Circles
A potent space to help you cultivate, explore, and feel nourished along whatever life journey you’re experiencing.
Community GATHERINGS
GATHER. GROUND. GROW.
Join Bewonderment and Sarah Ratermann Beahan in person for intimate sessions for creative seekers. Our mission is to cultivate community through our shared love for self-expression and ritual. The goal is to grow through creative practices, story-sharing, and group facilitation. We will commune around creative practices while fostering a healing space to continue returning to for our overall well-being.

DEMYSTIFY THE TAROT
The tarot is a sacred system used by mystics and healers alike. Rather than using the cards as predictive tool, we like to use them as a path to self-discovery and reflection. When you use the cards as a guide, they can reflect your patterns, motivations and blindspots.
In this four week workshop, you’ll have a chance to:
Learn the history of this sacred practice
Explore the archetypes, symbols and stories of the tarot
Learn the basics of the major and minor arcana
Explore the suits, court and numbered cards
Create tarot rituals for your daily life
Develop your own relationship to the cards and their power
Who it’s for: for the tarot curious, the beginner and anyone willing to explore
What to bring: journal and pen, birthdate information, and a tarot deck
What to expect:
Practical Tools: Handouts and cheat sheets to help you learn
Group Reflection: We learn from each other’s wisdom. We will have a chance to share, explore and connect.
Take Home Prompts: SRB will provide tarot prompts for further exploration between sessions.

Each season brings new and different gifts. The Wheel of the Year is an ancient Celtic tradition that celebrates eight solar rituals throughout the year. It represents the arc of birth, growth, harvest and rebirth. Each holiday is represented by a spoke on the wheel.
Sacred Spiral Circles offer a chance to embody the energy of the season with a ritual and teachings that will carry you through the next season.
Who it’s for: anyone interested in living in relationship with the seasons, eager for communion of like-minded souls and willing to connect within.
What to expect:
The Invitation: SRB will share the invitations of the season, the medicine it carries and the moon phase, animals, goddesses and totems associated.
Meditation + Visualization: This short guided meditation/visualization will usher us into the energy of the season and is meant for you to be able to carry with you when you leave.
Ritual: SRB will guide participants through a simple ritual to welcome the season.
Take Home: Writing and creativity prompts will be provided to help you continue to anchor into the season in the coming weeks.

Regular Communion with yourself and your community.
We will gather, commune, center and create. This is a monthly, generative workshop in all senses of the word. We will generate community, connection and inspiration. Each month will have a theme and I, Sarah, your guide, will provide grounding practices, prompts and take-home exercises on this theme.
Bewonderment Circles are built around Three pillars
-
Creating is innate, and happens everyday. With intention and attention, our creative practice can support us.
-
We are seekers and questioners. We lead with curiosity, whether that’s looking around us or within us.
-
We build safe spaces for vulnerable self-expression and creative risk.
Nothing can replace the magic that happens when we sit in a circle with our community.
Whether it’s a table or a campfire, bonds are forged, growth is catalyzed, and empathy is built when we gather together.
why circles?
We are hardwired for connection
It’s in our programming. We don’t just desire connection, we need it to survive. Research tells us that authentic connection improves our health outcomes and supports our mental health. What’s more, as we navigate a world that is grappling with fallout of a global pandemic, political unrest and climate crisis, connection on a micro-level allows us to build toward a world we wish to be in.
wonder inspires openness
When we come together with wonder in mind, we begin to see our world through the eyes of what’s possible. Shifting our thought patterns from certainty to questioning can make space for openings we didn’t realize we available. We are able to let go of toxic judgment and cultivate joyful, openhearted growth.
Ritual
Our culture has slowly divorced itself from meaningful ritual, and yet many of us crave the container and sustenance meaningful ritual provides. Casper Ter Kuile reminds us that to cultivate a ritual, we simply need to show up with attention and intention in a sustained way.
we want to be seen, heard and valued
We desire belonging. Being witnessed is healing. Being seen, heard and valued for our whole selves is nourishment. This means we have space to show up as our best selves of the day—which may look different from day to day, moment to moment. Circles make space for all of the versions of us.
lineage of the circle
Writer, teacher and activist Parker Palmer suggests that our souls are threatened by living a divided life, a life in which we compartmentalize and only show up as parts of a whole. Circles are inspired by Palmer’s Parker Palmer’s Circles of Trust, Mia Birdsong’s How We Show Up and Priya Parker’s principles of The Art of Gathering, among others, we seek to build safe spaces that combat the divided life.
Inner Growth ripples outward
When we dive inward, and explore our inner landscape, we emerge as further developed beings. The more we allow space for our own growth, in communion with others, the more this ripples into our families, friendships, workspaces and community.

Let’s expand this idea together! If you are interested in creating a Circle in your community, please let us know. The possibilities to gather around creativity are endless, but some include writing groups, forest foraging, book clubs, drawing jams, women’s circles, knitting circles, and walking groups.
