Holding the Circle de Sandra Hawes

Holding the Circle: 3 Birds of Rhiannon

Autor Sandra Hawes Editat de Lesley Hart
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2026

Holding the Circle is for anyone who facilitates therapy groups, support groups, workshops, community circles or reflective conversations. The way you hold the space matters as much as what you do within it.

Drawing on her experience as a counsellor and group facilitator, Sandra Hawes MBACP explores the qualities that create groups where people feel safe enough to speak honestly, listen deeply and connect authentically. Combining psychological insight with practical wisdom, she shows that effective circle holding is not about having all the answers. It is about cultivating the presence, integrity and relational awareness that allows others to flourish. Warm, thoughtful and deeply grounded in lived experience, Holding the Circle offers guidance, encouragement and reflection for both new and experienced circle holders.

More than a practical guide, it is an invitation to become the kind of person who can hold others carefully, with compassion and humanity.

Notă biografică

I did not come to circle work through certainty. I came to it through longing, exhaustion, curiosity, heartbreak and the growing sense that many women were carrying far too much alone.Before I trained as a counsellor, I was already deeply interested in what happens when people gather honestly together. Again and again, I found myself drawn towards spaces where the usual performance of life softened and something more human emerged. Long before I had professional language for concepts like attachment, relational safety, or group process, I had already witnessed the quiet transformation that can happen when women feel genuinely listened to.Over the years, I held circles in many forms and places: around fires, in retreat spaces, in living rooms In ordinary rooms made sacred simply by the quality of attention inside them. Later, my counselling training gave me a framework for understanding more clearly why these spaces could feel so powerful. I began recognising in group therapy literature many of the same truths experienced circle holders had always known intuitively: that people heal relationally, that belonging matters profoundly and that honest witnessing changes what becomes bearable.My own life has also taught me about fragility, interruption, grief and beginning again. There have been seasons where life opened beautifully and seasons where it fell apart unexpectedly. Loss, illness, change and uncertainty have shaped me as much as any training ever has. Like many women, I know what it is to continue outwardly while inwardly trying to find solid ground again.Perhaps because of this, I have become less interested in polished versions of healing and more interested in what genuinely helps people remain human with one another. Not perfect. Not endlessly resilient. Simply real.This book grew from that place. It grew partly from professional experience, partly from years of sitting in circles with women and partly from my own ongoing search for spaces where honesty feels safer than performance.I do not believe circles solve everything. Human beings remain complicated, vulnerable and unfinished no matter how thoughtfully we gather. But I do believe something important happens when women are given room to arrive truthfully together, especially in a world that so often rewards speed, self-sufficiency and emotional concealment.If you are reading this because you are considering holding circles yourself, I hope this book reassures you that meaningful holding does not begin with perfection. It begins with attention. With care. With humility. With the willingness to stay present long enough for something real to emerge between people. That is where my own journey began too.
