Circle P
a mindful, playful group experience
CircleP didn’t appear as a program on paper. It grew slowly and very naturally out of my own practice. I was already deeply intomindfulness, exploring what it meant in my body and in my life, and people around me started asking for it — first friends, then parents, and eventually teachers. I would guide a circle for a friend, then someone would ask, “Can you do something like this for my child?” and suddenly the room would fill with children, parents, and a feeling of shared curiosity.
That’s really how CircleP began — not as a concept, but as something that simply kept being requested.
Because the people who spend the most time with children are the ones shaping how those children learn to calm themselves, express emotions, and feel safe in their bodies. And CircleP became a space where everyone could practice that together — not in theory, but in a very real, physical, gentle way.
Over time it settled into its own form: a simple, embodied group experience that meets people exactly where they are. No pressure, no big expectations, just a shared moment to breathe, move, play, and reconnect with themselves and with one another.
What CircleP feels like
A CircleP session is quiet and light at the same time.
We always begin with arriving — letting everyone settle, noticing the room, the breath, each other. Then we shift into simple embodied practices: grounding exercises, soft movement, breathing that children can actually use, and games that regulate the nervous system without anyone needing to name it.
Play is an important part of CircleP, not as entertainment, but as a natural form of regulation. Children release tension through rhythm, curiosity, and shared attention. Adults soften too. And somewhere between movement and stillness, the whole group finds a moment of calm that is very easy to feel and very hard to explain.
The session closes with a short pause — a quiet moment that helps the experience land. Nothing formal, just enough space for the body to understand what it learned.
The method behind it
CircleP blends the core elements of my work: mindfulness, somatic awareness, nervous system literacy, and playful co-regulation.
But it is intentionally flexible. The structure stays similar, yet it adapts to the needs of each group — a shelter, a school, a community center, a village classroom, a hospital courtyard.
It works because it respects biology. When the body shifts, attention shifts. When attention shifts, connection becomes easier. Children don’t need long explanations — they just need practices that feel good, safe, and engaging. CircleP gives them that.
CircleP was never meant to stay small.
It is one of the experiences I love bringing into new communities,
whether it’s a school, an NGO program, a shelter, or a group of parents
who simply want to share an hour of presence with their children.
