Led by Morgan Klein\, a seasoned facilitator\, this session offers a unique jour ney into mindful communication and authentic connection. Through Circling\ , participants will learn to stay grounded in the present moment\, observe the emotions and sensations that arise within themselves\, and share thei r inner experiences in a way that fosters openness\, responsibility\, and trust.\n\nCircling is about discovering new ways of being with others. By practicing relational mindfulness\, participants leave with powerful commu nication tools and a heightened ability to be present not only with their own emotional states but also with the experiences of others. The outcome is a sense of nourishment from the depth\, intimacy\, and realness of conn ecting with another human being.\nWhat to Expect:\nThroughout the session\ , participants will sit together in a circle\, engaging in various practic es designed to deepen connection and presence. Here’s a breakdown of the evening:\n\n Introductions: We start by going around the circle\, each p erson introducing themselves with their name\, current emotional state\, a nd intention for the evening. This sets the tone for openness and self-awa reness.\n\n\n Warm-up Exercises: These initial exercises or games help th e group settle into the experience. They are designed to either foster pre sence or introduce specific tools for communication and expression.\n\n\n Focus and Flow Circles: The core of Circling involves two primary practic es:\n\n\n Focus Circle: The group directs its attention toward one indivi dual\, maintaining curiosity and presence to explore that person’s exper ience deeply.\n\n\n Flow Circle: The group remains in collective awarenes s\, where the focus is on the dynamic between all participants\, allowing insights and connection to emerge naturally. Depending on the flow of the evening\, we may either move between these two practices or spend an exten ded time in one.\n\n\n Closing Circle: We conclude the evening with each participant sharing how they were impacted by the session and what they ar e taking away from the experience.\n\nEvent Logistics:\n\n Timing: Doors will close at 7:05 PM\, with no late entry permitted to maintain the integ rity of the space and the flow of the session. We recommend arriving early to settle in and prepare for the experience.\n\nThis is not just a gather ing but a carefully held container where participants can practice staying present with whatever arises\, whether that’s joy\, discomfort\, vulner ability\, or curiosity. It’s a rare opportunity to explore communication on a deeper level and to learn to express and receive fully in a communit y setting.\nFacilitator Bio:\nMorgan Klein is a Certified Circling Facilit ator\, Transformational Coach\, NLP Practitioner\, Certified Hypnotherapis t\, and Family &\; Systemic Constellations Facilitator.
