What we’re about
What is it like to be you right now?
The Sunflower Circles are a safe and confidential space to hang out, be heard, and get real.
We drop the "people pleasing," "tough guy/girlboss," or whatever masks that we've been wearing so we can show up as our authentic selves, and explore who we really are. We learn from one another's experiences and unfold into who we want to be.
Many people live in fear and fantasy, second guessing and surviving life, rather than meeting life with embodied presence, purpose, passion and personal power. As authentic people we are able to adjust our sails to harness the winds of change, navigating life’s challenges, whilst staying true to ourselves.
The Sunflower Circles are facilitated, not lead, meaning that our spaces are non-hierarchical and non-clinical. We meet the needs of everyone present and follow wherever the conversation naturally takes us. There isn’t a right or wrong way of doing things.
Wherever you are on your path of self-discovery, we hope to provide a community to support you and help you to find peace, purpose and passion in life.

What is it like to be you right now?
The Sunflower Club Circles provides a relaxed and safe place to talk, listen, and learn from one another's experiences. It’s a place to explore who we are, who we no longer need to be, and how we can lead better, fuller lives. A place where we can practice showing up, and grow in authenticity; a place without a hierarchy, judgement, blame, or shame, where everybody knows your name.We start with 2 minutes of silence and a round of check-ins: Your name, what's up for you, and how you feel right now.
From there, the group goes where we want it to go. If there's a common theme around everyone's check-ins, we start with that, otherwise sometimes people will bring something that they're struggling with, or a question that they want feedback on.
These groups are a place for people to connect, experiment with who they are, and walk away with insight and support.
