Authentic Women Gathering – London Circles
Communication skills for self empowerment
In 2018, we created the women circles we had been longing for: The Authentic Women Gathering. And we are now back in person every 4th Thursday of the month in London.
What can be created when women come together willing to:
✩ develop a more intimate relationship with ourselves and others
✩ be empowered and lead a life of sovereignty
✩ overcome barriers and sustain a creative lifestyle
✩ open up about our deepest truths and be seen in our uniqueness?
WHY WOMEN’S CIRCLES
I believe women’s unique experiences and gifts contribute to make a better world possible, and women’s circles are powerful caldrons where we get to experience what is possible. Inspiring, supportive, holding.
At the same time, thousands of years of female prosecution have left many of us without guidelines of how to be in this world, occupy a space that is our birthright, get what we need, and establish relationships we aspire to create. Some of us struggle to know what is our own truth and we may now know how to make choices that best serve our interests. Others fear to be rejected, abandoned and never to be seen for what we really want to be.
The patriarchal hierarchic system has highlighted the devastating effects of competition and scarcity leading to feelings of jealousy, victimhood, and passive agressiveness.
The individual struggles for equity have often lead us to experiences of solitude, isolation and resentment, also towards other women.
WHY AUTHENTIC RELATING AT WOMEN’S CIRCLES
Luckily, most of us know that we can heal division and discrimination by sharing space together.
In conscious communication, we open our hearts and welcome new ways of interacting with each other by learning and practicing Authentic Relating, a discipline that helps us:
➙ reveal ourselves.
➙ overcome personal barriers to interact
➙ expand our capacity to listen to each other’s diverse realities
➙ express our inner authenticity whilst keeping connection
In learning how and being witnessed by other women, we enhance our sense of networking, community and mutual support. We also take away skills that may have a tremendous impact on how you communicate in the outside world, with friend and family members, partners, children and at work.
★★★★★ Our community members say the AWG circles are a great opportunity to:
★ Cut through the chitchat and relax about meeting others
★ Observe what is present and communicate without getting lost in thoughts
★ Reveal my self to my self.
★ Practice active listening and indulge in having someone listening to me.
★ Discover what is my strong feminine
★ Socialise and have some time just for myself
★ Be open to other women.
★ To feel entirely in my body when I communicate
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE CIRCLES
Adriana’s WOMAN OF ME programme sits at the base of these circles calling in the values of authenticity, openness, self-responsibility, consent, presence, intimacy, good health, and connection.
You will learn and practice Adriana’s leading method through self-reflection, communication paired and group exercises, gentle movement, and inner contemplation.
