Circling

Circling is a relational practice, part of Authentic Relating. I offer this one on one as coaching, and group facilitation, a type of group entity coaching. If you are interested, contact me here. I really love working with smaller groups who are curious about communication and relating. How we communicate is the glue and the frame of how we move as a group. It has an impact on the group dynamics and how we creatively use the free energy of conflict and turn it into growth. In one on one sessions we go deeper into your personal patterns, inner conflicts that stop you, and turn them into integrated flow.

In circling we practice being present with our own and other’s experience. We notice what is happening between us as it is happening. This means that when we are in the practice, we spend very little time analyzing or making stories about what or why something is happening, but we are rather focused on how the experience is. We use both Centering, Focusing and NVC as parts of our toolkit to continuously explore how we make the present moment and what choices exist in there.

If you don’t have a reference already, it can be hard to imagine what this is like. Here is another way to think of it: You have a conversation about something, a topic. Then you remove the topic, the informational level, and look at all the other transactions that are being made underneath: Sensations, gestures, emotions, jiving in different states of mind. When you’re on this level of conversation, the structure of what is moving us gets revealed, and we can now start to change it.
