The program year

One module per sign, about two meetings each. Every circle works the same theme at the same time, so a man can walk into any circle and know where the year is.

Winter

Stillness and foundation

The year begins in stillness. New members enroll in December and spend January and February in the opening course, laying the foundation before the first Circle Night.

Full output and connection

The long days. Circles are at full strength and the themes come home: family, heart, and the daily habits that hold a life together.

Fall

Letting go and going deeper

The year goes deeper and lets go. It closes with the Desert Retreat, where every circle gathers as one, and then enrollment opens for the next year.

How a module is built

Same four parts, every module.

Each module opens in the Space the day its sign begins. Members see the practice focus and round questions. Hosts see both meeting plans and the host note.

Two Circle Night plans, each with a practice, a teaching and a round question.
A daily practice focus for the weeks between meetings.
An optional moon ritual for the new or full moon in that sign.
A host note: what tends to come up, and what to watch for.
