What is Circling?

Circling is a relational meditation. It is a communication art that enables the experience of a deeper connection. Most of us move through life relating to our ideas about people rather than our direct experience of them. We assume, interpret, analyse, advise, defend, persuade, and react. Much of this happens automatically and outside our awareness. Circling is an invitation to slow down and notice what is actually happening right now.

 

Exploring:

• What am I experiencing in my body?

• What emotions are present?

• What thoughts, assumptions, and stories am I creating?

• What impact is this person having on me?

• What happens when I become curious about their experience rather than my interpretation of it?​
