Community Circle

In life, our bodies, hearts and minds are on the line. And when we’re caught up in the chaos, we don’t always get the opportunity to process the human side.

This Community Circle is an opportunity to do just that! It’s an invitation to come back to ground zero: your body and your body in relationship to other bodies. It’s a chance to feel. To breathe again. To soften.

And this month we'll explore the theme Practising New Futures.

- What new visions are you seeing in the boundaries of your reality?
- What wants to blossom in your life and what are you putting your imagination in service to?
- What is the inner work required to give birth to new futures?

Think of it as an experiment in pop-up community, a lab to explore what it’s like to be you.

In a spirit of curiosity, presence and play, different possibilities emerge in the way we relate to others individually, and collectively.

Moving beyond automatic and social level 'acting', we’re able to meet each other from a place of 'living' that is much more connected, profound and inspired.

Through connection games, improvisation, movement and authentic relating, we'll get just a little bit closer to...your truth.

What participants have said:

“I’m normally quite shy when I meet new people, at parties and social events, but here I was able to drop in and open up really quickly” - Santo

“I think the world needs more spaces like this! I loved that I could just come here and be myself and express myself” – Emily

About the organiser:
Sasha is interested in the stories we tell and how they shape our lives. For over 12+ years, he’s explored intentional communities, somatics & group dynamics. Sasha facilitates groups through processes that enable connection to self, other and community. He’s interested in what wants to emerge when people come together, what conditions are needed for that emergence, and how we all play a part in allowing new stories to unfold.

This is for you if
- You're interested in getting below the surface level of 'normal' social interaction
