Foundations of Yin Circling
& 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.

FAQs
Will Sessions Be Recorded?
Yes, sessions will be recorded, including the circles. They will be recorded on speaker view and group view. They will be available for review for up to two weeks after the session date. Ali may choose to take certain moments for marketing or for teaching purposes. She will use her discretion and will get permission if there is anything particularily vulnerable or edgy that she wants to share.
Are there payment plans or scholarships?
At this time we don't have scholarships, but we do have payment plans and work-trades available. Reach out and share what your circumstances are. Please include how many payments you'd like to divide your fee into.
What if I have to miss a session?
That's okay!
What if this opens up something I wasn't ready for?
By stepping into this container, you are committing to your own emotional/mental integrity.
The depth if emotion that arises will be co-created and co-regulted by the group. Emotion is likely, but who knows! Sometimes "nothing" happens and being with nothing is good practice, too!
*All participants should feel comfortable witnessing and experiencing emotional expression and have the ability to hold themselves in what arises, outside the class (and/or have emotional support systems to lean on).
*All participants will be held and supported in a gentle and loving way by the facilitators and other attendees. An ongoing group chat in telegram or whatsapp will be available for attendees to connect between sessions.
*If you know you have unresolved traumas,*that could overwhelm you and send you into dysregulation*, this group is NOT for you. While Ali has years and years of experience in supporting women and men through difficulty, we are not trauma therapists and this group is NOT a trauma focused group.
If you are not sure if this group is right for you, please write us and let us know what you're navigating. We want this to feel like a full-body YES for all involved.
What age is this for?
30 years-80 years
