Monthly Refire Wisdom Circles 

A sacred space to reflect, connect, and reimagine life’s next chapter

Teaching was more than a career—it was a calling. But what happens when the school bell rings for the last time? Retirement can be a season of freedom, but also one of questions: Who am I now? Where do I belong? How do I continue to live with purpose?

That’s why I created Monthly Wisdom Circles for Retired Educators—a safe and intentional space for teachers, counselors, and school leaders who are retired or thinking about retirement.

In these circles, we:

  • Open and close with simple ritual (a reading, candle-lighting, or moment of silence).

  • Use a talking piece so every voice is honored.

  • Listen deeply and compassionately—without judgment or interruption.

  • Speak from the heart with honesty and courage.

  • Honor confidentiality, creating trust and belonging.

Unlike traditional support groups, these circles aren’t about fixing or giving advice. Instead, they are about awakening wisdom—within ourselves and each other.

Why Join?
