Touch, Affection & Attunement
An Original Circling® Approach & Healing Immersion
NOTE: The Dates above are just a place-holder. We will reschedule once the pandemic is over and we can meet in person.
Have you NOTICED how...
- the more connected we are via technology, the more distant we become personally?
- we've been taught to fear the types of love and warmth we most naturally crave?
Do you BELIEVE
- we are here to touch each other's hearts & hold each others dreams?
- life is just better when we can fully love and be loved?
What IF?
- you could feel at ease & safe in your body, while having richer, open-hearted connections than you've previously allowed?
- you could learn to attract and attune to the people who want what you want?
- you had more confidence and elegance in your YES and NO?
- you could grow beyond your limits of intimacy
Some of what you might EXPERIENCE this weekend:
- be listened to, seen and gotten like you've never been gotten before.
- more comfort with our natural needs for touch & affection
- attunement to boundaries, space, closeness
- hugging (it's been known to happen :)
- sharing affection with full aliveness and without agendas (dating, pick-up, sexual, etc.)
- learn how vulnerability, transparency, permeability and “owning your experience” helps melt tension and anxiety in any interaction.
Join us for a weekend of authentic relating, practicing profoundly unique skills like getting someone's world (deep empathy), sharing impact (honesty and vulnerability), and speaking the moment (courage, insight, shared reality, making connection more important than content). At the same time, we will integrate safety and permission around touch into the what we practice with The Original Circling Approach.
This work has been powerful and deeply nourishing for me and I'd love to share it with you. I’ve never seen a practice more adept at melting the distance between two hearts.
~ Jon Cotton
We believe this is a practice that can change the way the world relates. But it starts with you! Join us and see for yourself what possibilities emerge.

Please NOTE:
If you have extensive active trauma around touch or extreme fear or boundary issues around the topic of touch, this is probably not the ideal workshop to start with. Check out our Sovereign weekend. Although, touch will be in safe container, it will be encouraged.
Also, this will not be a place for any sexual touch or to seek dating partners.
What does a Circle look like?
A group of 4-10 people sit in a circle and put their attention primarily on one person, and, with the help of a facilitator, notice what it's like being with this person moment by moment, share impact and observations, and co-explore what that person’s experience and world is like, essentially getting into deep relationship with what is most true and alive for that person.
The principle is simple in essence but the practice in full expression is radical and rare. We experience “being seen” for who we authentically are without limits, one of the most rewarding experiences we can have as human beings, and the Circling method teaches us exactly how to see and celebrate each person for the unique flavor they bring to the world.
We don’t give advice or try to fix anyone, which can so easily backfire. Rather, we welcome and stay with “what is”, so we can relax into the truth of our experience, feel supported, know we are not alone and allow the experience of this to deepen and more sustainably transform us. The results are often magical.
“Circling practice is to get in a deep relationship with what is.”
- Guy Sengstock, Founder of the Circling method
