In The Art of Circling® Facilitator Training, You Will…

Personally:

  • Deepen your personal growth and transformation through Circling® and being Circled (and other supporting practices) during the retreats
  • Deepen your capacity for authentic leadership
  • Introduction to parts/shadow work that will:
  • Open you to welcoming and loving the most disowned parts of yourself
  • Support you in addressing any shame and self-judgment
  • Give you skills to work with your super-ego/inner critic
  • Systematically upgrade the way you show up in your relationships:
  • Initiate courageous conversations with others
  • Be submerged in a practice and context that calls you to continually open your heart, confront your blind spots, and soften habits like criticism, judgment, and projection
  • Own your unique wisdom, style, and voice in group or individual work

Professionally (Learning and Skills Development):

  • Learn to lead Authentic Relating Games, Practices and Circling® Intro Events:
  • Practice facilitating people who are new to Circling®
  • Learn to lead gracefully with another Circler
  • Deepen your capacity to work with groups:
  • Work with any defensiveness and/or resistance that shows up
  • Skillfully track and speak the collective ‘group field’ as it evolves
  • Artfully manage projections, transference or counter-transference as they come up in Circling®
  • Deepen your skills at each stage of the Original Circling® Approach:
  • Become a Master Circler & embody the practice at a more profound level by learning to coach & mentor students in the Art of Circling® Practitioner Training
  • Learn to weave Circling® into your coaching or other professional practices
  • Develop your workshop leading and coaching skills, including:
  • Learning the art of enrollment, and how this is essential at every stage of working with people
  • Learning how to set the context and present distinctions in front of the room in a way that is relational, engaging, and moves forward the experience of the group
