⸻

An opportunity to experience authentic human connection, as you are, in the present moment.

In this session of European-style Circling (also known as Transformational Connection), we will collectively “drop in” to communicate and be with one another from a place of presence.
This is a relational practice centred on present-moment awareness to build bridges of true connection between our inner worlds. Here, you will be offered a space for:

• practicing authentic expression
• relating with wholeness and integrity
• attuning to our bodies and lived experience
• gaining insight into relational patterns and habits

Through guided paired and group interactions, participants practice presence, honest expression, and deep listening. Using self- and relational-awareness activities, you will be invited to share your authentic experience as it unfolds in real time, fostering individual and collective attunement.

To support depth and quality of relating, this is an intentionally small group, limited to 8 participants.

Open to adults who are curious about or experienced in Circling, Authentic Relating, and other relational practices, as well as anyone interested in deepening their capacity for connection and self-awareness.

This is a facilitated relational practice and not therapy or clinical treatment.

More information about the practice:

The session will be independently facilitated by a certified Transformational Connection facilitator trained by the Transformational Connection organisation (formerly known as Circling Europe).

Hello everyone,

You are warmly invited to this immersive afternoon of Authentic Relating. This event will involve fun and interactive exercises based around exploring the theme, "What is like to be in connection with myself and others?"

This is a space for exploring feelings, sensations, boundaries, and self-expression through immersive exercises. This is about empathic collaboration and learning the art of expressing what is present in the moment.

These beautiful practices really encourage an experience of increased depth and awareness, in a way that is sometimes not available in our everyday lives. The exercises work by creating a framework to explore communication in a non-scripted, in the moment way, which edges away from habitual patterns of relating and welcomes in more life, more breath, and more empathy.

One of the benefits of practices, is that it helps with learning to become more aware of ourselves and others and how do we inter-relate.

***NOTE: It is recommended that participants have some experience introspection and shadow work, through participating in counselling, sharing circles, meditation, contemplation, yoga, or any modality that is designed to bring people into contact with their unconscious. This is stated as a duty of care, as the practices in authentic relating revolve around meeting ourselves deeply and coming into contact with how we are occurring the world. This process can be beautifully enlivening, and at times confronting, but the space is guided in such a way that it brings as much holding, and gentleness to the process as to make those courageous steps to share deeply, easier.

If you are new to Authentic Relating or "AR" (as people in the community refer to it) and you have any questions or curiosities, please feel free to contact me via messenger for a chat. Also, there is a plenty of YouTube results for Authentic Relating practices.

*** *If you are experiencing financial hardship and wish to attend, please reach out and we can arrange something.

**please read Eventbrite details to.

**you cannot attend without pre-purchasing a ticket through the Eventbrite link.

**The doors for the event close 15 minuets after the start time, meaning, no entry is allowed once we have set the container, and spoken about the agreements, so please make the appropriate arrangements to arrive on time.

About me.

I've had a long history of interest in understanding my mind through various means of enquiry from Meditation, Yoga, Transpersonal Counselling, Sound Healing and Neurofeedback. In the last 8 years I have been deeply involved in the Authentic Relating movement immersing myself in practices and deriving tremendous insight into myself a growth within my own personal relationships as a result of this work. I have been facilitating groups to journey deeply into this work for the last 4 years and I am continually on a journey of getting to know myself deeper and bring artistry and humility to facilitating.

The event will most likely finish on time, with a 10-minuet buffer at the end in case we go over, there will be spare time to hang around and chat after.

There will also be a 15-minute break in the middle of the event, with some small snacks provided.
