The Long Walk
Gather the Women has created The Long Walk, so named because, throughout our days, weeks, months, and years of sitting in Sacred Circle, we become part of the Long Walk of our lives together as we continue to walk each other Home with deep listening, understanding, non-judgment, and love. The Long Walk has a predetermined topic each week and participants can share on the topic through their own personal stories, insights, and self-discoveries. These will be stories shared at the heart level, not head teachings.

What can you do to help your state of mind when faced with an uncomfortable situation or are anxious or “worried sick?” What if you are somewhere you would rather not be or forced to endure a difficult circumstance? The answer: THINK OF A HAPPY PLACE! Yes, escape to a positive image or scenario that makes you smile, gives you refuge, or helps you find a sense of optimism. Visualize a place to go in your mind. It’s a little like taking a mental vacation, allowing you to pause and enjoy some respite.
Here are some questions to ponder that may enhance our sharing during our Long Walk together:
What are some favorite memories to which you can return?
What are some imaginary places you have created in your mind?
What are some future possibilities to which you can devote some of your dream time?
