Brave New Life began as a community of people across many time zones who chose to meet each other through feeling based relating, and by the winter of 2022 it had grown into a living web of circles, two main gatherings each week on Sundays or Mondays and on Thursdays, and around them a ring of smaller circles that members opened for one another with their own themes, their own hosts and their own warmth.
The circles of 2022
- Canada Circle, on Tuesday evenings, Eastern time.
- Embody Pure Love, on Fridays, timed so that North America and Western Australia could meet in the same room.
- Elder Flowers, gathering on Thursdays straight after the main Brave New Life circle.
- UK and Euro Circle, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for the European side of the family.
- Bodacious Serendipity, on Friday evenings, where talent was never required and enthusiasm helped as we shared, sang and laughed.
- Breathwork Circle, a place to learn and practise alchemical breathing together.
- Freedom Support Circle, on Mondays, created to offer extra support alongside the community calls.
The Bodacious Serendipity circle once became a birthday gift, when one of its hosts invited everyone to chant for universal peace and compassion for an hour as the best birthday she could imagine, and that spirit of offering, where members brought their services, their events and their happenings to share with each other, is what this archive remembers.
Where the story lives now
The voices of members live on in the testimonials, the letters we sent to the community live in the newsletter archive, and the teachings that grew in these circles live in the videos and in the written pieces, so the story of Brave New Life keeps unfolding wherever someone finds it and feels at home. Members who held a circle, or who carry photographs and memories from those years, are warmly invited to add their part of the story through the mailing list.
