Come play, experience & integrate practical skills to: -Create deep, intimate connections -Transform ordinary surface conversations into juicy, heart opening, enlightening explorations for personal insights & healing -Become more present & comfortable in your own skin -Uncover our “relational blind spots” where we push away the depth of connection & intimacy that’s possible -Practice listening to the essence of someone’s soul -“Get someone’s world” like a mind reader -Tap into the power of your vulnerability that has you more lovable -Be understood, appreciated & celebrated for the essence of who you are -Create more love, connection & community Join us for an evening of authentic relating, practicing profoundly unique skills like getting someone's world (deep empathy), sharing impact (honesty & vulnerability), and speaking the moment (courage, insight, shared reality, making connection more important than content). This work has been powerful and deeply nourishing for me and I'd love to share it with you. I’ve never seen a practice more adept at melting the distance between two hearts. \~ Jon Cotton What does a Circle look like in terms of format, with the Original Circling Approach? A group of 4-10 people sit in a circle & put their attention primarily on one person, and, with the help of a facilitator, notice what it's like being with this person moment by moment, share impact & observations, and co-explore what that person’s experience and world is like, essentially getting into deep relationship with what is most true & alive for that person. A typical evening includes introductions, an exercise to practice authentic relating & 2 rounds of circling - each approximately 30 minutes in length. The experience of “being seen” for who we authentically are is one of the most rewarding experiences we can have as human beings, and the Original Circling Approach teaches us how to see & celebrate each person for the unique flavor they bring to the world. We don’t give advice or try to fix anyone. Rather, we welcome and stay with “what is”, so we can relax into the truth of our experience, feel supported & know we are not alone. “Circling practice is to get in a deep relationship with what is.” * Guy Sengstock, Founder of The Original Circling Approach For deeper understanding, see 6 Things the Circling Practice Does Really Well… http://www.circlinginstitute.com/what-is-original-circling-approach/ **REGISTRATION:** Advanced registration and $30 payment required (Our last event sold out a week ahead of time).

After an hour of easy conversations, you will team up with the folks you bonded with most, form a small crew, and head out into the vibrant streets for warm dim sum, skewered bites, and boba. The Plan: - 6:30PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. - 6:40PM - 7:45PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. We'll find out who shares your go-to boba order, favorite street eats, and Friday night energy. - 7:45PM+: Form Groups & head out into the market together to grab street bites and boba. You'll reconnect with your favorite matches, form a small group of 4-6, and head right out into the market together to hunt down the best street bites and boba. It is the easiest, warmest introduction to the city's food scene, and you can stay in touch with your crew directly in the app to plan your next San Francisco adventures. Bring a light layer and a hearty appetite—I cannot wait to show you around and share some great food tonight. 🏮 Chinatown Food Crawl Challenge Your crew has one mission: eat your way through the Night Market together.
