Authentic Women Gathering - communication skills for self-empowerment

WOMAN OF ME community events

What can be created when women come together willing to

• develop a more intimate relationship with ourselves and others
• be empowered and lead a life of sovereignty
• overcome barriers and sustain a creative lifestyle
• open up about our deepest truths and be seen in our uniqueness
• communicate authentically and feel energised by a supportive community?

Why Women’s Circles

I believe women’s unique experiences and gifts contribute to make a better world possible, and women’s circles are powerful caldrons where we get to experience what is possible. Inspiring, supportive, holding.

At the same time, thousands of years of female prosecution have left many of us without guidelines of how to:

• be in this world
• get what we need
• deal with rejection, abandonment and neglect
• how to make choices that best serve our interests
• establish relationships we long for
• know what is our own truth

The patriarchal hierarchic system has highlighted the devastating effects of competition and scarcity leading to feelings of jealousy, victimhood, and passive aggressiveness and the individual struggles for equity have often lead us to solitude, isolation and resentment, including towards other women.

Many of us experience a life fearing rejection, abandonment and to never be seen for what we really are.

Why Authentic Relating at women’s circles

Luckily, most of us know that we can heal division and discrimination by sharing space together. In conscious communication, we open our hearts and welcome new ways of interacting with each other. We will learn and practice Authentic Relating, a discipline that helps us to:

• reveal ourselves.
• overcome personal barriers to interact
• expand our capacity to listen to each other’s diverse realities
• express our inner authenticity whilst keeping connection
• be witnessed by other women
• enhance our sense of networking, community and mutual support.

The skills developed in group have a deep impact on how we communicate in the outside world, particularly with our closed ones, partners, children and at work.

Our community members say the AWG circles are a great opportunity to:

★ Cut through the chitchat and relax about meeting others

★ Observe what is present and communicate without getting lost in thoughts

★ Reveal my self to my self.

★ Practice active listening and indulge in having someone listening to me.

★ Discover what is my strong feminine

★ Socialise and have some time just for myself

★ Be open to other women.

★ To feel entirely in my body when I communicate

What happens at the circles

Adriana’s WOMAN OF ME programme sits at the base of these circles calling in the values of authenticity, openness, self-responsibility, consent, presence, intimacy, good health, and connection.

You will learn and practice Adriana’s leading method through self-reflection, communication paired and group exercises, gentle movement, and inner contemplation.

• practice tools for self awareness
• play curiosity and connection games with one or more partners
• observe and explore how to reveal yourselves authentically.
• explore diversity and gender labels
• help design a context that feels gradually safer to you and others
• give feedback as co-creation process for the following circles.
• explore ways we can network, support, provide and receive help from each other.
