Update Dec/22: There is a new version of this item available at https://marcbeneteau.com/rlpaper

Circling is a group conversation practice, and part of a rapidly-growing worldwide movement called "Authentic Relating". It is a unique developmental practice that is about "getting somebody's world", being seen and accepted for who we really are, and feeling connected to other human beings and part of a larger whole. Circling may also be our best modern-day hope for creating a kinder and gentler society, one that would be less polarized and more attuned to real human needs. And on top of all this, Circling is super-fun and very affordable!

The Circling and Authentic Relating Practice Guide is the most comprehensive digital resource available on the Authentic Relating movement. In addition to a practice guide with many examples of what to do and say in groups, it also contains a history of the movement, a section on precursors (which include Integral theory, Non-Violent Communication, and "we-space"), an extensive resources section, sample leader formats, and instructions for starting your own groups, either in person or online.

Note: this 2nd Edition has been updated and expanded. containing a new introduction, expanded chapters on Circling contexts, and a description of the powerful practice of Mastermind Circling

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding overview and circling guide!
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2022

I don't always write a review for a product but when I do it means I was very compelled to or inspired to as a result of what I received! This book has a little bit of everything I was looking for in order to discern some stuck points. I'm not new to circling nor AR but I am newer to facilitating and it was helpful to see Marc's framework for his offerings. The other small but mighty section I am finding most insightful includes the distinctions between the different schools of circling(in the appendix) If you are geared toward a present moment, alive, relational-field oriented style of circle and you find yourself circling on a platform/tradition with little or no emphasis on technique, (so kinda anything goes), it can lead to confusion and eternal challenges amongst participants as there is often no agreed context. So helpful to know! All this to say, thanks, Marc!! Rockstar work.

I recently attended my first Circling meetup. I was so moved by the depth and power of the practice that I was unable to sleep afterwards. However, when my wife asked me the next morning, “what was it all about?” I struggled to explain what I had experienced. Then I found this guide. Marc Beneteau gives words to what is hard to express in language, crafting a beautiful, compelling guide that distills the essence of Circling and draws many useful distinctions. In my estimation, Circling is an example of something the human spirit has invented as a catalyst for its own evolution – and this guide is a gift offered in service of this movement - a catalyst for the catalyst, you might say. Thank you, Marc Beneteau, for offering us this gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars It has already helped me improve my small group
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019
I am grateful that a book like this exists. I was a happy Berkeley-ite going to authentic relating groups all the time, but then I had to move to SC for unfortunate reasons. How to get my authentic relating fix? I had to start my own. This book supported me in that endeavor, and I am really glad i got it. I look to it all the time!

This book is written so beautifully balancing abstract concepts with practical applications. I have enjoyed reading the "theory" around circling and playing with the concepts in my daily life.
