In Episode 5 we claim our ways of bringing our song into the world. As Martha Postlewaite writes in her poem “Clearing”, “only then (after you step into your forest, get completely lost, find the clearing, hear your song) will you know how to give yourself to this world so worthy of rescue.” And sing, we will. Welcome to Circle of Three, a conversation between two friends and colleagues with an invitation to you, the listener to step into the circle. Through poetry, story and an offering of personal and collective practices, Bonnie Loewen and Katharine Cherewyck aim to spark your own reflection — on your voice, your wisdom, and your practices of self discovery.And for those who want to take an even deeper dive, head over to BeingBeloved.ca for resources referenced and reflective questions.
