Transformational Circle
Being witnessed as we ‘glow through’ and ‘glow up’ is an important part of healing. Witnessing and offering deep listening to other is also an honouring experience
and a rich part of our maturing consciousness as humans.
One Love Circles are a safe and sacred environment to connect, share
and empower our self and other.
A rich seam of collective consciousness heals when we acknowledge ourselves in companionship.
The circle will run for approx. 90-120 mins, allowing rest with some acu pins and a cup of tea afterward.
Offering $100.
You will be better for it.

An influential study published in 2000 by Shelly E. Taylor, Ph.D. and a distinguished professor in the department of psychology at UCLA, found out that females were more likely to deal with stress by "tending and befriending" -- that is, nurturing those around them and reaching out to others. This is different from the classical “fight or flight” theory we all know. "Tending involves nurturant activities designed to protect the self and offspring that promote safety and reduce distress; befriending is the creation and maintenance of social networks that may aid in this process," write researchers.
Females were more likely to deal with stress by "tending and befriending" -- that is, nurturing those around them and reaching out to others.
Why do women "tend and befriend" instead of "fight or flight"? The reason, in large part, is oxytocin combined with female reproductive hormones, explained researchers in the study.
