Circling & Surrendered Leadership Weekend Aarhus
This weekend immersion is an opportunity to explore the edge of relating. The meeting between Me and You. We will be exploring how to show up more fully with our experience and how to be in the unknown with someone else.
“All real living is meeting.”
Martin Buber, I and Thou
How do we come into relationship? That is the theme of this Circling & Surrendered Leadership weekend. The attainment that we are looking for is how to be with ourselves and the other at the same time. We will be practicing how to show up, listen and be in emergence (the shared unknown) with someone else or the group.
We want to explore how we can ourselves become better at inviting in the connection we long for, rather than waiting for it to “magically happen”. We can step more into life by becoming more present to our own experience and truth and by sharing it with those around us, trusting that they are able and willing to receive us.
We will also be playing with the idea of difference vs. sameness. Where can we find alignment with each other and where do we find a difference, that creates energy (or conflict) in the relationship. This includes working with boundaries.
This weekend will be centered around exploring the edges between me and you through Relational Presencing Practices, Surrendered Leadership and Embodiment.
Intro evening: October 31st from 18.00-21.00
The intro evening is meant as an introduction to the weekend, but everyone is welcome to participate. The evening will be focused on exercises and practices that brings us into contact with ourselves and the other.
Weekend immersion: November 1-2nd from 10.00-18.00
On the weekend immersion we will explore trust and surrender through various relational presencing practices, embodiment exercises and Surrendered leadership.
Some of the themes that almost always come up during a weekend like this are:
Exploring the edges (the boundary) between yourself and the other.
Being with the “maybe” of yourself or the other.
Exploring independence (separation) and interdependence (wholeness/togetherness) and the qualities inherent to each perspective.
Being in the unknown together.
We will be training the muscles of:
Staying connected to your present moment experience.
Allowing yourself to be impacted by others and sharing that impact.
Generously sharing yourself in service of connection.
Deeply listening to the experience of others.
Meeting others from a place of love.
Bringing presence and truth into connection without being attached to the outcome.
With relational presencing practices we are pointing to practices and leadership approaches such as Circling, Relatefulness and Transformational Connection.
These practices are great for getting more in touch with our present moment experience together with someone else. It typically involves sharing our thoughts, feelings or bodily sensations as they are happening and then seeing how it impacts the people around us.
One way of understanding Surrendered Leadership is that it is an opportunity to see your own Karma in action. You get to see how the way you are holding yourself in the world impacts others and thus feeds back to become your experience of the world.
More concretely Surrendered Leadership is a group practice where you are invited to surrender/welcome whatever is happening for you in the moment and lead yourself from there.
Embodiment points to actually being there, in your body, taking up as much space as you do with whatever is going on for you.
The path to more embodiment typically is a process of discovery where we start noticing all the ways in which we are holding ourselves back, suppressing emotions or not trusting that we are welcome.
Peter leads with an evident deep knowledge of and skill in both practices and an uncanny knack for spotting the underlying layers of what people are bringing, helping them to bring deeper layers of their experience in a way that continues to impress me.

I’ve been at two Weekends of Circling with Peter and found them to be perfectly challenging and wonderfully inspiring. Peter combines a sensitive empathy with a direct honesty that opens a safe and exciting space for exploring. I’m very grateful for my experiences and would recommend Peter and his approach to Circling to anyone who is interested in exploring themselves and how they show up with others.

I have just participated in my first Cicling-Immension-weekend, and I must say, that I am totaly mindblown with a warm, soft feeling in my entire body and a calm, vibrant sensation in my brain.

I cannot express enough how special this time was for me, meeting people at such a deep level and getting to know myself more intimately, feeling my own limits and edges around sharing connection with others.
