Recommitment Circle

Recommitment Circle (35 min)

Groups of 3

Total Timing:

• Opening – 2 min

• Reflection – 24 min

• Closing – 9 min

• Total Time: 35 minutes

Opening (2 min)

• Choose a timekeeper.

• Sit in silence for a few breaths.

• Short check-in: each person shares how they are today.

Reflection Round (24 min / 8 min each)

Each person takes about 8 minutes to share. Others mindfully listen with attunement.

Guiding questions:

1. Over the past three years of my participation in Planetary Dharma, what latent qualities are now maturing into gifts ready to be offered into the field of interbeing?

2. What “practices” have become living structures of being in everyday life? And, how do these living structures shape the way I metabolize the challenges and opportunities of our planetary crisis?

3. Where have I resisted the transformative edge of practice, and what beckons now for deeper surrender(can you articulate the resistance developmentally? or as an unintegrated part?)?

4. What am I ready to renew—not from discipline alone, but from a ripened longing to embody the Bodhisattva path more fully? (relate to Bodhichitta)

Closing (9 min)

• Go around once more: each person shares one thing they are carrying forward. (3 min each)

• End with a shared silence and a bow.
