This work has been powerful and deeply nourishing for me and I'd love to share it with you. I’ve never seen a practice more adept at melting the distance between two hearts. ~ Jon Cotton What does a Circle look like in terms of format, with the Original Circling Approach? A group of 4-10 people sit in a circle and put their attention primarily on one person, and, with the help of a facilitator, notice what it's like being with this person moment by moment, share impact and observations, and co-explore what that person’s experience and world is like, essentially getting into deep relationship with what is most true and alive for that person. A typical evening includes introductions, an exercise to practice authentic relating and 2 rounds of circles - each approximately 30-35 minutes in length. The experience of “being seen” for who we authentically are is one of the most rewarding experiences we can have as human beings, and what we practice in the Original Circling Approach teaches us exactly that­, how to see and celebrate each person for the unique flavor they bring to the world. We don’t give advice or try to fix anyone. Rather, we welcome and stay with “what is”, so we can relax into the truth of our experience, feel supported and know we are not alone. “Circling practice is to get in a deep relationship with what is.” - Guy Sengstock, Founder of The Original Circling Approach For deeper understanding, check out 6 Things the Practice of Circling Does Really Well… http://www.circlinginstitute.com/what-is-original-circling-approach/ ************************************************************ REGISTRATION: Advanced registration: $30 payment required at least 30 minutes before event begins Address provided upon registration Register here: https://buytickets.at/thecirclinginsitute For more information, contact us at info@circlinginstitute.com ************************************************************ Your Facilitators: Guy Sengstock, Jon Cotton and/or Guest Facilitators Together, they are not afraid to lead with their own humanity, vulnerability and humor to keep it real.
