Join us for an online heart to heart events where we connect through empathy and unconditional acceptance and build inner resilience and strength.
A virtual gathering of women to explore, share, connect and grow.
If you are feeling numb, frustrated, alone, afraid, hopeful, desirous or curious, all these feelings have a place in our circle.
This online Heart Circle will allow you to feel listened to, accepted and cared about.
The Heart Circle provides participants an opportunity to share from the heart to a supportive host and a group of supportive listeners, who give space without feedback or advice. There is no helping or attempts to fix, just a safe and confidential space for authentic communication. Talking is not a requirement. Creative sharing of music, song, art, poems etc. are also welcome. Show up in the form you are most comfortable with.
The Native American tribal tradition of Talking Circles, or Healing Circles, dates back centuries. The active listening and unconditional acceptance creates a safe space where people can be truly heard, this has incredible healing effects. This model has been tested in the clinical therapeutic environment with great success and multiple studies verify the long-term positive effects. Benefits include stress reduction, greater motivation, resiliency, self acceptance and more.
The overall theme of our heart circles is an exploration of stepping into our authentic selves.
