Circle of Sophrosyne is a recovery-based meeting for those afflicted and affected by any kind of addiction. We are not an exclusive group.
Our foundation is rooted in the traditional 12-step programs of recovery, but we aim to make the traditional program more relevant, inclusive, and meaningful for those who are magically minded. In recovery-based meetings it is traditional to not engage in cross talk or conversation. Although you may share in reference to one of the readings, we ask that you do not reply to or comment on anyone else’s share or story. In addition, anything that is said in the circle stays in the circle.
Sophrosyne (Greek: σωφροσύνη) is an ancient Greek concept of an ideal of excellence of character and soundness of mind, which when combined in one well-balanced individual leads to other qualities, such as temperance, moderation, prudence, purity, decorum and self-control.
PRAYER FROM THE ARBORETUM MYSTICUM INSPIRED BY THE SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER
May the veil be opened, and may we stand humbly before the mysteries.
May divine Fire ignite and align us. May the lower vibrations be not worshipped nor deemed more powerful than thine own self. May our will be aligned with the Divine Will and may we know this divinity not in a condition of sorrow but in joy.
May the sacred well rise within us, to cleanse and to nourish us. May the Waters of the Great Sea flow through us, and as they carry away pain, may they carve out great depth and understanding. May we crave not that which we do not have, for every sacred thing exists within us. May our emotional body be aligned with Divine unconditional Love and know this divinity not in a condition of longing but in service.
May Divine wisdom be carried on every breath, and may it strengthen us in right knowing, and may we dispel fear and falsehood. May our minds be aligned with the Divine mind, and may we know this divinity not in a condition of strain nor chaos but in Peace.
May the Earth beneath us be as a home and hearth. May we find our footing here and worship not matter but reject it neither. May we judge no part of our body as evil. May our physical body be aligned with the Divine body and may we know this divinity not in a condition of suffering but in gratitude.
Vibrate together the ancient formula of resurrection IAO (Eee-Ahh-Oh)
