Coaching 💪 In 2021, I trained to become a Relational Dynamics Coach with RD1st, and it has been one of the most wonderful things I've ever had the pleasure to do in my career. A huge thanks to @coachingforcreativescommunity for supporting the training and what a beautiful community to still be a part off! ❤️ Coaching provides a safe and nurturing space for you to explore your inner self, beliefs, values, and desire to develop a deeper understanding of your life and to cultivate a stronger connection to your future goals. I can offer one to one Coaching, Action Learning and Listening Circles. Becoming a coach in the creative industry has been unbelievably rewarding, so often we go from project to project and never have the chance to reflect and take the time to think about where we're actually heading on our journey. Coaching can help you take the time to explore your goals and create a future for yourself that you only ever dared to dream of. Get in touch if you'd like to learn more about how coaching, action learning, or listening circles can help you or your organisation today! #Coaching #CoachingForCreatives #CreativeIndustry #RD1ST #ActionLearning #ListeningCircles #DreamBig #LoveYourDreams #LoveYourLife

The wellbeing of our young people is very important to us at Circlewise.They are our future. A governmental report came out last month which shared a framework for supporting the wellbeing of our young people, recognising that mental health in early life influences future mental and physical health as well as their life chances. The report shares a framework of areas of influence on their wellbeing on a personal, interpersonal, community and wider environmental level. It is unsurprising, and yet heartening, to see that relationships feature prominently in every aspect- the relationship we have with ourselves, each other and the natural world. This is what our circles are about, cultivating these relationships for people and planet to flourish.

It may come as no surprise that we are big fans of circles. We’d like to share with you a few reasons why they are so close to our hearts: *with circles there is no beginning or end, there’s no position that is more elevated, there is no hierarchy. Circles embody a fundamental belief of ours: that every person, every voice is equally important. *Circles also represent the cycle of the day and the turning of the seasons. In our modern world, we can forget to be in the stiller times of autumn/winter when there is an emphasis to be out there in our spring/summer, yet every season has its own qualities and energy, and all are so necessary. And this is also true in our circles. Know that in our circles, you can come just as you are. You are so welcome. #listeningcircles #circlewise #devon #circles #cycles

For those of you who have recently joined us, here’s a bit about our inspirational founder Heidi Rose Heidi was inspired to set up Circlewise after she saw the impact of circles on young people’s emotional intelligence and well being in the schools council program she was involved with many years ago in California. She was fortunate enough to be living and working at the Ojai Foundation - which is the teaching centre for The Way of Council and puts circle practice at the core of everything they do. After 30 years of facilitating circles and experiencing the transformational use of circle practice in this and other communities, she set up Circlewise, to bring these skills to schools, groups and individuals in Devon. Over the years she has brought deep listening circles to a variety of settings in person and online, from family ceremonies, to the school curriculum, one to one, therapeutically and in her own family and marriage. She has a passion and devotion to the power, wisdom and simplicity held in the ancient practice of sitting in a circle, listening and sharing from our hearts.

Human beings have always had meaningful conversations gathered in Circles. With roots in indigenous cultures around the world, listening circles provide people an opportunity to speak and listen to each other in an environment of safety and equality. We conduct listening circles for those in distress and these are spaces where we share with empathy and compassion. These spaces honour every contributor and there is a sense of oneness. #listeningcircles #ConnectingTrust #welisten #wecare #nonjudgementallistening @ashacaretrust

This is Hebe another of our amazing interns She is a fundraising Intern at Circlewise. She studies human geography at the University of Exeter, and has a love for the surrounding Devon countryside. She joined Circlewise because she was inspired and excited by their aim to build communication and empathy skills, which she recognises the value of in modern society. As a young person, she is particularly passionate about taking circles to schools, and allowing young people to grow up with a set of communication skills in their belt. She is looking forward to working alongside the Circlewise team to help enact this vision, which has the potential to reach and benefit a wide audience.

Did you know that Circlewise take listening circles into schools? Here’s a picture of our team of circle facilitators, all smiles on a misty morning just before facilitating listening circles for over 250 year 7s over the course of the day. It was such a moving day facilitating a space for stories to be shared by students and staff alike, weaving threads of connection and understanding all round. At Circlewise we believe in the power of circles to support students as they make significant transitions in their life journey- such as the potentially both exciting and daunting transition from primary to secondary school. If you would like to hear more about our Transitions programmes, supporting years 6,7,11 and sixth formers, do get in touch. We know that circle practice can support the development of confident, curious, reflective pupils, connected to themselves, their community, and the wider world. #listeningcircles #transitions #studentwellbeing #staffwellbeing #connection #circles #powerofcircles

Thank you for being a part of the inaugural year of Tulsa Women Doing Good, a Grapevine Giving Circle, affiliated with Philanthropy Together. Your donation has helped nonprofits in Tulsa fulfill their mission for good. As a fellow women leaders in the 918, you understand the need for more "good" in our community. Your support is greatly appreciated. Today marks over a year since Tulsa Women Doing Good started. We had an amazing first year: we organized our first giving event in under six months, which raised $6125 for Resonance Center of Tulsa. We also hosted a successful networking event on International Women's Day, featured in the local paper. Throughout the late spring and summer, we held monthly gatherings and listening circles to understand your needs. We learned a lot about our members during this time. We expanded our presence on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and the local media. Recently, we concluded our year by donating $8275 to Lindsey House, a 35% increase in our impact in just 7 months. By the way, Lindsey House is hosting an open house on Wednesday 12/6. It's important to see how your contributions are being used, and the tour is definitely worth it! Thank you for helping us make a difference. #TulsaWomenDoingGood #GrapevineGivingCircle #PhilanthropyTogether #communityimpact #nonprofitdonations #Tulsa #womenleaders #networkingevent #listeningcircles #communitydevelopment #givingback

Join us at the Glade, for a circle for men and women who long to share their gifts or their creative expression and for those who feel new visions stirring but don’t know how to move towards them. The gift we have is our innate Soul-nature. It has been given to us and it’s not ours to withhold. Yet, in the giving of it every wound of “not enough” can be touched. If we engage with it, it will bring us home to our belonging and the possibility that we can come forward from a place of being enough. In our time together we will practise the art of deep listening and heartful sharing. In so doing perhaps recognising that it is crucial for each one of us to manifest our unique gift for the good of the whole. #dartington #givingourgifts #circlewise #devon #listeningcircles #connection

As a leader, your actions, behaviours and interactions define your leadership.⁣ ⁣ Recently, I had the opportunity to facilitate insightful Listening Circles for a client. With a cross-section of employees from across the company, we delved deep into uncovering the fundamental needs individuals seek from their leaders. Our conversations offer a blueprint for fostering human leadership and stronger, more connected, and purpose-driven teams.⁣ ⁣ The key themes that emerged are aligned with my findings across different organizations and industries. Here are the top 7 things employees are looking for:⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Purpose – to feel a sense of meaning.⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ Recognition & Appreciation – to be recognized and appreciated for their efforts and contributions.⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ Belonging – to feel safe, heard, and that they belong.⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣ Autonomy – to be trusted and have input and choice.⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣ Growth – to feel challenged, stretched and like they are growing.⁣ ⁣ 6️⃣ Care – to feel someone cares about their well-being.⁣ ⁣ 7️⃣ Role Models – one of the most significant needs is to see leaders walk the talk. Actions speak louder than words. Meaning your actions need to live up to your words.⁣ ⁣ What would you add?

We read one of @emoryhall poems at Mother Nurture today, since then I have reflected on how many women have I been during my mothering life. And whilst thinking I felt the sensation of shame and sadness that I wasn’t a wiser or stronger or calmer woman when navigating the early years of motherhood. And then I remember I was learning how to love and care for my baby without guidance, without a village and without anyone mothering me. Like so many of us. And I remembered that I did my best and I loved with a primal ferocious force. But forgiveness is hard, maybe harder when we are forgiving our past self. But it’s so powerful when we do, and the space that is left has the opportunity to be replaced with softness, gratitude and peace.

Teamed up with Satyen, my Listening course mate and founder of Listening and Listening Circle Potential Project (LLcPP), to host Listening Circles at MIT World Peace University for the dynamic students of their Psychology department. In addition to these circles, we immersed ourselves in practical listening exercises and embodied listening practices. Engaging with these psychology students, driven by their passion to enhance well-being in their immediate surroundings and offer mutual support, was truly heartwarming. Their energy and Aatman, the psychology department club's volunteer team's exceptional organizational skills, left us in awe. A special shoutout to Zainab Jamaly, an LLcPP intern who co-facilitated her first listening circle and excelled! 🙌 We're grateful to Prof. Abhijit Chore for recognizing the importance of dedicated listening spaces and inviting us to his department. The cherry on top? Meeting and conversing with Prof. Santosh Kumar, the Dean of the Department of Liberal Arts at MIT WPU. His insights into the evolving educational landscape and the pivotal role of alternatives like Listening Spaces were truly enlightening. #ListeningCircles #PsychologyStudents #WellBeing #Education #MITWPU #LLcPP #Empathy #CommunitySupport #ChangingParadigms

Here’s our 3rd and final post about feedback from June’s listening circle on SUPPORT We asked participants: “What kinds of support functions would you like to see?” Here’s what the parents and carers who attended told us: 💜 Someone to chase up referrals and give us a clue when things will happen 🩶 Access to free counselling in all schools and colleges in England 💛 Social support for my child - somewhere they can safely meet other young adults like them 💙SEND babysitter database 🩷 A great (peer assessed/validated) database of support journals or books with advice from loved experience so we can filter out the specific advice we need for our young person - not just Google 💚 ADHD NHS passports - like the Autism ones but for ADHD and other ND conditions 🧡 Something that demonstrates the disproportionate impact on mother - where partners and other family members can see and understand 🩵 Free training and helpful resources for parents with newly diagnosed ND children and their families too 🤍 Support for transition (or how to access this) for KS3-4 and post 16/18 Which of the above resonate with you? - leave a comment with the corresponding colour(s) heart below #ActuallyEducation #ActuallyEducationCIC #ListeningCircle #ListeningCircles #ListeningCircleFeedback #Feedback #Support #Neurodiversity #Neurodivergent #Neurodiverse #NeurodiverseSupport

Today’s post is the 2nd in our mini series about feedback from June’s listening circle The focus for this listening circle was SUPPORT We asked participants: “What informal support mechanisms do you have in place?” We got a wonderfully diverse range of responses: 💜 My friends - both those with ND/SEND children and those without 🩶 Facebook forums and pages, e.g. @neurowild_ @sunshinesupportuk 💛 Podcasts, e.g. ADHD Adults 💙 Family members - the ones who really “get it” 🩷 Gin and cheese! 💚 My workplace - having access to people who have worked with SEND in education for a long time is super helpful 🧡 My church - lots of suppprt via community groups and small groups in the wider church community 🩵 Those who get it - they ask for more info What would you add to this list? #ListeningCircle #ListeningCircles #ListeningCircleFeedback #YourFeedback #YourStories #ActuallyEducation #ActuallyEducationCIC #Neurodivergent #Neurodiversity #Neurodiverse #SEN #SEND #SENParent

Last Friday we facilitated the listening circle in HSR Layout, Bangalore on 'fear and hopes in relationships'. ❣️ A lot of themes around losing self-identity, beliefs that a lot of external factors mess up our relationships, finding motivation in relationships, defining self value and communicating a list of non-negotiables in a relationship, societal conditioning around 'oneness', confrontations and standing up for something, came up. Much grateful to everyone who participated with a lot of strength through vulnerability, and for being kind and truthful to yourself and others. Means a lot. ❣️ And for everyone out there suffering and feeling alone, we send you a lots of love and prayers. 🌸 Special thanks to @jasmine_evsky, our founder and Shravya from @freelivingexperiments for working so hard and putting a lot of thought into this. Hugs. 🤗 #listeningcircle #listeningcircles #relationships #relationshipgoals #psychology #love #kindness #kindnessmatters #spreadkindness

Join us, to explore leadership in context of these times, with other leaders – What are the edges that we encounter, where are the boundaries that mark our successes and failures and how can we take more account of other's work that we may mutually deepen in trust and perhaps, make small shifts toward common intentions, more interface with others, think more like a circle? An open circle of invited or self selected community leaders, those who see themselves working with people and groups (of any size), private or public sections of society at whatever level respect and influence are exchanged. With a simple intention to share our work and ways, bring a greater awareness of the challenges we face, explore the responsibilities that bring us closer together through individual stories and experiences, our being and doing of leadership, the listening to our collective wisdom. Rob Dreaming will be facilitating this circle. He is a recognised Carrier, Facilitator and Trainer of Way Of Council, trained by elders of the Ojai Foundation and largely by the practice itself, having facilitated Council talking circles with regular sessions, workshops, and trainings, UK and Europe since 20 years. Pre-booking is required for this session and is based on paying what you can. See link in bio to book For any questions about the session please contact Heidi Rose on 07891 062769 or email [email protected] There will be a follow-up circle on Tuesday 25th July at the Natural Health Centre, Totnes. #listeningcircles #leaders #dartington

Today is the third and final post in our mini-series about what we learnt from May’s Listening Circle This feedback is specifically on social, emotional and mental health needs 🩵 Parents/carers felt these areas were not as often collectively categorised but that by grouping them together it was helpful as it shows they are as important as speech, language and communication 🩵 Social needs were explored in our conversation - children have individual and specific needs in this area e.g. some children need to be away from others for periods of time e.g. some children have difficulty understanding social cues so developing relationships is challenging 👉 Friendships play such a crucial role in a child’s ability to learn but teachers often don’t want to “wade in” to friendships at school because it’s not curriculum 👉 Having open discussion in the classroom about things like 🔹keeping a distance 🔹 literal explanations 🔹 empathy can help everyone have a better understanding of divergent needs 👉 We know this is a complex area but in encouraging discussion around this we aim to improve understanding 🩵 Children/young people are less empowered than adults to “control” their needs on this area e.g. An adult could leave the room if a situation was too overwhelming. But a child cannot do that in the middle of a lesson at school for example 👉 Giving a child control is some situations can be extremely helpful e.g. Leaving the dining hall at lunch time if it is too busy and loud 🩵 We talked a lot about spending time and energy creating a better environment in the first place v dealing with the consequences should those needs not be met. The former is worth it every time (at home, school, everywhere) 🩵 Parents/carers strongly felt the connection between neurodiverse children and challenges around mental health. Looking at mental health needs alongside social and emotional needs really helped support parents explaining that link for their child As ever we would love to know your thoughts: 👇 Comment below 📩 DM this page 📧 Email us at [email protected] #ListeningCircle #ListeningCircles #ListeningCircleFeedback

We recently held our third Listening Circle and today is the second post in a series of posts on feedback from that session We are introducing themes to the Listening Circle discussions so that we are able to get feedback in specific areas and one of those themes from last time was Speech , language and communication This is what we learnt 🩵 These areas are connected and understanding that improving access to one of these can significantly improve outcomes in another 👉 This is a key thing at school especially (because often at home these things have already been navigated…albeit often without realising it) 🩵 Having a support network is a huge help - it gives a sense of “we are not alone” 👉 Rather than relying on finding other children in the same class who are also neurodivergent - it allows parents and caters to share stories and strategies 🩵 Considering the cross over into non-neurodivergent children was helpful to see how expectations are key to unlocking access 👉 Moving our narrative to wanting to provide the best environment for the individual child is easy when the behaviour is seen as externally prompted 👉 We are applying this same narrative where the behaviour in internally prompted and parents welcome this because their own experience tells them this works (without having to rely on expert opinion) As ever we would love to know your thoughts: 👇 Comment below 📩 DM this page 📧 Email us at [email protected] #ListeningCircle #ListeningCircles #ListeningCircleFeedback #YourFeedbackMatters #SpeechAndCommunication #Language #SupportNetwork #Neurodivergent

We recently held our third Listening Circle As ever it was full of amazing conversations We also presented our first resources for some valuable feedback from parents and carers We’re now refining those resources based on that feedback - so more to follow soon on that! We love our Listening Circles and the opportunity to connect with you all and as ever you gave us some insightful feedback which we will continue to use to develop our resources This time we learnt: 🩵 Parent guilt is very real and is felt all the time 🩵 Waiting times for formal diagnosis are so long that parents/carers are having to make tough choices without medical intervention 👉 These include school refusal, school removal and moving schools 🩵 Methods that allow for a “child-centred” approach to your child/young person’s educational access is what is needed 👉 One size does not fit all and the schools (or in more cases individual teachers) who recognise this make all the difference 👉 Individual educators are the best thing about this journey - they make such a difference! 🩵 Defining ‘basic’ terms (e.g. neurodivergent) is critical - more on this coming soon! 🩵 Frustration that to be taken seriously a diagnosis is required - if educational setting were more inclusive this need would not be so keenly felt 🩵 Removing the focus away from the child/young person being a problem at school (“problem behaviour”) and moving towards a focus on requirements to learn well As ever we would love to know your thoughts: 👇 Comment below 📩 DM this page 📧 Email us at [email protected] #ListeningCircle #ListeningCircles #Feedback #SafeSpace #Conversation #Connections #FormalDiagnosis #OneSizeDoesNotFitAll #ChildCentredApproach #PositiveLearningEnvironment #Neurodivergent #MentalHealth #Neurodiversity

This Saturday- May 20th 9:30 - 5:30 pm. £55 concession available. An Introduction to Way of Council with Sara Drew. Way of Council is a modern form of the ancient practice of sitting in circle sharing stories from our lives. It is a ceremony whose origins arise from nature and the reciprocal way of our relationships with the natural world. In Council we hold that all voices are needed to tell the truth of the whole, and the deepest wisdom may be held by the quietest person. This day is an opportunity to experience the deep sense of connection that comes from speaking and listening wholeheartedly: 'from the heart' We will explore the origins of Council, setting up the Council container, and some of the many Council forms. Sara Drew has completed training as a Carrier of Council and runs a regular Council group. She has extensive experience as a trainer and group worker and also works as a therapeutic counsellor, both indoors and with nature as guide.
