Circles
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
― Brené Brown
How many of us long for community, to gather with others with whom we can be our most authentic selves? How many of us hold back from expressing our truth, from sharing our deepest fears, anxieties, imaginings? Where do we go to feel safe enough to tackle the areas of our lives that are hidden from view for fear of being judged, criticized or misunderstood? All too often we suffer in silence, holding ourselves like emotional hostages, feeling lost, alone, isolated, alienated.
Welcome to the Circle, a gathering designed to offer connection, community, a container of safety, openness, mutuality and support. My role is to facilitate each Circle, keeping the integrity of the container and serving as a conduit for the deepest transformation available to each individual and the group as a whole.
“It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.”
― John Joseph Powell
Circles can be customized by a host where family and/or friends are invited to come together. Other Circles are a call-out to your community where swiftly strangers become heart-centered friends from the depth of sharing that occurs within the Circle. Circles typically meet monthly however there are no rules but one–all that is shared is to be held in confidentiality.
Please contact me directly to explore creating a Circle in your area. I am open to traveling to you as well as offering Circles online.
