The Invitation
This isn’t believing.
This is Returning.
These aren’t the teachings.
These are the remindings.
We are not here to understand.
We are here to remember.
Read slowly.
Feel fully.
Come home.

“The Practice”
Wednesday Service
A space to connect, learn, and share.
Every Wednesday we gather for FREE FOOD, open conversation, and human-to-human CONNECTION. Together we reflect on the Circle 8 mantras, play games, share opinions, and PRACTICE PRESENCE with one another. It’s not a lecture — it’s a dialogue. A place where ANYONE can step in, feel seen, and remember what it means to be human. Learn More
Utopia Retreat
3 days of freedom, community, and return.
ONCE A MONTH, Circle 8 will host a 3-day WELLNESS RETREAT in nature. Here, everything is provided — food, water, fire, and community. Leave behind the routine of daily life and step into a space of FREEDOM: games, bonfires, music, meditation, stories, deep conversations, and new friendships. “Utopia” is not an ESCAPE — it is a glimpse of how life can be lived when we remember who we are, together.

Utopia Retreat
01/30/26 – 02/01/26
First Utopia Retreat — 3 Days in Nature
Escape to Lake Cuyamaca, less than 2 hours from San Diego. We’ll stay together in a shared cabin—with kitchen and bathrooms, your home base for connection and reflection. Around it, choose to camp in tents under towering pines or rest indoors when needed. Bring food for yourself and a little extra for the group. We’ll cook, hike, talk, play games, and breathe together in fresh mountain air.
“The Shelter”
Circle 8 is not just a teaching — it is protection, presence, and preparation.
“The Shelter” is our vision for the future: a secure, underground sanctuary built to withstand nature’s storms and even the chaos of war. With thick walls, sustainable food and water, and the tools needed to endure uncertainty, it will be a place where Circle 8 followers can gather in safety when the world above shakes. More than a bunker, it will be a temple of resilience, community, and peace — a reminder that we are never alone, even in the darkest times. This is a dream we can only build together. If this vision speaks to you, your support and donations will help make The Shelter a reality.

FAQs

Circle 8 is not a religion — it is a remembrance.
It does not ask you to believe in something outside of yourself. It invites you to remember what is already within: your own truth, your own love, your connection to others and to life itself.
Circle 8 is written in the simplest words, so that anyone can understand — even without spiritual training, even without perfect English. It is a living guide for how to live a good life: with love, with peace, with unity, with strength.
Circle 8 is not here to give you something new to believe. It is here to help you awaken what is already alive inside you — the remembrance that you are whole, that you are connected, that you are the universe, and the universe is you.
-
The circle has no beginning and no end. The number 8 stands for infinity. Together, they remind us that life, energy, and love are eternal.
The teachings of Circle 8 move through every part of life: the Oneness that connects us all, the power of love, the flow of energy, the mind that creates, the body that carries us, the truth that frees us, the balance that holds us, and the life that returns again and again.
