The Vision Circle is a deeply interactive and thought provoking monthly gathering for those who recognise the rise in human consciousness and the rapid changes taking place at both personal and global level.  It is a time for getting together with other like-minded souls who care deeply about the future of humankind and our involvement in that future.

 

The Vision Circle appeals to those who declare their spirituality to the world, lightworkers and healers who have the highest integrity as well as those who recognise their psychic abilities and who want to explore what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. 

Each session explores a theme and participation is key in order to build a vision for the future. 

The development and use of sacred ceremonies, healing energies and meditations also form a natural part of the gathering.  Together we will create clarity, understanding, support and help for each other during this time of change and enlightenment.
