the great untangling

what is a deep listening circle?

A deep listening circle is a space to share what’s on your mind without interruption, judgement or advice.

Once you’ve shared, you and the rest of the group engage in an equal amount of time creatively expressing. The creative expression is a way for each member of the circle to presence their own feelings and emotions in the moment. This could be in the form scribbling, journalling, sounding, free movement, or any type of creative expression needed in the moment.

You could think of it like this… instead of commenting directly to the person who just shared, we honour the power of creativity to presence each of our own experiences in relation to what was just shared. We harness creative expression to help us move energy through our bodies and transform it.

This creative expression requires zero artistic talent. If you can string random words together on a page or jump and shake your limbs or hum or laugh or scribble like you’re three you can do this work. Raw expression is the intention here.
