Closed Group
An 8-week closed Circling group practising presence, awareness and authentic connection with others.
When we slow down and bring our attention to the present moment and try to stay curious about what's actually happening, so much begins to reveal itself. Things that usually go unnoticed come into awareness - whether that's sensation, impulse, feeling, thought, image, or desire.
In a recent circle, a participant described the practice as "intimate", and that feels true for me also. It invites moving closer to and revealing one's inner world - first to ourselves and then to others if we choose to. Circling is a practice I know well, through many years of practising and leading groups, as well as through my one-to-one work with clients which underpins my practice.
I want to support people coming together to practice Circling, being with ourselves and others in what's actually happening, meeting ourselves and each other where we already are and building capacity to be with and respond to whatever happens next, the unknown…
Inspired by being in intimacy and the unknown I'm offering another closed group and I'd love for you to join. A closed container where we journey together over 8 weeks, allowing for more trust and depth to unfold between us.
If this resonates, please get in touch. We can arrange a short conversation to explore whether this group feels like the right fit for both of us:
Course cost £260 for the 8 weeks.
Facilitation and Terms of Service
This is a group practice but not group therapy and not psychotherapy. Because of my NARM background and own personal journey, I value personal choice, agency and emergent self-awareness. Participants are encouraged to stay connected to their own pace and to keep checking in with themselves throughout the practice – noticing what feels supportive, what feels like too much, and what they may need in any moment.
There's no expectation to be vulnerable or to share anything that feels too personal or emotional and you are always welcome to speak, remain silent, pause, step back and take a break, leave or ask for what you want, including asking for support. Participants are also invited to respect one another's pace and boundaries.
The intention of my Circling leadership is to support myself and people in staying present with their experience while in relationship with others, and to develop greater awareness of how they are meeting that experience. Having said that, like solo meditation, it's normal that we will all repeatedly lose presence and Circling can sometimes evoke strong emotions or reactions in people which can be difficult for them and challenging for others in the space to navigate.
If you find the prospect of this potentially destabilising or overwhelming, or if you are currently experiencing significant emotional distress or instability in your life that might be exacerbated by this type of group environment, or if you are unsure you'll be able to take care of yourself and ensure the practice works for you, then please contact me before registering…
