Leadership is a huge thing that's always happening when we're in practice. There's inevitably a leader and ane participants, or o those that are being guided. The way the leaderis leading is having a huge impact on how this cross paromatic investigation is going. We can use our surrendered leadership even when there's meditation instruction or coaching. But we have to get really skilful. I also have to develop in my willingness to stand for my leadership. And i think if that can be part of the conversation, and oter see wewit circling in, or surrendered leadership,. which is like an extension of circling, exploring collective intelligence in a group.
Circling Europe co-founder Sean Wilkinson and I explore what it's like to practice across paradigms, the limits and transformational potential of circling, and the interplay between mediation, circling, and trauma work. Sean shares from his experience about the problems with static orientations to practice, subtle grasping to personal growth, and the orientation of trust.
Sean Wilkinson is a Circling Europe co-founder with an enduring passion for self-awareness, human potential, wisdom traditions and an ongoing inquiry into life. His focus includes extensive academic research, spiritual and psychological practice, coaching, and therapeutic training.
