About this Event

Discover the transformative power of communication at Circling. This dynamic workshop delves into the nuances of effective communication and fosters deeper connections through "here and now" techniques like circling, t-group, etc. We'll explore the art of active listening, authentic expression, and genuine connection. Engage in experiential exercises designed to heighten your awareness of relational dynamics, thereby enhancing your communication skills in various contexts. Whether you're seeking to refine your communication abilities or eager to explore new relational approaches, this workshop promises an illuminating journey toward improved connections and understanding.

Ahran Lee is a 1.5 Korean American personal liberation coach, facilitator, multidisciplinary artist, and speaker based in Berkeley, California.
