What is alive between us? In this two-day Circling and embodiment immersion, we invite the opportunity to practice and play the subtle art of human relating.
Circling is a form of relational meditation in which the focus of attention is the shared real-time experience of being together. It invites us to attune to the thoughts, feelings, and impressions we often ignore or dampen in modern daily life. When relating in this way, we encounter truths we often overlook and learn to express them more freely. This helps us develop greater capacity, sensitivity and artfulness in the way we relate to ourselves and others.
As a participant in Lyric // Attunement, you will be invited to participate in practices that stretch you beyond your habitual patterns of communication and interpersonal relating. In times of increasing cultural conflict, we believe these practices can help us discover ways to meet difference—and even tension—with greater ease, beauty, and harmony.

Lyric // Attunement will be hosted by Dechen Ellen McSweeney, Tara Dougans, Tyler Stuart, and Garrett Jones. Since 2023, they have been practicing Circling as a quartet. This retreat is an offering from the music of their friendship.
“Lyric thought springs from love, love that attends to the most minute details of difference; and in this attention experiences connection rather than isolation.”
– Jan Zwicky, Lyric Philosophy
