You can’t connect with others (or even yourself) when you’re protecting yourself.

This is a quote I heard from my mentor, Sean Smith, today.

He was talking about how we sometimes wish for deeper connection with others (to show them who we really are), but because of the fact that we don’t want to get hurt, we end up closing ourselves off.

Two ingredients that are needed are safety, and courage.

Because when we don’t feel safe, we don’t open up.

And if we lack courage to change, we’ll remain the same.

Unfortunately, many of us don’t have the people who can offer us a safe space. Also, we’re rarely encouraged to be different in our lives.

So for the month of September, I’ll be hosting two Magic Circle sessions.

Both sessions will be a free time for us to come together for open sharing and deep listening.

We’ll get a chance to share about anything on our mind, and we also hold space for others to talk.

The first one will be on Monday Sept 9th, 9pm EST.

The second one will be on Saturday September 21st 9am ET.

In terms of what we’re going to share, you can share anything that is on your mind, or I will be giving prompts as a guide. I will feel more into the session when the time comes.

The aim for the Magic Circle is two folds.

First is to offer a safe space so we can allow our body, mind and soul to be open.

The second is to cultivate that necessary courage to be who we are.

Allowing ourselves to speak up in a safe space will build up our courage to speak more of our truths in the real world.

Interested in this? Sign up here.

And mark your calendar.

Monday Sept 9th, 9pm EST.

Saturday Sept 21st, 9am ET.

I’ll see you there.
