Walking the Inner Paths

We’ve arrived out of that dark and quiet path from Christmas Eve to the New Year. A week noted for its stillness. In that stillness, we have so much space for traversing the inner path.

Those realms inside teem with life, as long as we tend to them. The inner forest, just like the ones in the world outside, are made. And we are the gardeners. We garden by walking, touching, sitting, watching, listening, being.

Even the mighty Amazon, it is said, was brought into its fullness as a jungle through human love and care. The fertility was built over generations spanning 100,000 years, each one composting and burning the lower layers of the soil—you can read about that process here. Far from interfering with the process of “nature,” human activity is vital to it.

As within, so without.

Our Journey So Far

The Container has been on its own inner journey. And it’s time we let you in on some of the work we’ve been doing.

After more than two years, The Container has gone from a side project using the equipment we had lying around to something much bigger.

That change is accelerating.

Just in the last couple of months, we’ve purchased all-new equipment and pursued expert advice on a range of topics, as well as gotten training from the very best in the field of the relational arts.

And now, it's time to show our growth.

The Container is preparing a relaunch for early 2026. This includes more public event types, digital content concepts, and amped up production value. It is a launch into the deep, the dark expanses of the inner terrain and the far out reaches of we-space practices—those places we can only get to together.

Over the next year, we will explore a range of mystical and magical worldviews to bring them into dialog with Circling. We will uncover related practices (and show you some we've developed on our own). We will check in with the leaders of the field. And we will develop educational experiences to beam this information directly to you.

In the meantime, bear with us as we finish this trek through the inner forests. You’ll hear more from us soon.

Thank you for being a part of the journey. We can't wait to see you in this new year.
