What we’re about
Michael Winnel and myself, Vicky Turner run Authentic Relating & Circling events in Brunswick Melbourne. We are passionate about sharing these tools with others and bringing people together as a community to practice.
Authentic Relating Games are facilitated exercises in practicing the skills for deep listening and authentic communication. Working with these games gives us a foundation for participation in Circling.
Circling is the profound experiential practice of being with what is in relationship. This work holds the potential for deep transformation and is an invitation to show up and be seen in ways most people have not experienced. It can be uncomfortable as it requires for us to be vulnerable. For those with a yearning to live more fully and a willingness to change, this is a potent opportunity.
Circling is a facilitated group practice where we come together to connect and know each other at the deep and fundamental level of being human. Each participant is oriented towards their own experience and invited to share what is arising, be it a thought, feeling or sensation within a group setting. The facilitators guide participants in how this looks, sharing tools and giving space for practice with a warm up games.
