The Colorado Connection Collective began as a gathering of seven friends who met through the advanced training programs at The Circling® Institute (TCI). Deeply influenced by the teachings of Guy Sengstock and TCI, our shared experience in this transformative work laid the foundation for our connection. 

While some of us already called Boulder home, others were drawn here by the growing sense of community and possibility. Our initial desire was simple: to host Circling events and create spaces where authentic connection could flourish. The response was overwhelmingly positive. What began as a handful of gatherings quickly revealed a deeper calling. We wanted to offer more—not just Circling events, but a broader range of experiences that reflected our own growth, insights, and aspirations. 

United by our commitment to this work, we founded the Colorado Connection Collective. Our events are grounded in the principles of The Circling Approach and authentic relating, while also embracing the diverse perspectives and practices we’ve each explored. From day one, it’s been a collaborative effort—each of us bringing our own strengths to the table, shaped by our dedication to fostering meaningful human connection. 

Mat, Jake, Jordan, Kate, James, Roberto, and Alex proudly stand as co-founders and core facilitators. Together, we continue to grow, learn, and create spaces where people can discover the profound beauty of authentic connection. 

We’re honored to share this journey with you.
