An invitation to think about something you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time but haven’t done yet.

Circle. Talking Circle. Ever heard of it? Or experience it?

I have recently started organizing Talking Circles for women. It is an online gathering. It is a safe space to talk without any judgment and criticism. It is for sharing our stories. Being heard and seen — our true selves. It is about connecting to ourselves and the others. Being a guest to other lives. Also, It is about vibrating some energy and gratitude together.

I ask 2 questions in the circles. Invite women to share their stories, experiences, thoughts, inner talks, and critics to answer the questions. Openly, honestly, and bravely.

One question I asked in the circle:

“Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?”

Not prioritizing dreams because of x, y, z in life. Not having enough courage to realize them. Not having dreams anymore... All of us have our own reasons.

Dreams… How many of us have dreams? Dreaming every day? From time to time? Maybe, just once in a while? Regardless of its size, big or small…
