SUMMARY:Introduction to Sacred Ground
DESCRIPTION:A 1-hour Zoom “Intro to Sacred Ground.” This is an opportunity for people who are thinking about committing to a Sacred Ground circle. An overview of the program will be given so that people can decide about participating. Previous years have proven that when an “Intro” session is offered it gives time for participants to share enthusiasm for the program and promote participation\, and those who enrolled after attending the introductory session stayed with the program the entire 12 sessions.
