“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
What is alive between us? And how, in any given moment, can we attend to what lives here — in the space between you and me, between lover and beloved, between friends? 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 contemplation is the shared real-time experience of being here with. It invites us to attune to the resonance we often ignore or dampen in modern daily life. When Circling in this way, we playfully attend to the “most minute details of difference” in support of developing greater capacity, sensitivity and artfulness for both personal and relational coherence, creative interplay, enlivenment and love.

As a participant in Lyric // Attunement, you will be invited into a series of contexts, practices, and inquiries. These have been designed to cultivate capacities that bring us beyond personal development and into a broader web of life, care, and responsibility. In a time of divisive noise, we pray our coming together will tune us to a deeper harmony.

Lyric is an intersubjective research vessel composed of Dechen Ellen McSweeney, Tara Dougans, Tyler Stuart, and Garrett Jones. Since 2023, they have been engaged in the practice of Circling as a quartet — exploring what happens when the form is practiced within a field of devotional friendship. This retreat is an offering from the music of their friendship.
