Safety, Boundaries and Responsibility
The space​
We aim to create a well-held environment where people can explore their experience with awareness, honesty, and respect. Circling can involve vulnerability, emotional openness, and meaningful human connection. As a result, strong emotions, discomfort, or unresolved experiences may arise. We do not view these as problems to be fixed, but as natural parts of being human and opportunities for presence and growth.
Boundaries
Participants are encouraged to communicate their boundaries, needs, and limits clearly, and to respect the boundaries expressed by others. Participation in any exercise or interaction is always voluntary. You are welcome to decline, pause, or step back at any time without explanation.
​
Leaders
Our events are facilitated by experienced Circling practitioners who maintain appropriate professional boundaries and address concerns that arise during an event
​
Confidentiality and Privacy
We ask participants to treat personal stories, experiences, and information shared in the circle as confidential. Please do not share another person’s experience outside the event without their explicit permission. While we cannot control what happens outside our events, we expect everyone to honor the trust and privacy of the group.
​
Circling Is Not Therapy
Circling is a relational meditation practice, not therapy, counselling, or mental health treatment. While it can be deeply meaningful and sometimes feel therapeutic, its purpose is awareness and connection in the present moment. Participants remain responsible for their own wellbeing and for seeking professional support if needed.
