Circling: Monthly Deep Dive

You’ve tasted the transformative quality of Circling, felt the aliveness of genuine connection, and discovered how revealing your in-the-moment experience can open new dimensions of being with others. This advanced session invites you to go further - into the subtle layers, the unspoken relational field, and the edges of your own awareness.

What to Expect

We’ll move beyond introductory techniques and the usual context setting and simply dive into Circling using a Shared Leadership Model. While facilitators will be holding the container, space is created for each person's leadership to come forward, deepening the possibilities of revelation. In these co-created circles, we will be:

• Honing our ability to track and articulate subtle sensations, emotions, and thoughts as they arise.
• Exploring meta‑communication—speaking directly about how we are experiencing the moment, the group dynamic, and our own patterns.
• Experimenting with “edge work,” where vulnerability meets courage, and discover what emerges when we collectively lean into the unknown.
• Reflecting on our experiences with one another to cultivate greater awareness of how we can bring aliveness into relational spaces.

There is no set format beyond sitting with each other in Circle during a 2-hour time period. We can collectively shape how we want to spend our time together based on what emerges.

Who Is This For?

This gathering is designed for participants who have experience with Circling or similar relational practices. If you’ve been to at least a few of our Circles, or one of our weekend intensives - and feel ready to deepen, refine your skills, and explore nuance - you are welcome! The content may be challenging at times; please come prepared to engage with emotional complexity and self‑responsibility.

Why Deepen Your Circling Practice?

Spending more time in Circling can reveal patterns and “shadow” aspects of relating that are less accessible in introductory sessions. By bringing awareness to your experience and sharing it in the container of the group, you may uncover deeper self‑insight, expand your capacity to be with intensity, and strengthen your ability to inhabit authenticity in daily life.

A Note on Trauma and Safety

Circling is a brave space, not a guaranteed “safe space.” It is not therapy, nor inherently trauma‑informed. The foundational agreement is that we are here to reveal our experience - not to help, heal, fix, or change one another. This can be profoundly liberating, but it can also be activating. Participants are encouraged to take responsibility for their emotional well‑being, to share honestly when activated, and to seek additional support if needed. If you have questions about whether this event is a good fit, please reach out to the organizers.

We look forward to exploring the depths of relational presence with you!
