“All that we touch, we change. All that we change, changes us.” –Octavia Butler
Circling is a form of embodied mindfulness relating in which we practice un-withheld present moment connection with self and others.
I was recently trained in a specific style of Circling called Transformational Connection, and I want to offer this practice to all of you through regular practice groups.
***You must register at the Google form link below in order to attend***
Circling is right for you, if you’d like to:
~ Build skills that create more depth, honesty, and understanding in
your relationships
~ Learn how to “get other people’s worlds” and be present with their
experience
~ Develop more empathy and acceptance across difference
~ Become more aware of the feelings and sensations in your body
~ Learn to differentiate between feelings, observations, and
thoughts/judgments
~ Expand your awareness of the present through mindfulness
~ Be known in all of your humanity, whether your experience is
glorious or very painful
~ Learn to own your own experience
The Practice Group does not involve any pair activities. We will be practicing the guiding principles with the whole group in a circle. At the beginning, we will go over the Guiding Principles as a refresher to make sure we are all on the same page. You can review those Guiding Principles here:

All Practice Group dates are $10. This allows me to generate funds so that I can eventually host these events at venues other than my home in Royal Oak, and make this practice accessible to more people in different cities, such as Detroit, Ypsi, Ann Arbor, etc.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds though. If you cannot afford the ticket price due to financial hardship, please reach out to me to request a financial aid spot:
