Calm Circles: Navigating Conflict (31 March 2026)

Theme: Navigating Conflict

In this Calm Circles session, we’ll explore some foundations around navigating conflict.

Life is full of friction, whether you have a misunderstanding with a neighbour to a disagreement with a co-worker. Most of us react out of fear or a need for control, often falling into unproductive patterns that leave us feeling drained. We’re breaking down why we get defensive and how to flip the script on "drama" to create healthier, happier relationships in every area of your life.

Expect to:

• Experience personal connection with the Calm Collective community
• Share your thoughts and feelings in a safe, no-judgement zone (everyone is welcome)
• Learn from each other's experiences
• Deepen your listening and empathy skills

* Disclaimer: Calm Circles are not a replacement for any existing or ongoing therapy or any professional mental health care.

Hear from our past participants:

“Calm Circles is a great space for people who need the human touch to come and connect, especially during this time when we need to be kind to ourselves and each other.”

“I was also very encouraged and pleasantly surprised at what an authentic and respectful conversation about feelings we can have with strangers in an Asian context.”

“I liked that it was an open and affirming space! It allowed everyone to share some things in their personal life that they recognised as points of pain and learning. The sharing also made it such a precious space of growth.”

Late arrival policy:

We kindly request all participants to arrive on time for the session, as late arrivals may disrupt any ongoing discussions. If you will be more than 20 minutes late, we suggest attending the next scheduled Calm Circles to ensure that you get the most out of the session without causing any inconvenience.
