-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The local and Scandinavian Circling and Authentic Relating community is growing and invites newcomers as well as peers from nearby practices. In celebration of this, we welcome you to a festive event in the spirit of creating more connection with yourself and others. We belive that a deeper relational capacity not only leads to a richer life, but also is key if we wish to meet the world and our challenges in all its complexity. You're warmly welcomed to connect, explore, dance, feel into, co-create, touch or play! The intention for this festival is to support our transformation to become more awake, more connected, and able to step into leadership of our lives.We'll offer you facilitated workshops during daytime. Most of the workshops will be relational and focus on the here-and-now quality of what's taking place between you and others. They will be guided by experienced facilitators from a range of practices. Some will invite creative expressions, and many include an embodied focus to connect with your body as a way to get more grounded and feel yourself more fully. In the evenings there is space for informal hang out, singing, dancing & massage jams. Or why not a football game out on the field? There's a nice garden, sauna, and plenty of indoor and outdoor areas for activities.

• Morning practice and opportunity to tailor your experience by choosing from a range of different workshops.
• Opportunities to step in and co-create
• 3 vegetarian/vegan meals a day + snacks served.
• Space in a shared bedroom (2-3 persons per room). If you'd prefer to bring a tent to sleep in, you're welcome to.
• Alcohol and drug-free
• An atmosphere that invites us to stretch and expand into our full selves, and the beauty of our whole range of experience; feeling free and connected, playful yet serious, wild but also calm.
• Heads up! ;) Due to an unexpected circumstance we need to collect more mattresses for the accommodation and want to reach out to all participants who might be able to bring their own mattress and maybe even extra to lend to another participant. We will contact you more about this later.

The festival is part of a wider initiative Nära - a place in Malmö dedicated to relational exploration.

Nära is a Swedish word that means near or close, as in near to our heart our being close together. It simultaneosly means to nourish, as in nourishing ourselves and our connections.
