Tonight's Theme: You are a work of Art
Michelangelo said, "The best artist has that thought alone which is contained within the marble shell; The sculptor's hand can only break the spell To free the figures slumbering in the stone.”
 


If we are willing to think of ourselves as figures that can be freed from our slumber within the stone, we can empower others and the world itself as the sculptor's chisel and use our lives as a chance to help us reveal the work of art we truly are.
 


This is quite an existence and a big leap from our habits of needing to be impressive, to do it on our own, to already be a finished product. Not everyone is ready to partner with you so you can become the person you've always wanted to be, the one you know is inside looking to come out. Creating relationships meant for our liberation, committing to chipping away our rough edges in service of our freedom, this is what we do together at The Relationship Circle, but it's available elsewhere, too. Tonight, we'll look at the possibility, what we'd make out of relationships that were designed to help us emerge into our greatness and how we'd go about creating them.



Minimum suggested contribution: $10 or more

Space limited to 20 people, RSVP required

About this event: 
The Relationship Circle is about creating a community of mindful practice in the area of interpersonal relationships.  We endeavor to use our relationships themselves meditatively, as an avenue for personal transformation as well as creating more love, happiness, success and well-being in our lives.  We use self-inquiry to discover how we are the root of our experience and through an empathetic and powerful process, identify patterns and create new pathways for communication, action and relating to ourselves.  This can be a tremendously healing and empowering process.  For over three years, The Relationship Circle has supported people through finding new romantic relationships, creating success in their work and discovering a sense of wholeness that they experience in their everyday lives.
The group is led by Gregg DeMammos, an ontological life coach in private practice since 2006.  You can learn more at www.meetup.com/The-Relationship-Circle.comwww.relationshipcircle.com or find Gregg or the Relationship Circle on Facebook.
The Relationship Circle is a group with two main intentions.
1. Supporting each other in creating the greatest relationships of our lives.
2. Transforming our lives from the inside out by using our relationships as a resource for learning about ourselves. 
They go hand in hand.
Tonight, we'll do some super-power training together on the orientation that can add so much to both aspects.  Looking at how our relationships are going as a cue for what we can learn about ourselves.  What gifts are available to us in how our relationships go? 
This is no simple skill.  Many of us have resistance (me included!) and rightly so.  We've encountered people and circumstances that gave us a mentality that they were the problem.  This training in no way makes a judgment on who is the problem.  It's just a skill that can help you see things in a very productive way, to examine, love and perhaps drop the ways we are being that may not be contributing to the lives we want to live.  We learned many habits for the sake of safety, but those habits are rarely what it takes to thrive. 
The best word I can use to describe this is humbling.  It's humbling work.  It's the kind of humbling that we can be extraordinarily grateful for, because it releases us from results we never wanted in the first place, it empowers us in our own lives and it brings more love, acceptance and success on our terms.
I'm excited to share this conversation with you.
