In Portland, in person, on Thursday September 15 @7-9:30pm, join Laureli to Be Here Now in a Circle. Practice being mindfully in the present moment with others. Arrive on time as we close the circle (and won't answer the door) ~15 min after we begin.

This event is posted in a few places, so signups here don't indicate likely attendance.

Space is limited, so please pay ahead, and we'll send you the address. We'll refund anyone that pays after we fill up (and we'll aim to say we're full in these event posts).

In Be Here Now, in a Circle, people are guided to be authentic, present and in the moment, often with strangers. We are supported to slow down, experience our and others' impact, and more deeply connect. Learn more at http://thrive-wise.com/a-guide-to-circling-an-authentic-relating-activity/

This is an Authentic Relating (AR) event, part of a growing movement spreading around the globe (https://www.authrev.com/worldwide-connection). We'll also combine in aspects of T Group (experiential interpersonal dynamics).

We offer a lower BIPOC price as a step towards creating racial justice and ending racism in this generation. We aim to educate and make reparations for years of systemic cultural racism and white benefits (the new and more accurate term for "white privilege") that white-bodied people (like Laureli) receive despite how aware, conscious and unbiased we may each be.

5.4% of Profits on this event are also paid to Real Rent Duwamish, a local native tribe - https://www.realrentduwamish.org/
