Connection Circle Deep Dive

Deep down we all long to feel truly met, seen & heard by one another. Yet somehow many of us struggle with it, pretending that we know what we’re doing while believing that we’re the only one struggling. We isolate with our struggles and end up feeling like we´re never fully met, like noone really gets us.

If we want to feel truly met we need to start by showing up with what is. How can you meet me, if I am not fully here? We need to invite the whole wide range of being human: the not knowing how to do this, the fear of not belonging & the sweet awkwardness in between.

When we discover that we are not alone in our struggle to connect, we can be in it together and feel truly met right there.

When we are in it together we can heal together, the wounds and patterns that were created in connection can only be fully healed in connection.

When we heal together we can see that we are all just different expressions of life, each one of us a unique aspect that contributes to the whole.

When we see that we are part of the whole we can finally move beyond our own personal struggle and tap into our shared tribal wisdom - our innate ability to support each other & heal together.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Come curious to discover different ways to meet beyond what separates us through embodiment practices, conscious communication tools & heart opening sharing.

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 regardless of previous experience, gender or relationship status.

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.

SOME EYE OPENERS FROM OUR LAST DEEP DIVE:

“If I keep voiding connection it intensifies my fear of connection. Only connection can dissolve the fear of connection.”

“True connection is a full body experience, opening the doors to the mystery of life.”

“In order to move forward I need to accept where I am, one sensation at a time.”

“We all hold keys for each other and it’s our purpose to share them with each other.”

“I found out that it’s really ok to be afraid, now that I know that we can be afraid together.”

“Following my curiosity leads to a deeper connection and carries a gift for both.”

THE FACILITATORS

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. 

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.
