Circling is a form of embodied mindfulness relating in which we practice un-withheld present moment connection with self and others. In this practice, we try to answer the questions: “What is it like to be me right now?" "What is it like to be you?" "What is it like to be with each other right now?”

I was recently trained in a specific style of Circling called Transformational Connection, and I want to offer this practice to all of you through an Introduction to Circling workshop.

Circling is right for you, if you’d like to:
- Build skills that create more depth, honesty, and understanding in
your relationships
- Learn how to “get other people’s worlds” and be present with their
experience
- Develop more empathy and acceptance across difference
- Become more aware of the feelings and sensations in your body
- Learn to differentiate between feelings, observations, and
thoughts/judgments
- Expand your awareness of the present through mindfulness
- Be known in all of your humanity, whether your experience is
glorious or very painful
- Learn to own your own experience

During this 3-hour introduction, you’ll receive instruction and coaching in Circling, as well as practice of the guiding principles through pair activities and an hour long group circle.
This introductory workshop is required for you to attend any future Circling Practice groups that I hold.
There are several Guiding Principles of Circling that help us stay in embodied presence, which you can read about all of here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VvaKloIni1tgsYOed5l4Zo3e66wtS1uJqZvJ8ISgWIM/edit?usp=sharing
Learn more about Circling from this short video:

From The Circling Guide:
“It involves meeting you exactly as you are in each present moment. We hold whatever arises—both in you and in ourselves—with a degree of wonder.”
“We attempt to understand what it’s like to be in another person’s skin, while simultaneously being true to ourselves. It’s about seeing people for who they really are and ‘getting their world.’”
