Circling for BIPOC Homies is a powerful space for connection, healing, and empowerment that’s just for us. Circling is a relational mindfulness practice where a group of people sit in a circle and gather to have free flowing conversation. Guided by facilitator Ahran Lee, we foster connection, aliveness, and awareness in every circle through deep listening and present-oriented communication. Some of the benefits of a Circling practice includes:
Conflict repair skills
Accessing empathy
Cultivating self awareness
Increasing social-relational intelligence
Developing full body listening
Practicing vulnerability
Honing authentic expression
Increasing body awareness
Practicing mindfulness
Learning how to ask and receive
