Voices of Compassion: A Talking Circle of Connection

Saturday April 25, 2026 5:30pm - 6:45pm MST

Palo Verde

In this experiential offering, we gather in circle — a timeless practice of equality and presence — to honor the power of listening (śravaṇa), not for the sake of being heard, but to truly seek understanding. This sacred shift — from the desire to be understood toward the intention to understand — opens a doorway to karuṇā (compassion) and sangha (community). Together, we create a container where trust (śraddhā) and presence can flourish.

The circle begins in silence, followed by an introduction to the theme of compassion and connection, including the obstacles that often prevent us from fully embodying these qualities. With the support of a talking stick passed hand to hand, participants are invited to share their reflections in turn, free of judgment, advice, or interruption. Each voice is honored, each story stands alone, and each contribution is received in collective presence — an expression of true satsang (gathering in truth).

Eva Maurice, spiritual counselor and enlightenment educator, has been guiding talking circles for over 16 years. She holds deep respect for this tradition and invites both seasoned practitioners and first-time participants to enter the circle with openness and reverence. We close with meditative silence, sealing the experience in gratitude and unity. Participants leave with a renewed sense of compassion, belonging, and the embodied wisdom that listening is itself an act of love.
