About Shara

Meet my relateful-sister, Shara. This loving soul basically learned to meditate while in the womb and hasn’t stopped since! Shara grew up in an intentional spiritual community in Iowa and her lifetime pursuit of self-knowledge, presence, and conscious connection most definitely primed her to become a power-house Circling facilitator.  

In 2015 Shara participated in Circling Europe’s first ever SAS leadership and facilitation training in the United States and, for me (like so many others when they meet her), it was love at first sight! I knew right away that I wanted to be her friend… or maybe I should say I wanted her to be MY friend!

Lucky for me, we began to have many opportunities to connect with each other since Shara joined the team early-on (there were only 5 of us back then!). She dove deep into facilitation, becoming part of the leadership team through many immersions, facilitator trainings, and events. She also gives her extreme attention to detail and skill in bookkeeping wizardry to the smooth running of the company.

As a friend and as a facilitator, Shara demonstrates sensitivity, loyalty, gentleness, silliness, reliability, and depth. I’ve had the great pleasure (and sometimes pain!) of her lovingly challenging me to look more closely, to be more with what I’m experiencing, or to get out my sword. I love being with her when she brings her well-tuned and fully stocked toolkit and magic to others too.

I’m lucky to call her a friend, a comrade, and part of my chosen-family.  I trust you’ll feel lucky to know her too.

PS - Shara is both brilliant and gorgeous but don’t get any ideas. She is happily married to an amazing guy who she met through Circling. They live together in the UK and Shara has begun to occasionally sound like Dame Judy Dench.
