Santa Fe is well known for it's rich historic culture and diverse artistic community. The artistic and cultural communities in Santa Fe are widely celebrated and promoted throughout the year. These celebrations are responsible for bringing many diverse people, both locals and tourists, together which in turn helps form a strong cohesive community. Perhaps better known, but less widely celebrated, are Santa Fe's rich and diverse spiritual communities. The Land of Enchantment draws spiritual aspirants from diverse paths from many parts of the world. As most enlighten folks know, Northern New Mexico is a spiritual focal point, a holy (whole) land for America as well as the world. Spiritual Circles offer the best method for spiritual aspirants from different paths to come together and enjoy the strengths and benefits which other paths offer. One of the many secrets of a Spiritual Circle is that each participant in the Spiritual Circle is raised to the level of the highest person attending the circle. In bringing as many diverse spiritual paths together we can insure each other that we will be raised to the highest level possible. This is the power of congregation, community and the Spiritual Circle. While the benefits of attending a Spiritual Circle can be enjoyed by everyone and we encourage everyone to attend, it is most important that spiritually advanced members from various paths come forward to attend and represent your own faith group or path. Spiritual protection and energy are often forgotten in today's busy world, which in fact makes it all the more important that some aspirants help to keep the spiritual energy alive. The positive spiritual protection and energy that will result from attending a Spiritual Circle can not be measured through scientific means. Work conducted by persons like Masuru Emoto on energy resonance begins to provide a small scientific explanation but barely scratches the surface of the total benefits that are derived from exercises like a Spiritual Circle. On the surface a Spiritual Circle bonds communities together and helps to promote cooperation. On a more advanced spiritual level it provides protection, healing, positive energy and increased enlightenment. Summer Hours, Location and Time The main monthly Spiritual Circle will be held the first Friday of each month at the Rail Yard Park (see map) and will begin at 7:00 PM. A typical Spiritual Circle will last less than thirty minutes, so be on time, but keep in mind that they may vary in length according to the leader of that particular monthly circle. If arriving late or departing early do your best not to disrupt the circle. Enter and exit respectfully. The Weekly Spiritual Circles also held on Fridays at 7:00 PM during the Summer are less organized and more ad hoc. People who attend will join in a circle and then see what transpires. If someone feels inspired to lead they may lead. Otherwise the circle is more of a simple meditation circle permitting you to enjoy each others positive energy and meet new spiritually inclined friends. These circles are a great way to spiritually, physically and mentally energize yourself each week. They also carry a profound effect on the entire community as well as those who do not attend - but attending carries more benefit. The monthly Spiritual Circle will be lead by diverse spiritual leaders from all paths and all locals. If you are interested in leading a Spiritual Circle please contact us for details. We do not announce who will lead a particular monthly circle as the real benefit of a circle comes from the most advanced person attending - who is often the most inconspicuous. The only criteria for leading a Spiritual Circle is that all Spiritual Circles should be dedicated to the Creator in order to provide some common ground and purpose and avoid brining people together to worship say -- a flying pig. Otherwise, individual spiritual leaders are able to conduct the circles as they see fit.
Expect
something different each week and at each monthly main
gathering and keep in mind that everyone attending the
circle is raised to the highest level and highest
intention of the most advanced spiritual person in the
circle. So if things are a bit different than you would
otherwise adhere to, understand that your intention and
level will help raise everyone else. Spiritual Circles are the truest form of interfaith and ecumenical activity as they seek to uplift all others to the highest level without imposing individual beliefs or ideologies on anyone else. Real Charity Real charity provides enormous protection and healing for the individual giving as well as the surrounding community. Any collections made are for the sole intended purposes of helping those in need who are attending the Spiritual Circles with no charitable collections going towards any faith group, organization or administrative duties. Real charity empowers gatherings. Collections, if any, should be gathered and disbursed immediately after each circle. This is a sign of real charity - charity that affords real protection and real healing. One collection may be taken by one authorized person at each monthly gathering and immediately distributed to the needy who may attend. If the person collecting does not have the TREE STUMP they are not authorized to collect. We hope you are inspired to join us when feeling spiritually drained and especially spiritually advanced and share your positive energy with others. We are asking even a small representative group from each spiritual way or path to come and join in the Spiritual Circle. The benefits will be most profound and lasting for Santa Fe and all of New Mexico. Spiritual Circles are held rain or shine except in extreme weather conditions where venturing out may be dangerous. Spiritually uplifting instruments and musicians are always welcomed. Bring your own drums for any unexpected drum circle.
