About:
Circling is a relational meditation - the art of being with - discovering and training mindful ways of relating to ourselves and others. We come into direct contact with the already-always alive dynamics that underlie relationships. Often by dropping our views and slipping deeper into the immediate experience of relationships, a doorway to a world beyond words opens, offering a taste of transcendence.
This weekend will be a journey of
“Waking up” - becoming more present, more aware
“Growing up” - turning our subjective experience into an object to look at, integrating conflicting parts by discovering and being with polarities inside of us
“Showing up” - tuning in to the collective intelligence, recognizing our choice in all situations
“Cleaning up” - empathy, listening, self-inquiry, seeing internal contradictions
This is truly where the rubber meets the road. Where mindfulness, spirituality, personal development get applied in the most human context - in relationship. Rather than falling back into small talk or habitual ways of relating, we can identify, name, and explore what's present right here in connection. As a practice, the more we circle, the more we learn how to bring this same level of presence and connection to all of our daily relationships such as our friends, family, partners, and clients.
You Will Have the Opportunity To:
Sharpen & deepen your own self-awareness (and lack thereof)
Experience what parts of you come forward in focused connection with others. Utilize other’s experiences of themselves & of you to understand your own world better.
Identify your feelings more accurately, articulate your experience and express your needs, while building connection.
Experiment with new ways of being and relating to others:
Test out new ways of relating in a closed group with experienced facilitators.
Practice responding vs reacting to life, while being authentic.
Practice becoming more grounded and comfortable in your own skin.
Cultivate connection and deeper understanding of others
Explore what it’s like to be human by bringing yourself fully into mindful connection with your fellow participants.
Connect with each other’s humanity in a unique container that goes beyond the usual conversations stemming from thoughts or opinions.
Become at ease and in harmony with current reality as it is while with others.
Deepen your skills of compassion, understanding, reflection, and wonderment.
Expand your capacity to really hear and support someone without having to “fix” them or give unsolicited advice.
