Join us for an evening of Authentic Relating and Circling®, where we gather in a small group of 4-10 people to explore deep, meaningful connections. With the guidance of a facilitator, we focus on one person at a time, paying attention to what it's like to be with them in the moment. Through sharing reflections and observations, we co-explore their experience and tap into what is most true and alive for that person.
In Circling®, you'll develop practical skills to:
• Become more present and comfortable in your own skin
• Create deeper connections with others
• Tap into the power of vulnerability, making you more open and relatable
• Practice listening beyond words, connecting with the essence of others
Who is This For?
If you're craving more fulfilling relationships or want to feel more alive in your connections, this class is for you. Whether you're new to the practice or have circled before, this space is designed for anyone looking to explore deeper connections in a safe and supportive environment.
What to Expect:
The evening will include an introduction, an authentic relating exercise, and two rounds of Circling®—each about 30-35 minutes long. During the practice, we don’t give advice or try to “fix” anyone. Instead, we focus on welcoming and being present with “what is,” allowing for a deeper sense of understanding and connection.
What is a Karma Class?
This is a karma class, which means 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Food Bank of Waterloo Region. You’ll not only gain valuable relational skills but also contribute to a meaningful cause in our community.
Meet Your Facilitators:
Sylvie Béliveau came to Circling® initially to improve her communication skills but found herself deeply transformed by the practice. “Since studying Circling®, I am more confident and comfortable in my own skin, and I enjoy connecting with others at a much deeper level. I have never seen a practice more capable of increasing connection between people.”
Faisal Mahbouba started Circling® just under a year ago, drawn to it as a way to engage in more meaningful conversations. “This was definitely proven to be true, and it’s so much more. I’ve learned how to listen and communicate in ways that always deepen connection. I’ve never felt more at ease in relating to both myself and others than I do now.”
Come as you are. Get curious, connect deeply, and experience the impact of being seen for who you authentically are.
