I like to call them sharing circles, a place where all sorts of things are shared. Talking and discussing issues. Telling stories about the journeys we have been on and the people we have spoken to and what they have taught us. Teaching circles where gifts of craft can be shared and taken home and made into something beautiful, basket making, mat making.
I made a talking stick at a woman's sharing group I was apart of many years ago, I have never forgotten the gifts that were shared with in that circle. I would very much like to pass on the knowledge that was shared with me during that precious time.
I told Uncle Tom that we would try to get a circle built down at the water near the foot bridge in Urunga and so we have to place submissions with council to get approval for the structure to be built there on the foreshore where Uncle Tom loved so much. Sadly Uncle passed away earlier this year before he could see the circle built. I hope to make it a reality.
