Moment 3 of 3

For the
retreat.

A year of circle is eleven sessions and one retreat. These resources ask for more time than a four-hour session has, and some of them stir up things that need room to be held.

The retreat is not a longer session and it is not a trip: it is what separates a circle that lasts from one that fades out in month four.

Instructions

The circle retreat

How long it lasts, how the time is shared out, how it is paid for. And the tools that only fit there: the values card sort, the money genogram and the circle of influence.

The retreat planner organises it, months in advance.

How it is put together

Tool

The money wheel

Eight questions about your life with money: what comes in, what goes out, what you keep, what you owe, what protects you, what you know, what you talk about and what you want.

Each woman looks at her own and nobody compares.

Make my wheel

A proposed exercise

The letter to ten years from now

You write to the woman you are going to be in ten years. It would be the only thing in the circle that looks forward.

It is published so circles can try it; if it does not work, it is withdrawn.
