Define your purpose
Intention: Determine the purpose of your meditation circle. Is it for relaxation, spiritual growth, stress relief, or strengthening family bonds?
Type of Meditation: Decide on the type of meditation you wish to practice (e.g., mindfulness, guided, silent, mantra).
Start with Intention
- Quiet Environment: Select a quiet and comfortable place where you can sit or walk undisturbed.
- Ensure there's enough space for everyone to sit or walk in a circle. You can use cushions, mats, or chairs.
- Other circles can be for walking meditation and Tai Chi where sand is used as with my circle.
2. Choose a Location
3. Set the Date and Time
4. Invite participants
- Consistency: Choose a regular schedule, such as weekly or monthly, to help yourself and others plan and commit.
- Duration: Decide on the length of the session (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour).
5. Prepare the space
- Clean and Organize: Ensure the space is clean and welcoming.
- Ambiance: Use candles, incense, or essential oils to create a calming atmosphere.
- Centerpiece: You might want to place a centerpiece in the middle of the circle, such as a small altar, a bowl of water, flowers, or a crystal.
6. Structure the Session
- Opening: Start with a brief introduction and set the intention for the session.
- Guided Meditation: If applicable, guide the participants through a meditation or play a recorded meditation.

- Closing: Conclude with a few moments of reflection or a group discussion.
- Be Present: As the facilitator, maintain a calm and grounded presence.

- Stay Connected: Keep in touch with participants and inform them about upcoming sessions.
7. Be The Facilitator
