𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 (𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱), imagine sitting in a small group of (5) people and expressing your deepest and most heartfelt emotions, struggles, aspirations, and sensations, where there is no:-

• 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
• 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞
• 𝐍𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐱 𝐲𝐨𝐮

(Each event is limited to 5 participants only)

In 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 (𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱) when being Circled you are listened to deeply on:

1. A specific challenge, or
2. What is going on for you in that moment

Those that are supporting you in the Circle give you their undivided attention.

They support you to go deeper into your experience by:

• 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠’𝐬 – 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐱 𝐲𝐨𝐮
• 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 – 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
• 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲.

In the safe container created in 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 (𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱), your psychological defences slowly melt away.

For the first time, you are free to give voice to those unspoken words that have been on repeat in your mind for many years.

As you deepen into your experience the mind becomes still.

Allowing insights to take place. This can come from well spring of your inner wisdom.

Or from making new connections from existing knowledge – that is new perspectives are made on old problems.

Those ‘A-ha’ moments are commonplace when sitting in a circle.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲

It’s a common thought, “What am I going to talk about?”

In a busy world with people continually running their agendas, even those close to you look to manipulate you to meet their ends.

When you are finally given space to express yourself. You will find your words will flow with no interruption.

You will have the experience of a weight being lifted from your shoulders.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞?

It’s based on the principles of Circling.

You will sit in a circle with 5 others. One person will be the focus of the circle.

You can start by either:

• 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡.
• 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬, 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Those supporting you in the circle will provide non-judgemental observations on how your sharing affects them. Also, they may explore your inner landscape with empathetic listening and inquiry. They are seeking to know and experience what is it like to be you.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐠𝐞𝐭?

In circling, you realize life-negating and limiting patterns in the present moment (on your own), gaining a deeper understanding of how these patterns have tied you to past distress.

Paradoxically, by acknowledging and accepting these patterns, you can release internal psychological and physical energy. This process ultimately leads to a natural, genuine, and unrestricted flow of energy, opening up new possibilities and choices.

When you feel safe expressing your deepest emotions in a safe space, you notice deeply repressed sensations and memories you were otherwise unaware of.

You can finally see those sub-personalities you have built over the years that have been used to protect and hide your shame and hurt.

By dropping away parts that are not you and expressing your deep inner sadness, your inner joy will shine through.

Are you seeking deeper connections, not just with others, but with your very own self?

Do you yearn for a safe space to explore your emotions, challenge your perceptions, and grow into the best version of yourself?

If so, the universe has aligned to bring you here, to the doorstep of a transformative journey.

Circling goes beyond conventional group therapies or coaching sessions.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴?

It’s not just a group activity, but an engaging journey of profound self-discovery and deep interpersonal connection.

Sitting in a circle with a group of people who are:

* Solely interested in knowing what it is like to be you.
* Only focused on listening and understanding your struggles, traumas, and also your moments of insight.

Sitting in a group of people who are there to support you in delving deep inside yourself. Giving non-judgemental observations and feedback on how you express yourself and how you are seen.

The listeners give observations and feedback when you are being circled based on:

* 𝐄𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲.
* 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Those participants sitting in the circle give you responses in a specific tone and nature, that of:

* 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲
* 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲
* 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬
* 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐈𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬

The guidelines given on responses to the person being circled are:

* 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—No intention to change the person being circled.
* 𝐍𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞—No coaching is given on how another should act.
* 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥—The person being circled is free to explore their inner world in any direction and depth as they desire.

We see the person being circled as being whole and complete as they are.

Experience the Power of the Circle

In the realm of the circle, you’re seen, heard, and acknowledged like never before.

You’re allowed to explore your feelings, thoughts, and relationships in an atmosphere of mutual respect and empathy.

It’s in this magic circle where we peel back layers, unmasking the authentic you hiding underneath.

Circling helps you:

1. Gain profound self-awareness and clarity
2. Develop deep, meaningful connections with others
3. Enhance your communication and relational skills
4. Foster empathy, understanding, and compassion
5. Unleash your emotional intelligence
6. Journey towards personal growth and transformation

Circling isn’t about fixing, advising, or changing you.

It’s about accepting and celebrating who you are in the present moment, as well as who you might become in the future.

Sitting in a Circle provides a platform that empowers you to dive deep into your emotional landscape, giving voice to your innermost feelings and thoughts, all while surrounded by a supportive community.

Step into the Circle – Your Transformation Awaits

Ready to embrace this unique opportunity?

Imagine standing at the threshold of a door that leads to a world filled with empathy, understanding, self-discovery, and profound human connection. That door is open. All you have to do is step through.

Your journey to self-discovery need not be a solitary one.

When you are sitting in the Circle, you will be surrounded by like-minded individuals, all sharing the commitment to explore their deepest selves.

Dare to step into the circle. Dare to unlock your potential. This isn’t just an invitation, it’s a call to the journey of a lifetime, a journey to the heart of what it means to be human. You have the power to transform your life, one circle at a time.

Discover. Connect. Transform.

“I’ve discovered circling is a wonderful technique to experience authentic connection in a meaningful way and joy in being able to help others also. I felt safe, supported, and heard in the workshop group. I thoroughly recommend Damian’s circling workshops if you’d like to try this kind of counselling.” Robyn

“Damian created a great setting for me to openly express myself. I felt a lot of love for myself and the world around me afterwards. I’m grateful.” Adarsh

When you feel safe expressing your deepest emotions in a safe space, you notice deeply repressed sensations and memories you were otherwise unaware of.

Through receiving soft and slow feedback from your supportive circle, you have your own realizations by making connections between past destructive behaviours and unconscious mental constructs.
You can finally see those sub-personalities you have built over the years that have been used to protect and hide your shame and hurt.

By dropping away parts that are not you and expressing your deep inner sadness, your deep inner joy will shine through.

The path of self-knowledge and understanding of who you are is a path of subtraction.
