What to Expect
You are welcome. Just as you are.
At the Circle
We understand that group therapy can seem intimidating. Kelly and I both shared those feelings on our own personal journeys. That's why we've designed our circles to be comfortable, safe, secure, and fun!
​
Don't feel like sharing? That's okay! There are many ways you can benefit from this experience, even when you don't feeling like speaking yourself.
​
Need a moment to breathe and collect your thoughts? No problem. We choose gathering spaces that allow for that.
​
We are in this with you, sharing our knowledge with compassion, zero judgement, and genuine warmth.
​
It's about our collective health, wellness, evolution, and mindfulness.

When You Join Us
You will be welcomed to our chosen space with warmth and enthusiasm. We love what we do and we want to share time with you!
While the space we host our circles in may vary, we are committed to an environment that is cozy, comfortable, and has easy to access washrooms, water, tea, and coffee.
Each session will be two hours max (over three Saturdays), because we know that sharing, connection, and learning can be tiring, despite having many healing and relaxing elements.
Every Saturday will have a micro-theme, relevant to the overall theme of the particular circle.
How Each Circle Flows:
​​​
-
Expect to begin with a hello and an optional check in. Then, we will proceed with a gentle, guided meditation.
-
Light, relaxing music will be playing in the background. If anyone, at anytime, would like this music lowered or turned down, we are happy to accommodate.​
-
Next, we will begin our discussion--one that is open, caring, and safe.
-
Along the way, we will provide you with techniques you can practice at home, as well as journal prompts.
-
Break time! While water, tea, and coffee will be available, we suggest bringing a light snack.
-
At this point, we will share therapeutic learnings related to that topic.
-
We will end our time together with a grounding exercise that calms our nervous system and allows us to continue our day feeling as calm and mindful as possible.
When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.
