Online Listening Circles | Safe Spaces For Growth & Reflection

Online Listening Circles Where your story is witnessed. Not fixed. Not judged. Just held.

A private, facilitated space to speak your truth, unpack your emotions, and be heard—without interruption, advice, or analysis. Just presence.

Facilitated Listening Circles led by Anaita

There was a time when I craved a space like this—a room without judgment, without pressure to perform, without the need to be “fixed.”
Just a quiet circle where I could exhale. Be held. Speak when I was ready. Or stay silent and still be seen.

That space didn’t exist.
So I created it—for you, and for those who are longing to feel less alone in their healing.

This isn’t group therapy.
It’s not coaching.
It’s something older, softer, and sacred.
A remembering.

If that’s what you’ve been searching for, I’d be honored to welcome you in.

With gentleness,
Anaita

What's a Listening Circle?

In a world of overexposure and under-connection, few spaces allow you to be truly heard.

Our online listening circles are intentional, trauma-informed spaces designed to honour your inner voice. No fixing. No unsolicited advice. Just the power of being fully witnessed in a sacred container.

You speak.
We listen.
And something inside begins to soften.

This is not a coaching session, therapy group, or productivity workshop.
It’s something deeper: a space to simply be.

How Online Listening Circles Works?

A Listening Circle is a group (3-9 people) where each person chooses between 3 roles:

The Speaker

Shares openly, without interruption or advice.

The Witness

Holds space with full presence and zero judgment.

The Listener

Summarizes what was shared, offering deep validation.

A Model Adapted from Online Listening Circles

Research says

Effective listening circles require skilled facilitators who can create a safe space for participants to express themselves without judgment2. The process emphasizes listening over problem-solving, allowing participants to share their experiences and feelings while fostering empathy and understanding within the group (IIRP)2. Listening Circles enhance active listening and encourage empathetic communication, establishing a secure space for individuals to share thoughts and feelings while others offer attentive, non-judgmental listening1.

Who Is This For?

You’re emotionally intelligent—but tired of holding space for everyone but yourself.
You’ve been through therapy, but you’re craving human connection, not more “work.”
You feel safe with structure but need less performance and more presence.
You want healing that’s gentle, not forceful. Reflective, not prescriptive.

Who This Is NOT For?

Prefer quick fixes or surface-level solutions.
Are uncomfortable with silence, stillness, or emotional depth.
Expect therapy, advice-giving, or traditional coaching formats.
Aren’t ready to hold space for others or be held with reverence.
Struggle with group dynamics and require one-on-one therapeutic care instead.
Dismiss the power of quiet witnessing and community presence.
Seek productivity over presence.

Frequently Asked Questions

You might still have questions—beautiful. This space is for honest answers, not pressure.

"I’m not sure I’ll fit in."

The truth? Everyone feels this way at first. But this isn’t a “cool club” where you need to perform, impress, or prove yourself. It’s a space where you come exactly as you are—messy thoughts, self-doubt, and all.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or dismissed, this space is for you.

"Pay What You Can? Is this a trick?"

Nope. No hidden fees, no guilt-tripping, no “surprise” payments later. Just honesty.

Some pay more because they can. Some pay less because they need to. Everyone gets the same experience. The only thing that matters? That you value what you’re stepping into.

💡 This is an energy exchange, not a freebie. If you’re investing in this space, you’re committing to showing up for yourself and others.

"I don’t like talking about my feelings."

Good news: You don’t have to. This isn’t therapy. No one is going to dissect your past or make you spill your deepest secrets.

You can share as little or as much as you want. Some people talk a lot. Some say just a few sentences. Listening is just as powerful as speaking.

💡 The goal isn’t to “vent” but to be heard in a way that helps you process life differently.

"I’ve tried support groups before. They didn’t work."

Most groups are advice-giving sessions. Everyone telling you what to do, how to fix your life. This is different.

No one interrupts. No one gives unsolicited advice. No one tries to "fix" you. Instead, you get to sit with your thoughts, be deeply listened to, and have them reflected back in a way that helps you gain clarity—without someone hijacking your experience.

💡 If you’ve never felt truly heard before, you’ll know the difference.

"What’s the difference between the Listening Circle & the WhatsApp Community?"

Listening Circle (INR 900 / USD 45 per month) – Bi-weekly, small-group (3-person) live Zoom/GMeet calls. It’s structured, intimate, and built for deep connection.

The Wisdom & Compassion WhatsApp Community (Pay What You Can) – A group space where we practice mindfulness, self-compassion, and emotional intelligence together. Less structured, but equally intentional.

💡 Think of the Listening Circle as a personal training session & the Community as a gym you can access anytime.

"How much time do I need to commit?"

Listening Circle – Just two sessions a month (~60 minutes each).
WhatsApp Community – As little or as much as you want. Read, reflect, or participate actively.

💡 This isn’t another “to-do” on your list. It’s a space that fits into your life, not the other way around.

"I’m scared of awkward silence."

Same. But here’s the thing—silence isn’t awkward when it’s intentional. It’s powerful.

When no one jumps in to “fix” what you said, it gives your words space to breathe. And that’s where clarity happens.

💡 Sometimes, the best thing you’ll hear in a Listening Circle… is your own voice.

"I don’t know if I’m ready."

You might never feel “ready.” That’s just how the mind works. But you don’t need to be perfect, fully healed, or 100% sure to start.

You just need a willingness to show up. To listen, to be listened to, and to explore what happens when people hold space for each other.

💡 You don’t need fixing. You just need to be heard. And that’s what this space is here for.
