a shared inward practice of quiet withdrawal to tune out from distraction and tune in with silence, presence, and remembrance.
-
this is a self-guided, home-based inward practice, held through shared intention rather than instruction.
between January and March, those who step into the circle choose a consecutive two-day period to fully withdraw from non-essential distractions, holding this time as a sincere pause of silence and inward attention.
the three-month window is intentional. it allows space to gently prepare — gradually reducing noise, softening habits of constant input, and orienting inward — so the chosen two days of complete quiet feel grounded rather than abrupt.
on April 12, we gather for a bonfire circle, marking a shared moment of reconnection, gratitude, and integration.
there is no external monitoring. the practice is self-held; the only guide is your own awareness
-
a home-based, small-group inward practice, not to escape life, but to meet it more clearly.
it is inspired by ancient contemplative ways of turning inward; practices known by many names across cultures and traditions. you might call it Iʿtikāf, Vipassanā, hitbodedut, a period of retreat, or simply time set aside for silence and presence.
the language may differ. the essence is shared.
-
this practice is less about adding effort and more about removing interference. it invites sustained inward attention, stepping away from non-essential communication, stimulation, and social exchange, and a return to conscious awareness of breath, body, and inner movement.
this practice makes space for remembrance and conscious self-connection, held in silence and simplicity, which may include:
prayer or devotional remembrance
breath awareness or gentle breathwork
seated meditation or stillness
slow, mindful movement or yoga
contemplation, reflection, or journaling
quiet presence with the body and inner states
there is no single method to follow. each person is invited to listen inward and allow the days to unfold in a way that feels sincere and grounded. thoughts, emotions, impulses, and sensations are allowed to arise and pass — observed without reaction or correction.
reconnection & integration
following the completion of the practice, we will gather around a bonfire circle on April 12 as a gesture of gratitude and integration.
this gathering is optional. it is an invitation to listen, integrate, and allow what has surfaced to settle into the body and the shared field.
note: further details and gentle guidance on how to hold this will be shared with those who register.
