Presence Circle

Let’s create a vessel of support to help each other meet life.

Develop your capacity to turn towards your truth while being held in a circle of loving Presence.

The Vision

The idea of the Presence Circle came from a meditation on what was needed to serve people as they experience the impact of these fast-paced and often disruptive times. The image of the sacred geometry of the Flower of Life showed itself, followed by circles progressively lifting off it. This coalesced into a vision in which small groups gather together, consciously creating a vessel of support through deep listening, allowing each person to directly express the truth of their experience in the moment, outside of story, with no attempt to “fix” or give advice, trusting the transformative impact of deeply expressing oneself while being deeply heard.

What is the process?

During a Presence Circle, we weave a basket of energetic support through deep, non-judgmental listening from a state of Presence while each member has the opportunity to get in touch with and express what is most alive in their experience. The body’s energetic system may then naturally open up to metabolize stored emotional habits that no longer serve us.

The Presence Circle was an incredible experience. It's hard to put into words how powerfully healing it was to take part in creating a shared space of support and introspection. I grew so much through this experience; it helped me deepen my spirituality and grow in strength and inner wisdom. Mari and Wendy are powerful and compassionate facilitators. Their work in creating this experience allowed the group to become uniquely what it was meant to be and allowed each member to bring their full selves to help shape this beautiful experience.

My experience as part of the Presence Circle has been such a gift. Giving myself permission to meet with these beautiful souls has enriched my life in more ways than I can express. Here is a group committed to holding space, creating a loving container where we can speak our truth, let down our personas and simply BE. No expectations – no fixes – no advice! Just deep real true listening and total acceptance. A place where we can be our authentic selves. My recommendation to you – if you are asked, don’t hesitate, join and follow your heart into this space of boundless love.

Participation in the first Presence Circle was a great catalyst for personal growth. A palpable sense of connection developed quickly between members of the group. We were encouraged to look deeply into our true feelings and share them openly. It was a space where we could all feel heard and held in loving acceptance. I am so happy that we will be able to continue this important work.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a group named "Presence Circle," but because it was an opportunity to sit with Wendy and Mari, I knew it would be a challenge I was up for. After two circles, what I had unmasked within the basket of our small, intimate group was terribly profound and left me feeling that I was on the precipice of the transformation I had been seeking. Within the group, slowly my layers started to fall away and I felt I could trust the "basket" we were weaving. By the closing of our compassionate group, the truth of what I had been lacking was very evident to me. And with that knowledge, I gained a clear understanding of how I could Iive life being true to myself, with deeply felt and, even more importantly, genuine love, originating from my heart.
