The Orion Project

On October 17th I attended the Mixed Circle | Finding Safety in Each Other organised by the AFLORA and Orion Communities and facilitated by Karen and Dragos. It became a wonderful time together, a time in which there was safety and a space in which I felt we could speak openly and listened respectfully to each other. A true gift, really appreciated and with much gratitude towards all participants and the Karen and Dragos as organisors!

It was a beautiful and heart opening experience. Dragos & Karen really managed to set the circle up in a way that felt safe and very insightful. We came as strangers and left hugging!

Such a beautiful and special experience! The Mixed Circle hosts manage to create a warm, welcoming space where you can truly connect with yourself and others!

A men circle areound a real fire is rare in Amsterdam, and that alone makes it worth it. Warm, well-held sharing with genuine brotherhood in the container, clear intentions, good people.
Personally, I tend to want more than pure sharing: more process and more challenge. But it's excellent at what it sets out to be, and if a fire and honest sharing is what you're after, sign up.

The organiser is very skilled at holding genuine presence and creating a deep and meaningful experience.
It is very special and needed to have an authentic space with other fellow men, and this space is the perfect place for that.
The fireplace and Duduk background music are a cherry on top ;)

It is absolutely essential to slow down from time to time in this high speed life rally. Dragos & Andrew gave me the space where I could do that, they’ve created a place where I felt safe and comfortable to reconnect with myself and being able to find along other brothers who share similar interests and values. As a man, we need the space where we can go deeper and talk with intention with other brothers, and this space is one of them!
I gotta mention the activities involved, carefully selected and prepared, have made the time spend there to feel like seconds, I enjoyed the experience and I’m excited to attend other ones!
Well done men’s!

I have attended twice a men's circle facilitated by Dragos and Andrew. These are very nice and personal events that create a safe space for sharing; I enjoyed the listening to the stories of other men. The setup really invites a feeling of belonging. It is great to be part of this movement.

Een mooie, zeer verzorgde middag (in het Engel) met twee zeer betrokken begeleiders op een hele mooie locatie! Het onderwerp werd zorgvuldig vanuit een oude mythe aangeraakt en had volgens mij nog wel wat meer tijd kunnen gebruiken, m.n. het gebruik van de Tarrot kaarten. Persoonlijke kanttekening: ik had wel enige moeite met de akoestiek van de ruimte.
