Workshops & Circles
In workshops and in circles the energy is quite different compared to working 1 on 1.
It is more intense, the potential for transformation and growing your awareness enhances exponentially.
A long time ago, before I started working as a therapist, these 2 concepts were hard for me to deal with. To be with many people in the same room, to open up in front of them. Oooh, yuck! I just couldn’t. It took me quite a few years, courses and experiences to be able to go to these things without having that nasty sensation in my body. I was very reserved and rarely said a thing. It was all just too much. I preferred the 1 on 1 with a therapist. I thought it was faster, deeper, better.
What I found out with each experience, was that it became easier and easier to open up, to be myself around strangers, to not be afraid to ask the questions. And now, I simply love them. I have found that they can be faster and deeper that 1 on 1, if you let them to be. I learned to appreciate their value, what gifts they bring to me and how transformative they are. So if I feel the need to participate in someone else’s group – I register as fast as I can.
I guess one could say – I transformed hate into love. True alchemy that’s what it is. And the funny thing about it, is that it is not that hard to do so. To go from one extreme to the other, all you need really is a bit of goodwill. If you are open for the possibility, at some point it will happen. Nothing needs to be hard. All things can come with joy. It is really just a matter of choice.

More about workshops
In workshops we typically work around a theme, we have a goal to reach, an intention. It is more for the mind to open up or for the body to process. There are questions to ponder about, the are exercises to be done. It is more about the mind becoming more flexible, more allowing.
In workshops there is more of a masculine yang energy present – it’s about doing, changing & setting things in motion.
In the workshops for adults I use tools like: contemplation, meditation, active meditation, movement meditation, dance, music with healing properties, authentic singing, breathing techniques, stretching, facial work, shaking, NLP and much more. Practically whatever is needed to get the job done.
When I work with kids or families, things get a lot more fun and dinamic.
Some examples of workshops I have created in the past:

More about circles
In circles, we are more relaxed, we open up to what is present within, we voice it out and bask in the acceptance of the group. It is a much needed process. Slowing down. Noticing what we feel, in our bodies, in our minds, what emotions we have.
More of a yin – feminine containing energy, loving presence, passive and receptive.
I, more or less, live most of my life like this, but I realize I might be one of few and I wish to pass on this joy of living in the present moment. Together we can experience authenticity and vulnerability in peace and safety. Community can be built in the circle and this kind of authenticity can be an amazing foundation in your life. to spread at home, or work or in other groups.
These circles are the perfect place for growth and transformation to happen in the most gentle way.
They are a chance to take off the masks and be your true self, your most silly self or your most sad and weak. Here it is ok. What is said in the circle stays there. Total privacy. There There is no judgement. is only acceptance, a huge opportunity for everyone participating.
Because…everybody is important. Everybody needs to be heard, feel understood and accepted. And if that cannot happen at home or at work. Such a space needs to be created.
How can I help?
- I can be the guide for this kind of an experience.
- I can offer the energetical and psychological safety, trust and containment a circle group needs.
- I am open to co-hosting as well as creating our own circle.
Right now, I do not have an active circle that I am hosting and at the same time, I am interested in creating one. If you and a few others are interested in this, whether it’s in Norway or Romania or anywhere else on the planet, get in touch by clicking here so we can see what we can arrange. I would prefer to have real life meetings but I am open to online as well. Remember, anything is possible.
