Bring a lunch if you wish; there is a microwave on the premises and a nearby restaurant.The Open Circle MethodThe Open Circle Method is a personal and transformative approach that involves aspects of emotional work through shared experience. This is an unmaking methodology that emphasizes the stripping away of pretenses and defenses. It is an invitation to approach the false persona and speak to the core truth that lives in the heart of every human being.We recognize that trauma, shame, and narratives about past actions tend to falsely inform our lives in ways that often leave us feeling stuck and in the depths of despair. The Open Circle Method is a call to challenge our false assumptions about who and what we are in a way that allows for us to be supported and witnessed by others in a group setting.This work isn’t simply about emotional venting, this approach encourages participants to engage with curiosity, courage, rigorous self-examination, and accountability to who they have been, and who they are now. Open Circles are designed to create a safe, structured container where each participant can process their deep-seated trauma, anger, pain, grief, and fear in a non-violent and emotionally open way.We are dedicated to helping you rediscover your humanity, to find a fresh sense of purpose, and to commit fully to your life. You are invited to enter the Open Circle with the sacred intention to engage in radical vulnerability and honesty.The Open Circle is never broken because it is always open.FacilitatorJosh PutnamJosh Putnam is a spiritual teacher specializing as a Non-Dual Awakening Facilitator, utilizing many modalities and guiding individuals to realize their true nature beyond the sense of a separate self.His unique background includes over 25 years as a teacher, which developed his skills in direct, clear, personalized guidance and communication.Josh facilitates retreats and group shadow work events and has held over 3000 one-on-one sessions.

We create warm, grounded spaces where individuals can show up honestly, be deeply seen, and connect through curiosity and shared presence. Through this practice, members strengthen their self-awareness, grow their capacity to express themselves, and build meaningful, nourishing relationships. It’s a place to slow down, listen closely, and experience connection in a way that feels real and alive.www.vancouvercircling.comAgenda?: 06:00 PM - 09:00 PMFriday: Introductions and Context Setting?: 09:00 AM - 09:00 PMSaturday: Open Circle?: 09:00 AM - 05:00 PMSunday: IntegrationUntitled agenda?: 09:00 AM - 09:00 PMSaturday: Group Process - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/vancouver/the-open-circle-method-a-weekend-of-deep-shadow-work/100001991103018728 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, meditation, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 23 hours - Location: 610 Pipeline Rd - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 321.44, max: 428.12, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Vancouver - **state**: BC - **country**: Canada - **location**: 610 Pipeline Rd - **lat**: 49.2997551 - **long**: -123.1338915 - **full address**: 610 Pipeline Rd, 610 Pipeline Road, Vancouver, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Open Circle Method: A Weekend of Deep Shadow Work - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/46d6e009bd2e0133cc55e2d4902fd4d6021400778f202d33b3e0101e73a29252-rimg-w1200-h600-dc171411-gmir.jpg?v=1782033376 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Open Circle Method: A Weekend of Deep Shadow Work being held? - **A:** The Open Circle Method: A Weekend of Deep Shadow Work takes place on Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sun, 16 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm at 610 Pipeline Rd, 610 Pipeline Road, Vancouver, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Open Circle Method: A Weekend of Deep Shadow Work? - **A:** The Open Circle Method: A Weekend of Deep Shadow Work is organized by Amber Circle Events. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
