Circling Immersion
Level 2: A Deeper Dive
In a Nutshell:
The main intention of the level 2 immersion is to circle more full out with people who have already learned the basics and are hungry to go deeper. The level 2 is less about teaching and more about playing. You should expect intensity, challenge, and people not holding back. Themes we will explore include withholds, triggers, eros, shadow, grief and trauma. We will do a LOT of circling.
What is Eros Circling?
The only thing that makes a Eros Circle different from a normal circle is that it explicitly invite revealing experiences of attraction, repulsion, jealousy, comparison, subtle use of sexual energy, erotic expression, and erotic fantasies.
What is Shadow Circling?
Shadow Circling is us with the intent of projecting our shadows onto each other. In a Shadow Circle you do not own your experience and you lean into embodying your shadow.
