What is circle?
Circle is a space where people come together in a thoughtfully created space that has been curated with the intention that everyone who comes feels seen, heard, held and witnessed on their journeys through life.
It is a space free of expectation, judgement, pressure, problem solving and advice giving. It is a space where everyone who comes does so on an equal footing; there is no hierarchy or authority (although there is a facilitator). It is a space where you show up exactly as you are in all of life’s joys, messiness and everything inbetween.
It is a space for you to share uncensored your thoughts, feelings, emotions and opinions. You are actively listened to without interuption, problem solving, advice giving or judgement.

What to expect at circle
Circle is a facilitated event by a trained Circle Facilitator who is competent to hold an accountable space for you. Circles will differ in their content each time dependent on theme, time of year, season or sabbat.
They will follow a similar format; Welcome and settle into space, grounding practice/exercise (breath awareness/short body scan/meditation), guidelines for circle, introductions and a brief share as to how you feel, theme for the circle, listening partnership, journaling, share to group, grounding practice/relaxation/yoga nidra/guided meditation, close. Each Circle will be different and different elements such as singing, crafting and ritual and ceremony may be brought in as and when felt appropriate.
