Highly Sensitive People Community Circle

We are a community of highly sensitive people interested in exploring and sharing our gifts. Those with the trait of high sensitivity are often artistic, intuitive, deep thinkers, and empaths. We have so much to offer the world! At the same time, because we notice so many details and nuances others don't and because we feel and process deeply, we may naturally shy away from participating in groups, for fear of being overwhelmed or misunderstood. We may also shy away from leadership roles, even when we could offer so much of value.

To learn more about the trait of High Sensitivity to see if this description fits you, please take the assessment created by Psychologist and Researcher Elaine Aron and available on her website at http://hsperson.com/test/highly-sensitive-test/

In our regular community gatherings and retreats, we invite you to explore your gifts as a highly sensitive person and invite you to listen deeply to yourself, learning what nourishes you. We also invite authentic expression about challenges you face in fully trusting yourself and your gifts. Our gatherings  provide an opportunity for us to learn from each other what empowerment as an Highly Sensitive Person looks like and how this applies to the ways you would like to be living a more empowered life, even stepping into roles of leadership that feel exciting to you.

Surrounded by 70-80% of society who isn’t highly sensitive, it's easy to buy into a cultural perspective that our natural wiring is not a gift but a weakness. Together, we unpack these cultural misconceptions and burdens and explore ways to understand yourself from a new perspective, stand in your power, and gain tools - and a network of support - to trust yourself more deeply.
