Authentic Relating and the “Original Circling® Approach”
Be seen, heard, "gotten" & accepted and learn to do the same

NOTE: Once we get the IN PERSON event going and established in Berkeley, we will look for a venue in the Peninsula as well. If you are interested in hosting events in your home, let us know!

Do you crave:
-More fulfilling relationships?
-Conscious & loving community?
-To feel more alive?

Come play, experience & integrate practical skills to:
-Create deep, intimate connections
-Transform ordinary surface conversations into juicy, heart opening, enlightening explorations for personal insights & healing
-Become more present & comfortable in your own skin
-Uncover our “relational blind spots” where we push away the depth of connection & intimacy that’s possible
-Practice listening to the essence of someone’s soul
-“Get someone’s world” like a mind reader
-Tap into the power of your vulnerability that has you more lovable
-Be understood, appreciated & celebrated for the essence of who you are
-Create more love, connection & community

Join us for an evening of authentic relating, practicing profoundly unique skills like getting someone's world (deep empathy), sharing impact (honesty & vulnerability), and speaking the moment (courage, insight, shared reality, making connection more important than content). This work has been powerful and deeply nourishing for me and I'd love to share it with you. I’ve never seen a practice more adept at melting the distance between two hearts.

What does a Circle look like in terms of format, with the Original Circling Approach?
A group of 4-10 people sit in a circle & put their attention primarily on one person, and, with the help of a facilitator, notice what it's like being with this person moment by moment, share impact & observations, and co-explore what that person’s experience and world is like, essentially getting into deep relationship with what is most true & alive for that person. A typical evening includes introductions, an exercise to practice authentic relating & 2 rounds of circling - each approximately 30 minutes in length.

The experience of “being seen” for who we authentically are is one of the most rewarding experiences we can have as human beings, and the Original Circling Approach teaches us how to see & celebrate each person for the unique flavor they bring to the world.

We don’t give advice or try to fix anyone. Rather, we welcome and stay with “what is”, so we can relax into the truth of our experience, feel supported & know we are not alone.

“Circling practice is to get in a deep relationship with what is.”
