THE WITNESS CIRCLE

Get your story out

Let your story go

A different kind of ceremony

Welcome to an intentional space for experiencing connection.

Each of us has the power to influence and be influenced by the collective whole. Here, we have the opportunity to share pieces of our unique lives and reflect ourselves back to one another.

Though our stories may differ in the specifics, at the core we share a common narrative.

In The Witness Circle we embody the paradox that we are unique individuals and parts of a single organism.

Testimonials

  • "Jack has his eye on the ball. The experience of the Witness Circle is something that is greatly needed in our world and I can't think of a better person to usher it in."

    Kevin Ezeh, Community Activist + Investor

  • "Jack has created an opportunity for deeply intimate human connection in an online format. The intentions and container are simple and just enough to have safety to open and be as vulnerable as you can. I am always pleasantly surprised at how much we have in common with each other in the human experience."

    Kim Holden, Intimacy Coach

  • "A beautiful experience of human connectivity and practicing seeing and being seen. Jack masterfully guided the group through being present and protected throughout the session. I feel lighter, calmer, and grounded..."

    Ayla Bevan, Community Management Integration Specialist

  • "Being witnessed and witnessing others in their humanity, the highs and the lows, is a powerful experience. Jack is masterful at creating a space for others to feel seen and heard... I felt a true sense of connection with the other participants in the group."

    Hannah Chapman, Founder X² Wealth Planning and Expansive CEO

  • "Growing up, I wasn't seen or heard very often, if at all. The Witness Circle is a very intense, but healing experience. It allowed my body to get used to the sensations of being vulnerable and being seen."

    Ashley Cox, Founder, Nice Guy Reform School

  • "Jack masterfully guided this experience. He barely spoke, yet guided us so powerfully, contributing in the pivotal ways that are required to connect a group of strangers at such a high level, in such a short time. The world needs experiences like this. We need to connect and be seen at a time where isolation and disconnection are climbing."

    Blake Fly, 9-Time TEDx Speaker

  • "These sessions are a forum for engaging with the human experience in shades of glory and magnificent imperfection. People share vulnerably -- it is a heartwarming privilege to witness and to feel the ways in which we all work our way through life's uncertainties."

    Gabrielle Klatsky, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

  • "The Witness Circle is an experience which resonates with the most authentic part of your emotions. Both simple and unique, the format allows people to tell their stories organically and free from judgment while observers can feel the story as it acts as a reflection of themselves. Jack is incredible at holding space for participants in a manner which allows depth and truth while held in a container of safety."

    Paul Silva, Captain, Manager Deepwater Operations, Transocean, Ltd

  • "A safe space of great people where you can be reminded that anything you're going through, you are not alone in. You can see yourself in others, and that's liberating."

    Maya Kova, Love and Intimacy Coach

  • "The Witness Circle was a beautiful and healing experience that I would recommend to anyone. Not only does it help you to be seen and heard in telling your own stories, but to witness others be so vulnerable in sharing themselves was a gift."

    Danielle Jennings, Director of Logistics and Operations, Platinum Advisors

  • "The Witness Circle is the sweet spot in a long and busy day to feel connected to humanity again."

    Leora Ward, Humanitarian Worker

  • "Jack created a beautiful and safe space where I felt safe to share some heavy things I’ve been navigating in my life recently."

    Dominique D’Vita, Trauma-informed Coach

  • "The Witness Circle provided the opportunity for me to be seen deeply in ways I didn't even know I needed. The space that Jack created helped me feel safe to experiment and free my voice. I liberated shame, opened my heart, and left feeling ignited, inspired, connected and confident. The Witness Circle is a place to see ourselves in the other, and remember that there is no other."

    Serena V Amoroso, Somatic Nervous System Therapist and Embodiment Coach

  • "Sharing a personal story within the circle and being held, witnessed and loved in that intense vulnerability by all who were there was so nourishing to my soul, and quite unlike anything else I've experienced. I felt seen on a deep level, which is something I've been missing in my life."

    Dani Hurst Brown, Artist/Nature Alchemist

  • "A blessing everyone should take advantage of and benefit from.  I was able to move through some of my deepest issues around family and my own shame in a completely loving and non-judgmental environment."

    Max S., Producer + Talent Manager

  • "A facilitated space to practice lived oneness with others as a way to cultivate self-love and love of all beings in daily life. It is less about telling amazing or thrilling stories, and more of a space to see and be seen in a way that helps us create the higher consciousness world we want to live in."

    Lorna Stell, Intuitive Healing Guide

  • "The Witness Circle is a very powerful experience. The ability to witness another human being without having to take on the role of "fixer" is a beautiful gift for all participants. A very safe and supportive space. There needs to be more opportunities and offerings such as this one."

    Sherri Merino, Intimacy and Pleasure Coach

  • "I noticed so many thoughts arising for myself; this space feels radical, and so old, sharing stories, and who we are, listening and building and unpacking. Noticing that we aren’t here necessarily to make sense of what others are saying in the circle, more to make the space for them to hear themselves. The witness circle is the perfect name. It's a beautiful space to learn how others listen, to learn how someone else’s words pull and awaken what is there for me already."

    Kira Hunter, Fractional COO

  • "Participants are able to comfortably share the most vulnerable parts of their lived experience. I was astounded to find myself speaking words aloud that I'd not previously dared utter to another human, and even a few that I'd not yet fully admitted to myself."

    Kyla Attu, Intimacy, Pleasure and Potency Coach

“The Witness Circle provided the opportunity for me to be seen deeply in ways I didn’t even know I needed. I liberated shame, opened my heart, and left feeling ignited, inspired, connected and confident. The Witness Circle is a place to see ourselves in the other, and remember that there is no other.”
