A Safe Place...to Be...don't we all want that?
VIRTUAL SPEAKING CIRCLES

"...I'm thinking right now about how I'm able to achieve stillness and yet the world interrupts...and I get carried away by all the interruptions and feel ....unstill. I promise myself to spend a little more time deliberately seeking stillness during my day.....
..just coming here [Virtual Speaking Circle] and speaking and listening is so reassuring ...it creates a sense of space and calmness and...being heard. I'm so glad we met today.
I feel as if I got my feet under me a bit...it is really interesting to look inside and see what wants to be said just now, in this place...thank you for coming, and for creating this space...
and I'll thank myself for showing up." BB, many-time participant

Connection in this safe place, where we access stillness in a breath - anytime when we notice, set an intention - happens with support and deep listening. No evaluation, no need to speak, no discussion.

It's so freeing, as many know....just to feel alive, your presence with others' presence.

Silence, yes. Then, there is Stillness. Both powerful and valuable. And Stillness is ACCESSIBLE even when there is no Silence. THAT is a huge gift to yourself, to be able to go there, be in that place.
You CAN develop that ability to be in Stillness.....in
VIRTUAL SPEAKING CIRCLES!
We start from stillness, with breathing into that deep inner place, and become present to the connection with self and others.
http://www.vellingcommtraining.com/virtual-speaking-circles.html
Intimate (limit is 6), safe, supportive...giving appreciation, not evaluation or advice. 1 - 1 1/2 hr, recorded for participants' later review and deeper learning.
All welcome!...to explore and develop a practice of knowing stillness, leading to relational presence and powerful connection with others, with no stress or pressure, but, rather, pleasure ----
professionally and personally. Know for yourself.
http://www.vellingcommtraining.com/virtual-speaking-circles.html
You can change your life when you find this voice of still being within, whether silence it there or not. Transformative in many ways that may surprise you!

And someone commented on Ms. Angelou's original post, " It is only when we are quiet that we can hear the truth of who we are." Thank you, Maya Angelou and anonymous person....such a good reminder.

A solid base camp....Virtual Speaking Circles.
"Virtual isn't going away....," I hear more and more these days.
That said, how are you doing in your Virtual connecting?
Comfortable, alert, focused, present and receptive? Or ....maybe not.
A VIRTUAL SPEAKING CIRCLE is a powerfully engaging and supportive base camp for learning skills of being
seen and heard more effectively virtually. It's a place to find the voice/Voice (Presence) you want to project, become
comfortable with looking into the camera, and even at yourself on-screen, relating to and connecting with others.
AND what occurs and follows is not like climbing to Everest! No cold, hard trek or backpack and supplies.
Nor a deep dive into a "Grand Canyon."
Rather you experience spaciousness, support, openness, appreciation and intimacy - literally and figuratively.
** I invite you to come to Virtual Speaking Circles for yourself....a simple journey to this registration: **
http://www.vellingcommtraining.com/virtual-speaking...
May Circles are PT: Mon 5PM, Wed Noon, & Sat 10AM.
1 - 1 1/4 hr. recorded and sent to you after for deeper learning.
Just $25/meeting or 4/$90.
Meet you at our Virtual Speaking Circle base camp? Yes!
I'm waiting there for you. Limited 6!

“Everyone has a Voice. Voice is Sound; Voice is Presence: Voice is Pride; Voice is Power -- Voice is all this. Finding your Voice once doesn’t end the process; you will likely need to find it again, and again -- as you grow and evolve with your life’s adventures. It’s a shared experience, a necessary experience for most of us.”
Discover anew, with the practice of Relational Presence, your Voice and all it includes in Virtual Speaking Circles, one-1 1/4 hr of spacious receptivity, clarity, listening, stillness and natural expression.
http://www.vellingcommtraining.com/virtual-speaking...
Intimate, safe, supportive --- no evaluation, no speech giving, deepening listening and much more --- for personal and professional benefit! All welcome from anywhere!
