Togetherness

Join us for an evening of authentic relating, we take the awkwardness out of communication and replace it with meaningful connection and fun

Skydome

<h3>Circling (also known as Transformational Connection) is a cutting-edge practice that invites an exploration of how we are in relationship with others.</h3>Often described as a ‘relational meditation’, it focuses on what is happening in the present moment in our connections with each other. There is no trying to get anywhere or fix anything which allows new dimensions in our relating.By opening more skilfully to what is here within us and between us, we can facilitate powerful trusting relationships, deep presence and often experience the richness and mystery at the heart of our being.No previous experience is necessary.★★★★★There is a brilliance in my emotional state that does not lend itself well to words, but without a doubt this is a practice that I would not only recommend but encourage everyone to try.Katja - Designer★★★★★I learned things about myself that I didn't know before. Feelings and emotions that were hidden or masked. I now feel better connected with myself and can already see improvements in the way I connect with others.Nic B, CEO<h2>On the day</h2>We explore the foundational practices in presence and connection in 2s, 3s and 4s before group exercises.While every experience is different, they often involve sharing with each other what we are noticing about our thinking, physical sensations and emotions in the present moment.We follow our curiosity about what it is like to be me, to be you, and to be with each other. Simply slowing down into these simple practices can be profound.During the practice, self-leadership and self-responsibility are encouraged.<h2>Unique Venue</h2>The evening takes place in a well furnished geodesic dome on the roof of my flat overlooking London. Participants often remark on how the setting enhances the experience.

<h2>Why Circling?</h2><ul><li>Get to the core of what really matters to you</li><li>Develop your emotional range</li><li>Use conflict to develop connection</li><li>Discover more self-trust</li><li>Practice connection as the cure for anxiety and addiction</li></ul> <h2>Praise for previous sessions</h2>★★★★★I have a wonderful sense of calm that I have rarely experienced in life.My body feels supple and relaxed, like it’s been washed through.I am finding a new ability to observe the world and everything looks slightly different to how I thought.Oli - Finance Professional★★★★★We started as total strangers and ended having seen something breathtaking in each other. It was a gentle journey that took us somewhere quite profound.Rich W - Marketing Strategist★★★★★I'm feeling really expansive and grounded in myself with a renewed sense of self respect. It's like my perception has been sharpened in a way that is exciting and hopeful.Sandra - Entrepreneur <h2>Is this for you?</h2>While this event suits those who are experienced and newbies, the process can be emotionally rigorous. It is a daring practice that requires courage to meet what is within us, all that is within the other and to reveal this to each other.The experience can be intense. People encounter places, states, emotions, beliefs, and sensations in themselves and others that are sometimes unfamiliar. We explore the unknown, the volatile, the ambiguous, and welcome emotions many deem as “negative” or “inappropriate” such as feelings of inadequacy, anger, sexuality, and joy. We refer to the willingness to feel difficult and uncomfortable truths as the “commitment to connection,” which of course includes a willingness to set appropriate boundaries and speak a desire for space, distance, and non-contact.By attending our events you take responsibility for leaving the practice or participating in any given moment—which might include getting intimate with these kinds of experiences.We will often explore multiple sides of seeming opposites at once, such as independence and interdependence, chaos and order, and agreement and disagreement. We believe this can reveal an underlying unity of the immediacy of experience.If the above description of our workshops sounds potentially overwhelming or destabilising for you, if you have a mental illness or significant emotional challenges that you feel may be exacerbated by this type of transformational environment, or if you are not sure that you can be self-directed in taking care of your needs during the event, then we advise you not to enrol. <h2>Timing</h2>You are welcome to arrive from 6:40pm and make yourself a cup of tea.We begin at 7pm and kindly ask you to arrive in good time to start promptly. We finish by 9:00pm.After you are welcome to stay in the dome for half an hour to drink tea and hang out with other participants. <h2>Location</h2>The Skydome is 2 minutes walk from Deptford Station and 8 minutes walk from New Cross station, 20 mins walk from New Cross Gate station. We have a maximum of 12 participants. You will receive exact location details on booking. <h2>About Adam Taffler</h2>I am a relationship and communication coach deeply passionate about meaningful human connection.
