You are invited to an open 'Heart Circle' to share what's in your heart to the empathetic hearts in a non-judgemental safe space. All stories, emotions,feelings, experiences will be heard, acknowledged and valued. If you don't have anything to share verbally, your time,care and attention is valued in the circle and that would be your sharing.
Format:
Each person will get an equal amount of time to share their heart out. Others in the circle will practise active listening. There won't be any advice, feedback or solution given. Participants will carry the stories, emotions and feelings with them. The session is bilingual (English/Tamil).
Kindly note: This is neither a therapy nor a substitute for therapy. But the participants may find the session can be therapeutic.

We will be forming a big circle on a beautiful terrace garden with plenty of natural light and gentle breeze during the golden hours for a relaxed session.
