Connection Circle ~ Boundaries: feel your truth

THEME OF THIS CIRCLE: FEEL YOUR TRUTH ⁣ Do you trust your body?

Have you ever experienced that your body is telling you it wants something that differs from what you think you want?

Have you ever noticed an in-congruency in what someone says they want from you and what you’re actually picking up from their body?

Your body is communicating with you all the time, especially when you are in connection with others.

Your body is telling you what it needs and how it wants to be met through subtle signals and sensations, that are easy to miss if you don’t listen.

By connecting with your body before you connect with others you will be able to listen and follow the truth of your body easier.

Through slowing down and bringing in mindful observation to what happens within your body as you move towards connection, you will become more aware when you operate from unconscious patterns.

This is how you bring your awareness back to the present moment, where true authentic connection can happen.

That’s what we will explore together during this circle.

ABOUT THE CONNECTION CIRCLES

Deep down we all long to feel connected: being met, seen & heard by one another beyond what separates us.

Yet somehow we all struggle with it, in our awkward and sweet humaneness.

The circles rotate between a set of themes that you can attend in whatever order you like and without having attended a circle before.

Come curious to discover different ways to meet beyond what separates us, through embodiment exercises, mindful observation, sharing and reflection.

We will use techniques and tools inspired by circling, mindfulness, authentic relating, embodied intimacy, somatic experiencing, trauma theory and yoga. All with the intention of connecting you with yourself and your body before you connect with others.

All human beings are welcome.

Every exercise is optional and you can bring a partner/friend to couple with if that makes you feel more at ease.

The event will be held in English.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING:

“Through these workshops I discovered a new way of being. I was re-introduced to feeling my body and using it as an additional tool to make more informed choices about where I really want my life to go, moment to moment. The exercises are also perfectly used outside the workshop to come closer to people in my life.” / Sotiris

”Beyond the awkwardness the whole universe opened up in the eyes right in front of me”. / Sandra, participant“

"Thank you for a beautifully held connection circle yesterday. It felt huge to be a part of and witness the authentic connections that took place under your holding of the space.I feel richer as a result from what I got to experience and I’m looking forward to the next circle”. / Mats, participant

FACILITATOR

IDA HELMERS

My biggest passion is to create safe spaces where we can open our hearts & show up as our authentic selves, through that we heal what separates us.

I hold space with integrity and an open heart, allowing myself to also show up with what is and not put on a mask that creates a wall between us.

Often I like to call myself a relational nerd, because I see relationships as a path of personal growth and mutual healing. 

This is the path I want to invite you into through these workshops: a path where we can walk each other back home.

I have spent a lot of time participating, training & assisting in the Embodied Intimacy community will start a Somatic 

Experiencing training this spring. I have a background as a Mindfulness instructor, health coach and massagetherapist as well as healing and energy work.

The last couple of years I found a passion for relational healing and somatic awareness on my own healing journey and have since then dived into teachings around trauma theory, somatic resourcing & developmental psycholgy.

GUEST FACILITATOR (that is sometimes too busy making the most delicious vegan organic ice cream in the world to facilitate)

GUNTHER NANN Gunther is very passionate about relating. After struggling with connecting to himself, and thus to others for long periods of his life, he discovered the value of embodiment practices to re-connect with his desires, fears and boundaries. Since he is feeling himself again relating went from being scary to being exciting.

When relating to others he is very curious, not only about the other person, but also about the field that is created when two or more people come together. Following his curiosity often leads him to amazing experiences in the moment, that he could have never planned for. Besides his curiosity he brings presence, trauma-awareness and an acceptance of whatever is, which gives other people permission to be themselves.

Gunther has also spent a lot of time participating, assisting and training in the Embodied Intimacy community. He has completed a SAS circling leadership training, a yoga teacher training and an insane amount of workshops in the field of trauma healing, authentic relating & tantra.
