How are you really doing?
A facilitated space for realness and presence over the summer months, in the style of The Way of Council (waysofcouncil.net)
Hosted by Jude Wong, RPC, certified in The Way of Council and Compassionate Communication.
Description
Facing challenges over the summer can be particularly isolating, in a season that expects us to be happy and thriving, vacationing with family, adventuring in the world. When we are facing challenges in our relationships, health, or finances, finding safe spaces to speak honestly about what's really happening for us can be especially difficult during summer, while equally vital, powerful and potentially transformative.
Loosely based on the format of The Way of Council, each session will begin with mindfulness and grounding. Each share will be gently timed and receive simple reflection from Jude of core statements, feelings, and needs. We will have one or two full rounds, depending on the size of the group, and close with a brief witnessing round -- phrases and ideas we've heard that have resonated.
The group space supports finding our voices, deepening our compassion for ourselves and each other, and remembering our interconnectedness. Each person's sharing time is uninterrupted. We refrain from cross-talk, physical contact, and unsolicited advice, sharing when, how, and what we feel comfortable sharing; and we hold what is shared in a sacred way.
