"There is a lifetime of experience and education that I couldn’t touch in just one statement. Circling and Surrendered Leadership have changed my life."
Evan
California
"Circling has completely transformed my life and relationships. The practice has helped me become a better friend, leader, and teacher. Being able to teach this practice with others is a real gift and passion I prize in my top 3 missions in life. I've found circling to be a great avenue to experience, heal, and transform lifelong relational patterns. I've particularly fond of Circling Europe's dedication to explore the frontiers of Circling. I cherish the feedback and deep level of meeting I've consistently experienced with Sean, John, and Jordan."
Peter

"I have participated in SAS not once but twice, and I wholeheartedly intend to take the SAS journey again in the future. The program has supported profound shifts in my capacity to take responsibility for what I would like to see manifest in my own life and in the world; in my capacity to recognize, respect, and empathize with the complexity of perspectives inherent in human relationships; and to integrate previously abstruse spiritual teachings into lived experienced."
JJ
California
"Given that 6 out of 7 terminally ill heart patients cannot change their lifestyle despite the intensity and urgency to do so, it’s remarkable how CE guides virtually participant through a true transformation. My life is full of meaningful relationships, my company earns higher profits, my day is filled with mystery and a sense of awe, and my mind uses every experience to continually transform itself. These are all symptoms of the real change that occurred in me by working with CE - a true transformation of my consciousness."
Griffin

"The SAS in 2014 impacted me deeply and has continued to inform my marriage, parenting and vocational aspirations for years now."
Rebecca in 2019
Ithaca, NY
"Take SAS if you want to communicate more clearly, deliberately, directly and intentionally."
Gayle
Texas
"I feel more expansive and inclusive now, and I seem to have a new curiosity towards life. I feel more Surrendered and ecstatic as I watch life reveal itself. I’m so grateful to have a place and a practice to continue growing into myself. I feel so lucky to get to feel with others the unified field that presence, truth, time, and space create. It’s basically the closest I’ve gotten to experiencing God, since child birth or death of a loved one. Thank you CE for creating this incredible opportunity. "
Christina
Texas
"The first SAS I went to was the first time I really got to experience what it's like for me to be in a new group, where I don't know how to relate or what to say or what's OK. I could see myself, the person I've always been, from a new perspective. And I could really see her and the tensions and the ups-and-downs, from moment to moment. I've grown so much from the years of Circling practice I've done since... I'm now able to reflect back with love and kindness toward all my past selves, as well as toward my current self. "
