    & Relational Inquiry

    Level 1

  • What is Circling and Relational Inqiury?

    Circling is a dedicated practice of people to getting together to explore their truths, have new realizations about themselves, and support others in doing the same.

    Highly advanced circling can have a psychoactive effect, often echoing the intensity and beauty of medicine journies or peak-experiences in meditation.

    In order to develop the skills, capacities, and frameworks to get to that level, we have to practice. That practice comes in the form of Relational Inquiry.

    Why is Circling and Relational Inquiry Helpful for Emotional Development?

    Circling can be seen as a "next step" in personal emotional processing, as it weaves the need to learn how to listen deeply to others, and yourself. It helps you discover themes or reveal parts of yourself, that you didn't even know you wanted to experience. It can be a practice in inviting in, loving, and being with the parts of yourself, and others, that are often rejected.

    "Relational Inquiry" describes the practice and skillsets of getting to know someone. It's foundational to the practice of "Circling."

    Challenges

    As we lean into honoring, accepting, and exploring people's truths... we'll eventually find two truths that don't fully align! This is where curiosity, patience, listening, good intentions, and self-awareness become the amazing tools that we will rely on to carry ourselves through.

    All Circles are co-created. They are deeply influenced by the life-experience, vulnerability, self-awarness, and courage of the people present.

    Circling is powerful. It's boring. It's a practice. It requires skill. It requires good intentions and long-term commitment. It's spirtual. It's energtic. It's a lot of things.

    You should join if you're interested in going for the ride.
