What are Reflection Circles?
Reflection Circles are a powerful practice in our journey towards becoming the Übermensch. These are structured group sessions where participants engage in deep introspection, critical thinking, and open dialogue about their personal growth, challenges, and insights on the path of self-overcoming.
The Purpose of Reflection Circles
Reflection Circles serve multiple purposes in our community:
- Foster self-awareness and personal growth
- Encourage the questioning of societal norms and personal beliefs
- Provide a supportive environment for sharing experiences and insights
- Cultivate the ability to think critically and philosophically
- Strengthen the community bonds among those on the path to Übermensch
Structure of a Reflection Circle
A typical Reflection Circle follows this structure:
- Opening Meditation: To center participants and create a mindful atmosphere.
- Check-in: Each participant briefly shares their current state of mind and any recent insights.
- Topic Introduction: A facilitator introduces a philosophical concept or question for discussion.
- Reflective Writing: Participants spend time writing their thoughts on the topic.
- Sharing and Discussion: Open dialogue where participants share their reflections and engage in philosophical debate.
- Integration: Participants discuss how to apply insights to their daily lives.
- Closing: A final round where each person shares a key takeaway or commitment.
