LIVE STORY CIRCLE

Free monthly gathering from Daily Inspired Life - a warm, uplifting, globally diverse space where people gather around story.

We share real-life inspiring stories from all over the world.
The Story Circle is an uplifting space where we read, reflect and share stories together.

People join from different countries, different faiths, different backgrounds and life stages.
We show up for one another, not because we are the same, but because we value our differences.

This is about honouring our stories, and noticing what begins to shift when they are shared and witnessed. It’s about being present, connected, and finding meaning in our stories, while becoming part of a growing global community.

If you’ve been longing for a space that feels supportive, uplifting, and human, you’re welcome here.

Join the Circle

If this feels like a space you’d like to be part of, you’re welcome to join us below.
We ask people to register so we can keep the circle contained and honour everyone’s time and presence.

// Ghazala Anbreen, pakistan

It's a truly wonderful experience and I am grateful to have been invited to join. I can't wait for the next ones. Same, same but different reminds me of the saying 'we have more in common than we do our differences.

With the motivation and guidance of Karletta Marie, I am becoming unstoppable. Appreciation goes to everyone who participates in the circle.

What this space is about

The Story Circle is a gathering filled with kind, caring humans coming together to inspire, uplift, and support one another through the power of story.

People are welcomed as they are.
Voices are treated with care and respect.
Listening matters here.

This is a shared space. People engage in different ways, but everyone helps hold the circle.

What happens when we meet

Each month, we gather live online as a small group.

The rhythm of the circle is simple:

We arrive and are welcomed into the space
We hear one story from the Daily Inspired Life community
We reflect through conversation and a short piece of personal writing
People share what they wish to share
We close the circle together

Some people speak more than others. Some listen deeply and contribute when invited. Both matter.

Stories are not analysed or debated. They are listened to, witnessed, and allowed to do their work.

A global circle, shared humanity

One of the most meaningful parts of the Story Circle is its diversity.

People join from around the world, bringing different backgrounds, beliefs, and lived experiences into the room. There is no expectation of sameness here.

We don’t fix, correct, or persuade one another.
We listen. We reflect. We honour what is shared.

Again and again, people tell us the same thing: despite our differences, the human themes in our stories are deeply familiar.

Care, respect, and witnessing each other

This is a kind and caring space, and it’s also one built on mutual respect.

We ask that people:

arrive with presence
listen with attention
speak from their own experience
honour what is shared in the circle

We love to hear from everyone, however you don’t have to share unless you’re ready. Even quiet presence is an active choice here.

It’s a circle held with intention.

I now see those little pleasures which I unwittingly ignored and I learned to take life holistically in all its shades and looked for the beauty. small acts, gestures and words ...

I know whatever grief or heavy heartedness I may be experiencing earlier this virtual meeting makes me forget all those.

// Ghazala Anbreen, pakistan

I am especially grateful for the love, comfort and wisdom that filters through and surrounds our circle like a global virtual hug.

Through the narrative reflections and shared stories, I've come to see that while adversity makes you feel a victim, surviving makes you a hero.

The circle has changed my entire mindset to believe I am a hero in my own life story.

// LINDA BALL, AUSTRALIA

This writing journey helped me see the strength and beauty I already carry. I realized that my difficult times brought out the warrior child in me. Being part of the circle gives me courage to keep moving forward.
