A living experiment in shared spiritual life.
Small circles of practice. A wider community of seekers. Each of us walking our own path, supported by relationships that help us learn, heal, and bring our gifts into service.
Praxis Circles ground TOTOH’s mission in everyday life. We bring spiritual understanding into action, then return together to reflect on what we are learning.
We seek to move more consciously and fruitfully along our unique journeys: recognizing patterns sooner, integrating insight more deeply, and becoming more available to love and service. Each person retains their own discernment, choices, and pace.
Depth grows through consistent companionship. A wider community lets that depth become connection, mutual care, and collective learning.
Three or four people meet regularly to share their lived experience, meditate, study, and choose a practice for the days ahead. Over time, the circle becomes a dependable place to ask for support and offer it.
The Commons is the shared life connecting the circles. Through gatherings, exchanged discoveries, practical support, and voluntary service, we come to know and experience the larger whole.

The intention of the original Praxis Circle
Praxis joins study with action. What we read meets the questions we are living. What we discover becomes something to practice.
Arrive together and reconnect with the purpose of the circle.
What have you practiced? What are you noticing? Ask for the kind of response you welcome.
After a short break, spend time in meditation together.
Explore a short teaching in conversation with your own experience.
Name an honest, workable intention for the coming week.
Celebrate what is growing and name the “Red Thread” that connected your time together.
A way to see the whole, meet one another, and give our shared life practical expression.
The Commons grows alongside the circles. These are the forms we propose to cultivate together.
Monthly Commons gatherings bring us together for meditation, conversation, and celebration. Small groups mix participants from different circles, allowing new relationships to take root.
Seasonal gatherings offer more time for meals, practice, play, and voluntary service. They also welcome people exploring whether this community is a fit.
A simple circle directory and shared calendar can help participants discover one another, find gatherings, and see which circles welcome inquiries. Personal profiles and visibility remain optional.
A shared space for offers and requests can connect gifts with needs: a skill, a listening ear, practical help, or an invitation to serve together. Every offer respects the giver’s capacity and the receiver’s choice.
Participation is self-selected, with mutual agreement about fit. We look for sincere willingness, compatible availability, and care for the shared agreements. Spiritual attainment is neither assessed nor ranked.
Begin with people you know, meet companions at a formation gathering, or connect through an existing participant. Experience a short practice together and share what you hope to give and receive.
Three or four people discuss the intention, adopt the agreements, and choose a regular meeting time. An initial eight-week cycle gives the circle room to develop.
At the end of the cycle, decide together whether to continue, adjust, or form different circles. New members join by mutual agreement. As interest grows, additional small circles take shape.
You can participate in Commons gatherings while finding your circle. Changing or leaving a circle is a legitimate choice; a caring transition can honor the relationships formed.
After each four-week reflection, circles are invited to share a brief learning note. Together, these contributions become a living practice library: useful prompts, experiments, discoveries, and questions.
At Commons gatherings, demonstrate something helpful or invite others into a question. Each circle is free to try an adaptation and share what happens.
Share learning about the process. Personal stories travel beyond a circle only with specific permission.
Our ethics take shape in the way we relate. Free will must be felt in the actual experience of participation.
Choose what to share and practice. Pass, decline advice, question a teaching, change a commitment, or leave. Participation carries no obligation to provide money, labor, intimacy, or agreement.
Ask before offering advice or interpretation. Listen, check understanding, and let each person name the support they welcome. Protect confidences and agree explicitly on recording or sharing.
Circles shape their own practice within common agreements. Welcoming, convening, and coordination are clear, limited, reviewable roles. These responsibilities confer no spiritual authority.
Circles choose their readings, meeting arrangements, roles, and refinements. Proposed changes to shared agreements are discussed across the network. The manual evolves through what participants learn.
The proposed network includes a route to trusted peers outside your circle, with conflicts of interest addressed and decisions open to review. Nobody must confront someone directly or accept mediation to be heard.
Before launch, participants will clarify the shared agreements and the process for responding to serious concerns.
Praxis Circles draw explicitly on the teachings of Ra and the Confederation of Planets, as shared through L/L Research. Within this spiritual framework, all beings are expressions of the One Infinite Creator. The positive path is an orientation toward love and service to others, honoring free will.
We explore what that means in our daily choices, relationships, and contributions. Each person brings their own discernment to the teachings. Growth is recognized through lived experience: greater honesty, compassion, freedom, dependable care, and the expression of our gifts.
We ask what is changing and what is helping. We do not score spiritual progress.
The invitation is to sincere inquiry, willingness to practice, and respect for the shared agreements. You can bring uncertainty and questions. The program has an explicit spiritual foundation, and you retain your own discernment.
Your circle is a small, consistent group for deeper personal practice and companionship. The Commons connects all the circles through gatherings, learning, and mutual support. You can build relationships across the network while maintaining continuity in your circle.
You and your prospective companions discern together. Formation gatherings help people connect around practical compatibility and shared intention. Existing circles welcome new participants by mutual agreement; coordinators can assist with introductions.
You choose a practice and return to reflect on what happened. Others offer the support you have agreed to receive. Curiosity and honest learning guide that conversation, including when an intention needs to change.
Participants share responsibility through defined roles that can be reviewed and rotated. A facilitator holds a meeting’s process; a coordinator helps the network function. Neither role gives authority over someone else’s spiritual path.
Aaron, BJ, and Jess developed and practiced the original Praxis Circle together. This next iteration preserves its intention, meditation, study, personal reflection, and chosen practice, while adding a Commons where many circles can learn and grow together.
The program is being developed for TOTOH Collective members. Formation gatherings, launch dates, locations, any contribution, and enrollment details are still being finalized. The eight-week opening cycle and Commons rhythm are the proposed starting structure.
A circle begins with a few people willing to show up. A Commons grows as we become available to one another.
The proposed first step is an eight-week network pilot, with a formation gathering and shared Commons gatherings at weeks four and eight. Participants will help refine what comes next.
Participation details will be shared with the Collective as the first circles take shape.
