“This group with your inspiration has been such an inner door opener for me. The calm pond is reflecting many stars. Thank you for all your support and guidance!”

Spiritual kinship circles are contemplative communities that encourage our awareness of loving presence. Below the level of ego thought consciousness, we can sense the existence and availability of a different source of infinite aptitude—if we tune in.
Spirit Speaks All the Time to One and All
Weekly, we meet to listen together.
It’s different.
In weekly group Circles, we can individually
and communally engage with this simultaneity of “I”, “we,” and “the beyond.”
Emails Every Sunday
Spiritual Kinship Circle members receive an email each Sunday with a new quote for contemplation during the upcoming week—view a sample here.
Contemplation in Community Once a Week
For about 45 minutes once per week, Circles meet online via Zoom for silent contemplation and genuine conversation, facilitated by Dinah.
First, you request to join a Circle by submitting a brief intake form. This simple form includes several short questions to help place you into a Circle.
Select from three SKC membership options.:
Ocean (Free): Once monthly public drop-In
Fountain ($25/month): Weekly private Circles
Waterfall ($50/month): Weekly private Circles + benefactor
Waterfall members are members as well as benefactors. They attend Circles alongside Fountain members while also endowing a scholarship fund for people who cannot afford monthly membership but wish to participate on a weekly basis.
Forming a Circle
Circles may be grouped together based on interest, location, or meeting availability. Fountain and Waterfall Circles are always capped at 7 members.
After you are officially enrolled and your payment has been processed, you will be matched with a new or existing Circle. You will receive a welcome packet followed by your first weekly SKC email, which includes your Circle’s private Zoom link and the invitation to your first session.
How do I join?
Joining with someone else? Please include their name on the intake form if you want to join the same Circle.
Ocean is the free monthly drop-in Circle,
hosted on the first Tuesday of each month at 4 PM PST / 7 PM EST.

Why should I join?
Contemplation deserves your commitment.
Regular practices such as Spiritual Kinship Circles can enliven your spiritual life and connect you with that wonderful vibe of like-minded community—all in just 45 restorative minutes per week.
Group engagement is a fruitful way to practice how you want to be, with yourself and others, in connectivity that is true, real, deep and full.
You are free to attend just as you are. Find yourself again on hard days, busy days, joyful days, and sorrowful days. There is no obligation to attend every session. You may keep your camera off and say nothing at all, if you wish.

“Every week, I am amazed at the depth of understanding that everyone receives. We explore meaning and relationship, both spiritual and philosophical. We gain personal insight on how this meaning relates to us as individuals and as members of community. Dinah facilitates a space of respect, openness and safety. She guides us along the path of understanding as we each follow our unique spiritual journey. I am so glad that I joined.”
— Denny, SKC Member
· ⋆.ೃ࿔ Spiritual Kinship Circles are designed to support you, not restrict you.
There is no obligation, only invitation, and hopefully a great experience for you.
In Spiritual Kinship Circles, we come as individuals who value spiritual exploration in a diverse community. This kind of spiritual community is unique, and the groups are deep and fun!
As you experience the pleasure and connection of deep listening, many people find they don’t want to miss a weekly session. But you don’t have to miss out on your Circle simply because you could not attend.
To support and encourage your ongoing contemplative practice and group experience, your monthly membership fee gives you:
Access to every video recording from your Circle so you can rewatch at your convenience
Follow-up emails from each session to keep you connected with your Circle
What seems to get in the way is part of the way. Rejoin your Circle whenever you can.
If you ever find that you can no longer participate regularly and wish to leave, I promise you will never have to fight to cancel your membership—and you will always retain access to the free monthly drop-in Circle.
