European-style Circling – An afternoon of authentic connection (8 People max)
Discover deep connection to yourself and others through the European Circling practices of Transformational Connection and Surrendered Leadership.
We will use activities in present-moment relational awareness to build bridges of true connection between our inner worlds, and support you to:
• Find and honour your authenticity by attuning to your embodied experience
• Relate with wholeness and integrity
• Gain insight into relational patterns and habits
• Be the author of your experience, aligned with your wants and needs.
Through guided paired and group interactions, participants practice presence, honest expression, and deep listening. Using self- and relational-awareness activities, you will be invited to share your authentic experience as it unfolds in real time, fostering deep individual and collective attunement. We will build to a whole-group "Surrendered Leadership" practice. In this practice you can discover your agency to be your true self by an act of surrender. Let go of your relational expectations, and instead, honor your truth and follow your aliveness.
***To support depth and quality of relating, this is an intentionally small group, LIMITED TO 8 PARTICIPANTS.***
Open to adults who are curious about or experienced in Circling and other relational practices, as well as anyone interested in deepening their capacity for connection and self-awareness. This practice is related to, but distinct from, Authentic Relating, and often resonates with those familiar with that space, though no prior experience is needed.
This is a facilitated relational practice and not therapy or clinical treatment.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
Jono facilitates relational practices that support authentic expression, presence, and meaningful human connection.
He certified as a Transformational Connection Leader after completing a 6-month facilitation training in Amsterdam with the Transformational Connection organisation, formerly Circling Europe. He has also completed their post-certification training in Surrendered Leadership facilitation, in Sweden, and is undertaking their Mastery Series in Connection Intelligence.
Jono also has experience in Authentic Relating, including the Foundations training with ART International, and has recently commenced training in Gestalt therapy, a relational-therapy approach to psychotherapy, which uses present-moment connection to build awareness and one's capacity to hold complexity.
His facilitation is informed by participation in long-form relational group spaces and experience facilitating Circling within established community settings.
