[IN-PERSON & ONLINE] International listening circle

Proposal aligned with http://cercledecoute.ch
We will moderate the circle in English and also provide the moderation guidelines in French if needed. Anyone will then be welcome to share in any language they wish.

If you're not coming in presence, you may join the videoconference with either:
• permanent shortcut http://NVCGeneva.ch/zoom
• using the Zoom Meeting ID 922 005 2018 and passcode NVC

General introduction:
In a listening circle, you may share in security and without judgment: your inner thoughts, and possibly those parts that are hurt, anxious, overwhelmed ─ as well as keep silent.
A listening circle is a free space, but does not aim at advising or solving problems. It is not a space for interaction or feedback, or questions-answers either. It is difficult to describe such an experience. Rather than telling about it, you are encouraged to experiment.
To help with the practical set-up, registration here is welcome although not mandatory ─ just come and be willing to welcome the others' speech, their realm and emotion, without counselling or consoling.

The schedule is:
• 19:50 Technical tests (useful if you're not familiar with the videoconferencing tool Zoom), welcome, short Q&A (useful if this is your first contact and need anything before the experience)
• 20:00 Circle starts
• 21:00 Closing of the circle

Practical information:
Optional donation is 5+ CHF for the expenses of the room, Zoom, Meetup, website and NVC Geneva, you may find details here: http://NVCGeneva.ch/giving
