The Circle

Introducing The Circle

Hello beautiful humans!

I am so excited to finally be sharing something new that has been sitting with me for a while now: The Circle.

The Circle is an 8-week virtual group for people who have already spent some time doing the work.

Maybe you've been in therapy before. Maybe you've spent years learning yourself. You can name your patterns. You understand where they come from. You have more awareness, more tools, more language for what is happening internally.

And yet, there can come a point where understanding the pattern isn't quite the same as changing how you experience it.

I've noticed this again and again in individual work.

There is only so much we can explore by talking about relationships, boundaries, vulnerability, taking up space, asking for what you need, trusting yourself, or letting yourself be seen.

Eventually, some of this work asks to be practiced in relationship with other people.

That's where The Circle comes in.


THE CIRCLE

The Circle is an intimate, 8-week group experience with just eight people, meeting virtually for 90 minutes each week.

This isn't meant to replace individual therapy, and it isn't a first introduction to therapy or a crisis-support group.

It's a space to take some of what you already know about yourself and begin experiencing it differently.

To notice what happens when you speak and someone else is there to receive it.

When you want to shrink, but stay.

When you feel something and don't immediately need to explain it away.

When you practice asking for what you need.

When you let yourself take up a little more space.

When you realize that maybe the thing you've been carrying so privately isn't actually yours to carry alone.

There will be conversation, of course — but we won't only be sitting around talking about our feelings.

Each week will include a combination of movement, mindfulness, reflection, experiential exercises, partner or small-group work, and full-circle processing.

We'll begin by arriving into the body and into the room. We'll explore the theme we're working with that week. We'll practice it together. And we'll close by noticing what each of us wants to carry forward.

The structure stays consistent so that the container can feel grounded and predictable, even as we move into deeper work.


THE FOUR ELEMENTS

Over our eight weeks together, we'll move through four elements — spending two weeks with each.

Earth — Ground
Coming back to what is actually here. Getting underneath the stories, expectations, and "shoulds" and noticing where you are right now.

Water — Flow
Learning to experience emotion as information rather than something that immediately needs to be fixed, controlled, analyzed, or pushed away.

Fire — Want
Exploring desire, anger, appetite, boundaries, will, and the part of you that knows I want. I don't want. I need. This matters to me.

Air — Speak
Finding language for what is true. Practicing expression, being heard, and carrying your voice beyond the safety of the group and back into your actual life.

The goal isn't to master any of these things in eight weeks.

It's to practice.

To experiment.

To notice yourself in relationship.

And maybe to leave with a little more capacity to live what you already know.


WHO IS THE CIRCLE FOR?

The Circle may be a good fit if you've worked with a therapist before — whether that's been with me or somewhere else — and you feel like you already have a pretty solid understanding of yourself.

You aren't necessarily looking for more insight.

You're looking for somewhere to practice.

Somewhere to be witnessed.

Somewhere to explore what happens when the work moves out of your head and into relationship.

I'm also asking everyone who joins to commit to the full eight weeks so we can create consistency and safety within the group.

If you're brand new to this kind of inner work or currently moving through an acute crisis, this probably isn't the right space for you just yet. Individual support may be a better place to begin.

And if you're reading this thinking, Okay... I think this might be for me, but I'm not totally sure — you don't need to decide from a webpage. The first step is simply a free 15-minute connection call.

We'll talk a little about where you are, what you're looking for, and what The Circle will actually feel like. We can figure out together whether this is the right room for you before you commit to anything.

I'm really excited to see what happens when we bring this work out of the individual therapy room and into community.

Come as you are. We'll practice from there.



Until next time, may you move with grace, breathe with intention, and walk in balance.

Let the soul be in harmony with the truth.

With love,

Shauna
