The Circle: The Art of Letting Go
An intimate circle as a modern ritual to slow down, speak our truth, and remember our shared humanity.
What are Soul Salons?
Self Salons are soulful gatherings for curious minds, seekers, sensitives, and visionaries who long for depth and real connection. For those who believe more is possible. Who know that all real change begins within.
👉🏼 What is "The Circle"?
Since the beginning of time, humans have gathered in circles... around fires, under trees, in temples and living rooms... to speak, to listen, and to remember who we are.
Native American talking circles used the fire as witness, where each voice carried the same weight. In African palavers, resolved conflict and restore harmony through dialogue. Even in Ancient Greece, philosophers sat in circular forums to reflect, debate, and seek truth.
It is one of humanity’s oldest technologies. A space to share from the heart and to be witnessed without interruption or judgment. A place where listening becomes an act of love and being heard becomes medicine.
Each gathering begins with one simple invitation: What is alive in you right now?
From there, we move through stories, silence, insights, and emotions, taking turns talking around the circle and allowing it to unfold.
Every edition explores a different theme, allowing new perspectives and emotions to emerge each time.
In This Edition: The Art of Letting Go
On theme with el Día de los Muertos (the Mexican Holiday 'Day of the Dead'), we will be sharing a story of death or letting go. It can be symbolic death or a real one: Of people, of relationships, of identities, of roles, of anything.
We will celebrate the beauty of endings and letting go as an integral part of life.
