From Assumption To Curiosity
With Karolina GladychWe are always assuming. About ourselves, about other people, about how life works. Most of the time, we don't even notice — our assumptions feel like facts, like simply the way things are. But when we begin to see them — really see them — something opens. This short course invites you to develop a more conscious, more curious relationship with your assumptions. Drawing on awareness practices from mindfulness and the relational tradition of circling and authentic relating, we explore two parallel paths: an inner practice of questioning the stories we carry about ourselves, and a relational practice of checking our assumptions with others — learning to ask, with genuine curiosity, whether what we are perceiving is actually true. In four lessons, you will: - Recognize how assumptions quietly shape your inner world and your relationships - Explore the assumptions you carry about yourself — and try on something more spacious - Learn to check assumptions with others in a way that builds real connection - Discover what becomes possible when you meet life and people with genuine not-knowing If you have a meditation practice, you already know the quality of awareness this course invites. We are simply bringing it into relationship — from the cushion into connection. Image by Pexels from Pixabay

Karolina is a psychologist, coach, and group facilitator with over 15 years of experience, working at the intersection of somatic nervous system regulation, depth psychology, and relational practice. Alongside her individual work, she has been practising and studying circling and authentic relating for several years — relational modalities that explore what becomes possible when we meet each other with genuine presence and curiosity. She is currently training as a facilitator at the Relational Leadership Academy at the Connection Institute. She works bilingually in English and Polish, both individually and with groups, in person and online, and creates spaces where people can meet themselves and each other more fully.
