Circling ist eine Einladung, dir selbst und anderen ehrlicher, offener und präsenter zu begegnen. In einem sicheren und respektvollen Gruppenrahmen erforschen wir, was sichtbar wird, wenn wir langsamer werden, tiefer zuhören und aus dem sprechen, was im Moment wirklich da ist. Statt bei oberflächlichen Gesprächen zu bleiben, üben wir eine Form von Präsenz und Verbindung, durch die innere Muster, Emotionen, Erwartungen und Beziehungsdynamiken bewusster werden können. Im Kern ist Transformational Connection / Circling eine Form von Meditation in Beziehung: präsent mit dir selbst sein und gleichzeitig in echtem Kontakt mit anderen. Durch ehrliche und empathische Kommunikation können Teilnehmende beginnen, die inneren Haltungen, Schutzstrategien und unbewussten Annahmen wahrzunehmen, die sie in Begegnungen mitbringen. Viele dieser Muster entstehen durch frühe Kindheitserfahrungen mit wichtigen Bezugspersonen sowie durch spätere Interaktionen in unserem sozialen und kulturellen Umfeld. Positive Erfahrungen können gesunde innere Überzeugungen stärken, während schwierige Erlebnisse emotionale Spuren hinterlassen und zu negativen inneren Grundannahmen führen können — zum Beispiel: „Ich bin nicht liebenswert“, „Ich bin zu viel“ oder „Ich muss mich schützen“. C. G. Jung beschrieb solche verborgenen Anteile der Psyche als Schattenaspekte — innere Anteile, die unserem bewussten Zugriff oft entzogen sind und dennoch unser Verhalten, unsere Beziehungen und unsere Persönlichkeit mitprägen. Kurz gesagt: In vieler Hinsicht kennen wir uns selbst nicht so gut, wie wir vielleicht glauben. Diese Gruppe schafft einen Raum, in dem unbewusste Überzeugungen, Prägungen und Beziehungsmuster behutsam ins Bewusstsein kommen können — nicht nur durch Analyse, sondern durch direkte emotionale Erfahrung, Präsenz und Verbindung mit anderen. ## **Haltung und Methodik** In der Gruppe wird eine innere Haltung von Offenheit und Empfänglichkeit gegenüber allen körperlichen und emotionalen Erfahrungen gefördert, die im Kontakt entstehen. Besonders wichtig ist dabei die Haltung des „Nicht-Wissens“: eine neugierige und nicht-wertende Erforschung dessen, was im Moment auftaucht — ohne sofort zu interpretieren, zu bewerten oder einzuordnen. Die Arbeit basiert auf der Gruppenpraxis des Circling / Transformational Connection, die Präsenz, Authentizität und echte Begegnung im Hier und Jetzt betont. Ergänzend fliessen Elemente der interaktionellen Gruppentherapie nach Irvin D. Yalom ein. Darüber hinaus werden Aspekte zeitgenössischer Spiritualität integriert, besonders mit Blick auf Verbundenheit, Einheit und Ganzheit. Mit der Zeit kann dieser Prozess Wahrnehmung, Präsenz, emotionale Ehrlichkeit und die Fähigkeit stärken, tiefere und bedeutungsvollere Beziehungen zu gestalten — zu dir selbst, zu anderen und zum Leben. Du brauchst keine Vorerfahrung. Eine Bereitschaft, präsent, neugierig und offen zu sein, genügt. **Hinweis:** Dies ist ein Raum für persönliche Entwicklung, Selbsterfahrung und bewusste Verbindung. Er ersetzt keine Psychotherapie oder medizinische Behandlung. Bitte komme mit Selbstverantwortung und Respekt für deine eigenen Grenzen sowie die Grenzen der anderen Teilnehmenden.

My own health issues led me to dive deep into different areas of health. During this 10 year journey I got introduced to the world of energy work and I immersed myself in it. Now I‘m supporting people on their healing journey with VortexHealing® and intuitive energy work. In VortexHealing® I‘m working with a divine presence called Merlin - the direct expression of transformational magic. By bridging divine energy and consciousness directly, this healing art creates profound shifts for body, mind and soul. With it we can very specifically work on the chakras, energetic bodies, meridians and other aspects of the energy system. While VortexHealing® works intention based, the intuitive aspect of my work includes voice, light language and body movements to shifts energies. Combining these two approaches allows lasting transformation to take place. Sessions can be focused on emotional challenges, trauma, physical conditions, relationships, stress, fears, anxiety, energy problems and much more.

The topic for July is "Shoes" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
