Council Circle
A Practice of Heart-Centered Sharing and Deep Listening

I still remember my first Council session in England—what struck me most was the deep sense of connection I felt. Rob, our facilitator, didn’t give teachings or advice. We simply sat in a circle and shared. But it wasn’t just storytelling—it was how we shared that made it so powerful.

In Council, we spoke and listened from the heart. There were no interruptions, no advice-giving, and no judgments. Each person had the space to share authentically, without fear of criticism or the need to perform. The circle held space for everyone’s voice, creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. This was different from casual conversations or even structured discussions. It felt sacred—an opportunity to express not just words, but deeper truths, emotions, and experiences that often remain unspoken. Hearts opened, and I realized we are all equally human—sharing similar pains and joys, deeply interconnected.

Though we didn’t speak about spirituality, it was a profoundly moving experience. I felt that this kind of connection could lead to healing and a more peaceful world.

I now hold Council circles regularly in Budapest and wherever I am called to facilitate. If you’re curious about joining a Council Circle—or even bringing it into your community, team, or retreat—reach out. I offer both in-person and online facilitation.
