  • The Book of Circling with Marc Beneteau
    Dec 11 2025

    Marc “Marco” Beneteau is a major force in the Authentic Relating and Circling world. His newsletter has become a must-read feature of the field, and his introduction to Circling has been one of the most important resources for newcomers.

    And now… Marco’s working on a third version of his intro book, bringing in some of the biggest names in Authentic Relating to help. He comes on the podcast to help us.

  • Boundaries and Circling
    Nov 12 2025

    Boundaries define us. They draw the border of the country of ourselves. They help us negotiate relationships. They help us discover what's important to us. And when they are violated, they call us to go inward and pursue explosive personal growth.

    The Circling practice in particular allows us to discover our edges and learn how to be artful when we move into deep territory in others. All that and more on this very special episode.
