Beyond the Illusion of Separation

In SPEAKING CIRCLES we experience the unity of our shared humanity. We go “beyond personality” to be with others in a more natural, less “performance mask” mode. We know and sense who we truly are and how we can create a field of belonging with our authenticity and listening from stillness. This core experience of holding stillness for self and other is key to effective leadership and presence --- professionally and personally.

SPEAKING CIRCLES is one safe and supportive place to be in stillness, accessing stillness with others in Relational Stillness®, knowing stillness as the source of creativity, insight, and more. Moving from stillness into Relational Presence, we naturally become attuned, with attention, to others, knowing our natural connection to all, welcoming and receiving attention, without having to perform, please, persuade. We come to know our own core transformational power.

Takes practice, every day. SPEAKING CIRCLES help us practice in an intimate, non-judgemental space. We grow exponentially in self-discovery, anchoring our natural awareness of self and other. It’s a practice and art that we can learn and grow.

SPEAKING CIRCLES is changing the way people around the world are communicating - powerful, authentic, clear, more present, at home in their own being, sensing the still center, welcoming, receptive, magnetic, and connected.

Ask yourself
*what holds me back?
*what fears undermine my behavior?
*how can I be more effective, present, patient, balanced professionally and personally?
*how can I have effortless self-focused attention that helps my performance anxiety?
*do I want to inform, influence and inspire others?

**Maybe you or someone you know wants or needs just this, more fearlessness and less fear in your life.**

Facilitated in over 14 countries, SPEAKING CIRCLES help people move to greater Clarity, Ease and Freedom, in communication and in Life! I look forward to being with you on Saturdays, once a month, to experience, explore and expand Relational Stillness, Relational Presence, and Relational Voice in yourself, and with another.

Is the fear of public speaking getting in your way of expressing yourself? Is it stopping you from getting a promotion, speaking up at a meeting, relating effectively in any group? You really can change how you feel about public speaking. Speaking Circles will show you how. The atmosphere of acceptance and positive regard at Circles helps you move through the fear with Relational Presence, and find your natural way of speaking as your authentic self.

The key practice learned and developed in Speaking Circles, Relational Presence is a powerful foundation for authentic communication and public speaking. Relational Presence equips you for any kind of personal or professional interaction or public presentation, both in person and online.

    "When it comes to resources, they are a dime a dozen. The exception is Speaking Circles, (facilitated) by Lynne Velling. She has earned my highest praise. Her interactive workshops deliver everything they say, and more."
    —Michelle Anton, Author & Producer

    "[Speaking Circles] was a very rich, challenging and energizing experience. The day was a wonderful beginning. I hope to continue to practice in future Speaking Circles."
    —A.K., Landscape designer, L.A.

    "I am always amazed at how this process seems to have as much to do with how we are 'in the world' as it does with how we are with a group or audience. It is an awesome experience, and I feel as attracted to the 'centering' effect that it has one me, as I do to the speaking benefits that it has to offer."
