73: Relational Gym, with Guy Sengstock & Dévashi Shakti

<p>What becomes possible when we stay relational, even through disagreement? In this episode, Guy Sengstock introduces Circling - a structured practice of vulnerability, self-awareness and attentive listening that can deepen relationships and community connection. We explore synergy, dissonance, and how to be upset without becoming defensive or forgetting each other’s humanity. It's a refreshing conversation between two leaders about the sacredness of relating - and the unexpected third space that can emerge when we seek understanding together.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>BIO</strong></p><p>Guy Sengstock is the co-creator of Circling® and founder and co-owner of The Circling Institute. Since developing the practice in San Francisco in 1998, he has spent more than 25 years teaching individuals, groups, and organizations to notice and work with what is actually happening between people in real time.</p><p>His work brings together relational practice, embodied awareness, philosophy, and the art of genuine dialogue. Guy also hosts Circling DiaLogos on YouTube.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="www.circlinginstitute.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.circlinginstitute.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Self study courses:</p><p><a href="https://circlinginstitute.com/self-study-programs/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://circlinginstitute.com/self-study-programs/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Live courses:</p><p><a href="https://circlinginstitute.com/programs/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://circlinginstitute.com/programs/</a></p><p>--</p><p>⁠⁠⁠</p><p><a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/beyondps" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎙️ send Dévashi a ⁠voice not⁠e⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Take the patriarchal sex research survey ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://forms.gle/rE6t64kmZpj89RaX7" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Connect with Dévashi on⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.facebook.com/devashi.tigress/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Connect on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p>@thetigresspath</p><p><br /></p><p>EPISODE CREDITS</p><p>Created by ⁠⁠⁠Dévashi Shakti</p><p>Music by Wendy Rule</p><p><br /></p><p>🐆</p><p>Dévashi Shakti is a leading pioneer of women's somatic nervous system wisdom, female embo
