ABOUT THE CONNECTION CIRCLE

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.

This evening we will explore reconnection. When we loose touch with ourselves, our bodies and hearts we tend to isolate and disconnect from other humans as well. We find all the reasons why we are not worthy of connection, or at least why the other is not, and with that create a wall between us. Together we can find the way back home, to a place where we’re not separated anymore but united by our struggles as well as our celebrations.

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.

THE FACILITATORS

IDA HELMERS

Ida has a background as a Mindfulness instructor, health coach and massagetherapist as well as healing and energy work. She just completed the Embodied Intimacy Training and is deeply inspired by the community healing work she experienced there. Authenticity and inclusion are important elements in her work. She loves to create safe spaces where we can be ourselves and meet each other from there. All circles are held with a trauma informed approach.

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.
