Attending these practice circles for the last years has become an important touchstone for me in my life. Each session is structured around time in collective silence and a potent offering connected to each circle's theme - this may be mystic wisdoms or teachings or poems. Rare to an online setting, I feel there is a real spaciousness and immediacy to the quality of the space Pip creates through guiding us into deeper experiencing through somatic meditations and group sharing. I find it’s this reverance of each participant's unique experience whether they speak or not that builds over the course of each circle a felt collective sense of deepening into a space together that is nourishing and rich with inspiration. Thank you Pip for holding us so. What a gift!

Coming to the practice circles has become a delightful anchor in my life that brings a feeling of companionship, inspiration and stillness. I usually tend to avoid online gatherings because I find them hard to focus in and disembodied. But something about the way Pip holds the space allows an amazing sense of connection with my own embodied presence along with those of the group. The offerings are varied but always spur a sense of emergent meaning as the group shares impressions. I feel unusually comfortable either to speak or stay silent. I feel accompanied in life with the friendship and attentiveness of these very open and gentle spaces.

I've come to recognise the practice circles offered and held by Pip, are aptly named; they are for practice. In community, I get to practice quieting my restlessness and being with my whole self in the loving presence of Pip and others, who find resonance in Spirit. These sacred circles have come to feel like a sweet pause to my chaos; a long, cool drink to my thirst; nourishment for my hungry soul. I bring myself to these circles and I am met, as I am. To Pip and those who gather, I am so grateful.

Excited, nervous and vulnerable - that’s how I felt when I sat at the computer ready to start my first ever practice circle. Pip was so welcoming and the choice of content was brilliant, in every meaning of the word. So rich, deep and powerful. I loved the contemplation, group silence and hearing illuminations from the other circle members. I’m already excited for the upcoming practice circle offerings. Thankyou Pip.

The Circles that Pip offers are a source of healing, peace, and learning for me. Pip’s wisdom, heartfelt acceptance, and ability to help each member of the Circle feel loved, safe, and respected, is truly a rare gift.  Even though I’ve never met Pip nor any of the participants in person, the atmosphere of trust and unconditional love that pours out from everyone is extraordinary! Every time I sign into our Zoom meeting I feel like I’m entering a loving family home. Plus, I learn something new in every Circle. Thank you, Pip, and thank you my dear Circle family.

Pip’s Circle gatherings are rich in content, substance, insight and wisdom. The sessions are beautifully and sensitively held by a facilitator who has great experience in making sure that participants feel valued and at ease. If you are feeling a need to be inspired and replenished, then these heart-centred sessions are for you.
