✨What we’ll explore:

Meditation – Inspired by non-dual inquiry and the works of Rupert Spira and Angelo Dilulo
Transformational Connection (Circling) – Meeting each other in deep authenticity and presence
Surrendered Leadership – An unstructured group practice where presence and surrender meet self-leadership and supportive boundaries
Circling into Aliveness – Practices inviting us to consciously embody our shadow our light. This will include encounters, “finger pointing” and more
Dream-Spotting – Stemless and Byron Katie's work inspired practices aiming at identifying and releasing assumptions and inner narratives
Nonverbal Circling & Mindful Touch – Deepening awareness beyond words
And more

✨Why come?

This programme is here to help you:

Grow Up – Develop emotional and relational maturity
Wake Up – Move beyond identification with thoughts and recognise deeper awareness
Clean Up – Meet and integrate the parts of yourself you’ve pushed away
Show Up – Bring your full self into life and connection

✨Who it’s for?

This evening is designed for those with some prior experience in Circling, meditation, or similar awareness-based practices.

While this work can be deeply transformative, it is not therapy. At times, the experience may stir resistance, fear, or a sense of disorientation as we move beyond familiar mental and emotional territory. For this reason, it may not be the right space if you're currently navigating significant mental health challenges.

If you're unsure whether this is for you, please feel free to reach out via phone at 07414 294 431 or email at [email protected] - I’d be happy to connect.

✨Who am I?

I am Emilija Bykov-Brett. My fascination with the human mind began in my early teens, leading me to explore psychology, meditation, spirituality, and communication through various modalities. When I discovered Circling in 2019, I was immediately drawn to its blend of presence, authenticity, and aliveness. Over the past five years, I've immersed myself in the practice, becoming a certified facilitator through Circling Europe (now called Transformational Connection) and leading events for the past two years. Circling has empowered me with greater agency and courage in my relationships, unlocking ever-widening and more colourful expressions of self, while deepening my capacity for empathy and understanding toward others. I'm excited to share its transformative potential with you.

✨ Participant Feedback

“It was like stepping into the inner parts of my mind and seeing it reflected in everyone around me. It was confronting, exciting and deeply transformational.” - D
“It was like one by one peeling back the layers of what keeps me/us in slavery to the conditioned mind and the usual ways of viewing each other and reality. It was at times painful, but ultimately liberating. Emilija holds the space with confidence, clarity and curiosity, and brings a playfulness and enthusiasm that catches like wildfire!” - A
“What I love most about Emi's way of facilitating is how she models vulnerability, courage, and transparency for me and helps me experience the beauty, joy, and heartbreak, and everything in-between, with gentle curiosity and with an open heart.” - J
