WISE CIRCLE

A small-group offering for humans who are ready to tend to their inner life with presence, kindness and community. Designed to nurture healing and spiritual growth within a supportive and intimate space.

CHALLENGES OR FRUSTRATIONS

You might be facing
on the spiritual path.

❄️ Feeling emotionally alone and long for safe, soulful connection.

❄️ I get caught in overthinking, self-criticism or creative paralysis.

❄️ I want meaningful spiritual practice but don’t have a structure or guide to follow.

❄️ I’ve been neglecting my own needs and craving consistent, gentle self-care rhythm.

    —Bethany

  • “I joined wise circles to allow for support while undergoing EMDR. The light, love and happiness that I received from participating has definitely changed me.

Alexander you made me feel accepted and not so scared of the things that I have already survived."

    —Christine Kelley

The example and support personified by Alexander set the culture and the content of how we shared space. Truly a gift.”

    —Mary Schell

  • “Alexander is a true gift to this world. He has curated a space that is so perfectly nurturing for the soul at a time when so many are struggling and for that I am beyond grateful!

Thank you Alexander and to the others in my wise circle! It was magic and I will never forget the time we spent together. I wish I could spend all my days in wise circle!

    —Molly Gorney

  • “If you have the smallest whisper that a Wise Circle is something you may want to do, say yes! My five weeks of spiritual retreat was exactly what I needed in this moment of my life. As a busy working parent, intentionally carving out 90 minutes a week was such a gift. The blend of practice labs, writing, active listening and sharing was a beautiful way to tend to the tender parts of my soul. I can't say enough about the beautiful energy and container that Alexander provides to these circles. I hope to practice with Alexander again soon.”

    —Caitlin Thompson

GUESS WHAT

There was a season in my life when I felt like I was carrying everything alone. Practices scattered and, nothing felt grounded or connected. “I should be able to hold it all by myself,” I thought. But the truth was I was overwhelmed, stuck in my head, and hungry for a place to land.

Life changed when I realized I didn’t need a perfect practice, I needed a container. A rhythm and small circle of people who weren’t afraid of honesty or depth.

A place where I could show up as I was, without performing, and begin again.

That was an epiphany: transformation doesn’t come from force or discipline. Shift comes from returning. Being held from simple and intentional practices repeated inside a supportive circle.

And that’s exactly why I created the Wise Circle. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

I want you to experience what I found: clarity, presence, connection, and a gentle structure that helps your inner life bloom.

The Practice Labs:
Your Framework for Building
Discipline, Awareness and Contentment

Build a spiritual practice you can actually sustain. Each week focuses on one essential area of inner work: new beginnings, movement, music, drawing, writing, and meditation. These practice labs give you structure and guided support so you always know where to place your attention. No guessing or overwhelm. Just six weeks of practices that strengthen your presence, deepen your emotional resilience, and reconnect you to your creativity, intuition, and inner steadiness. If you’re looking for a meaningful, doable path back to yourself, this is it.

Week 1 — The Overture:
A Beginning Blessed With Fire

The season opens with The Overture — an initiation, a first light at the campsite, a shared breath as we cross the threshold together.

Overture:
noun. An opening or initiating move toward a new relationship.

Week 1 is a soft landing into our time together, a reminder that this is not a course you “keep up with,” but a spiritual retreat you enter at your own pace.

Week 2 — Movement of Body & Emotions: The Practice of Returning To Yourself

In Week 2, we turn toward the longest, most loyal relationship of our lives: our body — and her twin companion, our emotions.

Movement becomes medicine.
Emotion becomes energy-in-motion.
Your body becomes the prayer.

Jeff Brown writes:

“Excessive analysis perpetuates emotional paralysis.
You cannot heal and resolve your emotional material with your mind.”

Music has always been a doorway into presence — a companion that crosses borders and comforts where humans cannot.

This week, sound becomes a teacher.
Listening becomes a practice of attention.
Music becomes a way of softening into the truths beneath your daily life.

Week 3 — Music: Listening as Soul Practice

Week 4 — Drawing: Seeing With New Eyes

Drawing slows us down and invites us to look more closely — at the world, at others, at ourselves.

Sometimes we begin with what we think we see. With practice, drawing reveals the richer, quieter truth beneath our assumptions.

Artist Wendy MacNaughton writes:

“The moment I stopped looking for the story I expected to see,
an entirely new and richer truth was revealed.”

Week 5 — Writing: Pen to Page, Truth to Surface

Writing slows the mind and brings truth forward in her own timing. It is a place where you meet yourself in real time — memory, desire, fear, longing, clarity, curiosity, all arriving on the page.

This week, you’re invited to begin again, gently.
To write for fifteen minutes.
To walk at sunrise or sunset.
To put on music and let your pen follow whatever wants to emerge.

Week 6 — Meditation: Returning to Silence, Returning To Yourself

Meditation gathers all the other practices.
It teaches us to pause, to listen, to soften, and to begin again.

Silence is not something we create, it is something we lean into.

Meister Eckhart writes:

“There’s nothing in the world that resembles God so much as silence does.”

John O’Donohue adds:

“When you taste the intimacy of God it usually brings you to silence…
One of the lovely ways of praying is to come into that silence and relax within it.”

Here’s what you’ll receive each week in the practice lab, as well as the texture and spirit of the offering.

  • In Week 1, you’ll receive:

    • Video: Introduction to The Overture

    • Blessing from John O’Donohue

    • Audio: The Sacred, Secret World of the Soul (John O’Donohue)

    • Daily Suggestions & Mantras

    • Walking Meditation: Daily Mantras of Spirit

    • Guided Meditation: Circles, Spirals & Curves

    • Access to the Guided Meditation Starter Kit

    The Spirit of Week 1
    Beginnings carry a specific soul-heat. As John O’Donohue writes, a beginning is an invitation to open toward the gifts and growth that are already stored up for us.

    This week invites you to commit gently, to step into the season with curiosity, tenderness, and a willingness to be changed.

  • In Week 2, you’ll receive:

    • Video: Introduction to Movement

    • Video: Musings on Movement

    • Video: The Practice of Movement

    • Guided Meditation: Movement Within the Body

    The Spirit of Week 2
    This week teaches you to listen for the subtle cues — the ache, the pulse, the stirring under the ribs — and to make movement simple and nourishing. A walk. A stretch. A gentle sway.

    You are in spiritual retreat.
    Your body is your compass.
    Your emotions are the river that keeps you honest.

  • In Week 3, you’ll receive:

    • Video: Introduction to Music

    • Audio: Musings on Music

    • Audio: The Practice of Music

    • Video: Thoughts & Questions (from the piano)

    • Video: Music (from the piano)

    • Guided Meditation: May I Become the Song of My Heart

    The Spirit of Week 3
    As John O’Donohue writes:

    “May your hearts hear again the music
    in the lost echoes of your neglected wonder.”

    Walk with music today.
    Walk without music tomorrow.
    Let both shape your seeing.

  • In Week 4, you’ll receive:

    • Video: Introduction to Drawing

    • Video: Musings on Drawing

    • Video: The Practice of Drawing

    • Video: Demonstration for Drawing

    The Spirit of Week 4
    Drawing, painting, coloring, and handwriting poems become ways of grounding the nervous system — simple rituals of presence.

    Set a timer for 15 minutes.
    Make a mark.
    Switch from marker to paint if you want.

    The goal is not “good art.”
    The goal is attention and tenderness.

  • In Week 5, you’ll receive:

    • Video: Introduction to Writing

    • Video: Musings on Writing

    • Video: The Practice of Writing

    • A curated list of writing prompts to support your exploration

    The Spirit of Week 5
    Natalie Goldberg reminds us:

    “Continue under all circumstances.
    Don’t be tossed away.
    Get up and brush your teeth,
    and make positive effort for the good.”

    Writing is not about performance.
    It’s about presence.
    About returning to the page with openness, honesty, and a willingness to be surprised.

  • In Week 6, you’ll receive:

    • Video: Introduction to Meditation

    • Video: Musings on Meditation

    • Video: The Practice of Meditation

    The Spirit of Week 6
    Meditation doesn’t have to feel profound each time you sit.
    The practice itself transforms you — through your willingness to return.

    Begin again.
    The healing is in the return.

I do best with a community to
share with and actively listen to.

How to create empathy for myself,
as I would for someone else.

Meditation comes in all shapes and sizes.
Every way is the “right way.”

Practical tools for getting out of the head spiral
with writing and drawing.

How to create empathy for myself,
as I would for someone else.

How to move past my instinct to shape a share or writing prompt
into a “clean narrative,” and instead lean into raw,
immediate self expression.

I’m not alone in suffering.

It’s okay to use my voice.

I deserve 90 minutes a week to myself.

How to explore new avenues of play and creation.

How to create empathy for myself, as I would for someone else.

Showing up and doing simple practices
makes a profound impact on my life.

Practicing poetry, music, art, movement & mindfulness with fellow soul seekers has inspired me to burst with creativity and love my life again. To be alive is the point. Simple and profound and it was lovely to be guided by such a gifted, gentle and wise teacher.”

WHAT DO PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS
LOVE ABOUT WISE CIRCLE

Based on feedback from previous Wise Circle participants, you can expect to love:

The flow of weekly practice labs.

The whole experience was magic.

I loved the writing and drawing prompts.

The intimacy of the small group

Alexander’s gentle and wise presence and leadership.

Loved the weekly musings and meditations.

I love that I felt safe to share and be vulnerable.

I loved listening and caring fully to hear
another’s experience and feelings.

I LOVE that it just felt like such a safe and soft place to show up and be completely vulnerable. In the 5 weeks we sat with each other I really did feel like I connected with my soul siblings.

I really loved the format, the amount of time each session, and seeing everyone each week. I liked how you had a subject each week for drawing and writing.

“I loved watching someone's share unfold. It's one thing to share for three minutes... or five minutes... But a ten minute share is a journey, and a vulnerable one. It asks you to remain open and take up that space. And it asks us fellow Wise Circle members to remain in that state of deep listening. Some Circle members (myself included) would go on an entire emotional journey in those ten minutes, from a quippy entry into a deep revelation at the end. I felt so grateful to bear witness. There was so much humanity in that. I also was so grateful to have people bear witness to me. I tried my best in Wise Circle to not filter my experience for others, which was scary and hard. But it's something I needed to practice in order to accept myself more after recent relationship events and heal. Wise Circle gave me the environment to practice that.”

AJ Marechal

“Being a part of the Wise Circle reminded me how important it is to have a small community of people to share things with. The writing and drawing prompts gave direction making it easier for me to get started. Alexander is a terrific mentor, facilitator, and friend. I will be begging to sign up for another session.”

— Pam McGinnis

Is Wise Circle For You?

Wise Circle might be a good fit if:

→ You’re craving a small, intimate community where you can be honest and seen.

→ You want gentle structure for meditation, creativity, and emotional processing.

→ You’re navigating grief, transition, burnout, or a “something has to change” moment.

→ You long for regular, sacred time to reconnect to yourself.

→ You’re curious about bringing movement, music, drawing, writing, and meditation into your spiritual life (without perfectionism).

You don’t need to “be good” at any of this. You just need a whisper of a yes.

A FINAL INVITATION

If you have even the smallest whisper that Wise Circle might be for you, I’d love to have your presence this season.

Six Weeks.
Six Tuesdays.
One small, sacred circle of community.
Simple practices, lasting change.

“The Wise Circle provided a safe, playful, and loving space for me to practice using my (long-silenced) voice. It helped me navigate a very difficult life event with more courage and grace.”

— Julie Cornett

“Alexander's Wise Circle gave me a space where I could be witnessed as my realest self — messy emotions, processes and all. To be witnessed, and in turn witness others in their journeys, was very healing. We all deserve to have a space where we can show up exactly where we are at, and as exactly who we are. Spring Wise Circle gave me that. I can't wait to join again in another season!"

— AJ Marechal

“I enrolled in the wise circle during a really challenging time in my life. It was very therapeutic for me to have my experiences witnessed in a safe, loving, judgement-free space.

If I could do Alexanders wise circle every week for the rest of my life, I would 💜.”
