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

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 defenses slowing melt away.

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

As your 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 common place when sitting in circle.

It's a common thought, "what am I going to talk about?"

In a busy world with people continually running their own agenda's, even those close to you look to manipulate your to meet their own 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 to express your deepest emotions in a safe space, you notice deeply repressed sensations and memories that you were otherwise unaware.
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.

"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 afterward. I'm grateful."
Adarsh

“I found the circling sessions to be a worthwhile journey into aspects of myself that are less seen, I felt a vulnerability in and an openness express myself without judgement from the other participants. Damian facilitated the group really well and he allowed everyone to share equally by staying focused on the process of circling. Thanks Damian I will be at the next one.”
