The Circle That Holds Us: A Christmas Reflection

Christmas was never meant to be about hierarchy, worthiness, or reaching toward something unreachable. Beneath the tradition, the doctrine, and the commercialization, Christmas is a remembrance - of love incarnate, of the sacred within all beings, and of our belonging to one another in a living, interwoven whole. In this Christmas episode, I reflect on a teaching inspired by an experience that stayed alive in my field after hearing Robin Wall Kimmerer speak - a simple but profound contrast between the pyramid we inherited and the circle that is actually true. The pyramid shapes how we relate to God, to teachers, to the Earth, and to ourselves - placing worth, intelligence, and holiness on a vertical scale. The circle tells a different story: one of kinship, interdependence, and shared light. We explore: • The hidden hierarchy beneath religion and spirituality • How the pyramid distorts our relationship with Jesus, Earth, and self • Why the circle is not symbolic, but the true shape of reality • What “right relation” actually feels like in the body This episode concludes with a gentle, guided meditation — a living image of light, connection, and remembrance - inviting you to experience this truth rather than simply understand it. If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by religious hierarchy but still deeply connected to the sacred… If you sense that Christ’s message was about embodiment, not elevation… If you are longing for a spirituality rooted in belonging rather than striving… This reflection is for you. May this be part of your Christmas remembrance - a return to the circle that holds us, the light that moves through us, and the sacred that lives within and around all things. #christconsciousness #godwithin #indigenouswisdom #christmas
