Communication Circle Testimonials

“Communication Circles create a space in which people can find their own voice. A voice that is not one of these loud screaming ones that we are used to hearing in our heads, but the silent one that only speaks through the heart. It’s wonderful to experience that with others and share the energy of the heart that we all have within us. An energy that doesn’t need to be created, only awakened.” Angelo Meijer

“I initially registered for the Communication Circle with the intention to improve my own communication with my partner. Although I learned some useful hands-on tips, I also enjoyed connecting with the same group every week - even over Zoom, getting to see their smiling faces and feel their positivity was a treat. The circle listened without judgment, through many emotional expressions - and had only positive, uplifting responses that built connection. Ultimately, the Communication Circle gave me a deeper appreciation for others, an awareness of my own communication style, and a gracefulness in receiving others' generosity. It is a safe place to be genuine in the way we connect with others and ourselves.” Arleigh Dudar, Vancouver BC

“The Circle gatherings helped me to connect more fully with my heart and to express what was there. I felt safe in the small group, yet the experience stretched me too. Each session became increasingly more therapeutic. I find I am getting to know myself in a deeper way. I am now more confident in expressing my truth in both casual conversation and in the small group that I am now facilitating. The Practicing Presence Speaking Circle experience continues to have a positive effect in my life long after the sessions ended.” Sandy Herbert, Vernon BC

“The Communication Circle has been a very special experience for me. Not only has my confidence level increased when speaking to a group but I have learned to speak much more from the heart than the head, resulting in a much more present, meaningful experience. The change has been profound! Both speaking and listening skills have dramatically improved. Maggie creates a learning experience that is both exhilarating and safe at the same time. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in building self-confidence and honing interpersonal skills.” David Grigg, Vernon BC

“As a speaker it was a great opportunity to learn to be more fully present with myself and with the audience/participants when I speak. The biggest learning I had was when we were given the challenge of “not rehearsing” or thinking of a topic before we spoke. It was amazing to get up and speak without anything pre-planned and have it flow so easily and effortlessly. I would recommend Maggie and the Communication Circles to anyone who wishes to communicate more effectively and to speakers who want to ‘improve their game.” Pamela Thompson, #1 Best Selling Author, Speaker, Life & Business Coach 

“I no longer feel any shame or resistance in expressing what I honestly feel. This has transformed all of my relationships and especially with my boyfriend. I now have the courage to express myself clearly and openly without hesitation… no more beating around the bush… no more need to explain or prove myself… no more stuffing feelings down and choking over them. My boyfriend and I are in awe at the transformation in our relationship. We no longer blame and take things personally. We listen respectfully to understand one another. He finally gets what I’ve been feeling and trying to express for a long time but was unable to before. I feel accepted through my honesty. The Truth does set me free! I have become a much more easy going, honest person.” Lyudmilla Kormich

“I loved these opportunities to share and listen so deeply, I was surprised at my own progress and how it seemed to speed up my processing and understanding and about the ease I felt in being open and speaking about my life and experiences. I looked forward to the meetings and attended a second time after the first series ended. I found it helpful at opening new perspectives and empowering me in my life, and I would recommend it to anyone!

The circle of men and women touched my heart and expanded my understanding of being authentic. I felt closely connected with others by being present with myself and sharing my life experience. I trusted that the group was a safe and confidential place to say whatever was up for me in the moment.

I am more aware of myself, have more insight into what is important for me, and know how to relate with others in a genuine way. Thanks Maggie for the opportunity to be heard and feel connected.” Lynn Malinsky, Peachland BC

“I was really nervous about starting the Communication Circle. I was NOT comfortable speaking in front of others or even drawing that much attention to myself. I never was able to speak in front of a group and have them listen to me. Not only did I learn to speak up during the circles, I now speak up for myself and contribute to conversations everywhere I go. It feels like wholly different dynamics now. I embrace new situations and laugh harder and longer with friends and family than ever before.” Debbie Klimosko

“From the first gathering of the Communication Circle I knew and felt I was in the perfect place. Even though I didn’t know most of the other participants, I felt very comfortable and at ease right away.

At the beginning of each week, I was able to quickly connect to my heart center supported by Maggie’s gentle loving guidance. I soon discovered the precious value of listening and giving feedback to people when I stay focused… hearing them with my heart. Each day I continue to use this teaching whenever I think of it and I love to see others respond in kind. I discovered so much value in connecting with others at a deep soul level by allowing myself to open up and be authentic in a safe environment. I now know that my inner strength and power are accessed best when I allow myself to be vulnerable and speak from my heart instead of my head.

Thank you Maggie for creating this opportunity to get to know myself and others in such a deep compassionate way.”  Dianna Watson
