Frequently asked questions

What is the Original Circling® Approach?

Circling is a brand of facilitation using a communication system that includes authentic communication, deep listening, and meditative presence. It fosters mindful connection, allowing individuals to deepen self-awareness, share experiences, and build trust, understanding, and intimacy.

Do I need prior experience to attend?

Not at all! Circling sessions are open to everyone, whether you’re new to the practice or have been participating for years.

What can I expect during a Circling session?

Expect deep listening, open sharing, and authentic connection. Sessions may include guided exercises, group discussions, and relational practices.

Is it okay if I just listen and don’t speak much?

Absolutely! You are encouraged to participate at whatever level feels comfortable for you. Presence and listening are just as valuable as speaking.

What if I feel nervous or emotional during a Circling session?

That’s totally normal! A Circling session is a space to explore emotions safely. You’re welcome to share what’s coming up for you or take a step back if needed.

How is the Original Circling® Approach different from traditional meditation or group discussions?

The Original Circling® Approach is like a relational meditation—rather than sitting in silence, you’re engaging in presence with others, bringing awareness to connection, emotions, and shared experiences in real time.
