Connection Circle ~ Relearning relationships

THEME OF THE CIRCLE

This circle we will explore how we can let our relationships become a place for healing instead of hurting when we relearn how to relate authentically.

All of our relationships, not just the romantic ones, are based on relational patterns that we develop in early childhood. That is why we often date the same type of person over and over again, or end up in similar painful situations in relationships to our friends and coworkers. 

We relate the way we know how to because we never learnt that we have a choice to do it differently.

During this circle we will look at the basic human survival mechanisms behind these patterns and how they play out in our adult relationships. Through bringing awareness to these patterns we can begin to shift them and choose new healthy patterns. This is how we can heal in relationship.

You will learn communication tools and embodiment practices that you can integrate in all of your relationships, to see every encounter as an invitation for relational healing.

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.

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.
