What is Calm Connect?
If you or another parent is finding life challenging or overwhelming, Calm Connect is ready to help.
We are proud to be a reliable source of comfort, warmth and belonging.
Listening Circle Set Up
We come together and share our 'positives', complete a grounding exercise, then onto our parenting tools and sharing. Next we go off into Listening Partnership. Continuing with regrouping to share self compassion practices. Finishing with things we are looking forward to before closing the circle.
Listening Partnerships
One partner goes first. Other partners listens with warmth, by nodding, acknowledging with comments like 'I hear you', 'yes'. When times up, check if your partner would like a question and swap and repeat with the other partner.
The circles leaves each participant with a lighter, more connected self with an extra special sense of belonging.
* Confidential - there is no reference to what others shared.
* Non judgmental - a place to be heard, held and feel understood.
* We hold the belief that all parents and all children are trying their best.
* No fixing, no advice, or sharing stories.
* All feelings and emotions and expressions are welcome: upset, rage, anger and crying, swearing, trembling, laughing, sweating. No talk is necessary, it can be just movement or sounds. All these are ways to help release and heal.
Please contact us to join our Listening Circles.
