What we’re about
```
Connecting-Cirle is a practice of truthfulness in connection from moment to moment.
Open yourself up to something new, because every moment contains all possibilities. You are free to discover yourself, unfold fully, and freely shape your relationships with yourself and the world; the group will support you.
We work with queer sensitivity and openness to all people. Feel invited into the moment of encounter with yourself and others.
Come as you are, feel what is, and let yourself be surprised by the here and now.
Connecting-circle evokes the scent of authentic relating & circling, of emotional school and Gestalt facilitation, of Susan Campbell's "Getting Real," and ultimately, it's about feeling the world and learning to love in a vibrant and free way and being conscious; always in the Now.

„Was ich fühle, gehört zu mir. Was ich bin, darf hier sein.“
Manchmal ist es nicht die Welt da draußen, die uns trennt – sondern das, was wir in uns selbst nicht ganz wahrnehmen, nicht aussprechen, nicht spüren wollen.
Doch genau dort beginnt Verbindung.
Wie wäre es, heute nicht mehr an dir vorbeizugehen, sondern zu verbinden?
Dich zu zeigen – nicht erst, wenn du „fertig“ bist, sondern jetzt?
Dich zu fühlen – in deiner Klarheit, deinem Chaos, deiner Ruhe, deiner Wildheit?
Heute Abend wollen wir dem Raum geben, was in dir lebendig ist.
Nicht um es zu ändern – sondern um es zu sehen.
Nicht um „richtig“ zu sein – sondern um damit da zu sein.
Was passiert, wenn du dich selbst nicht verlässt?
Wenn du dich innen so zuwenden kannst, wie du es dir von außen wünschst?
Komm’ wie du bist, fühle was ist, bring mit, was du auf dem Herzen hast
und lass dich vom Hier und Jetzt überraschen.
Ich freue mich auf dich, euch und uns!
Herzlich,
SophieGefühlsschule - Montagsgruppe
