Mental Health Circle
Mental Health Circles at Om Mani are intimate group experiences designed to support self-expression, reflection, and connection through movement, mindfulness, and shared presence.
These circles are born from Sanskriti’s own journey and learning, gathered from years of learning with teachers and mentors across psychology, spirituality, embodiment, and holistic practices. They combine gentle movement, journaling, mindfulness, and ritual elements such as Cacao ceremonies, which invite openness, grounding, and community connection.
Each gathering is guided with sensitivity and care, tailored to the needs of the group, creating a safe environment where participants can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate emotional awareness through shared experiences.
“The power of a group is phenomenal in a healing space.”
~Dr. Gabor Maté
What Makes Mental Health Circles Unique
Whether with friends, family, or colleagues, these circles help groups rediscover the power of being together: moving, sharing, and growing in presence.
Movement To Connect With What's Present
-
Mental Health Circles incorporate movement-based mindfulness, encouraging turning inward for embodied awareness
-
These are not performances done for anyone else, but for ourselves. Participants are encouraged to keep their eyes closed to stay present with their inner experience
-
Gentle guided movements done in a safe environment help us break energy blocks that keep us stuck in survival mode and help us connect to the clarity within
Cacao To Support Your Heart
-
Cacao is a plant medicine and ceremonial beverage made from raw, unprocessed cacao beans: the purest form of chocolate.
-
Traditionally used by Indigenous cultures in the Americas, ceremonial cacao is known for its heart-opening and grounding qualities as it contains natural compounds that gently uplift mood and enable inner calm.
-
Cacao is shared with intention, as part of mindfulness and journaling in circle gatherings: to invite presence, gratitude, and authentic connection
Safe Space For Connection With Community
-
The final piece of our Mental Health Circles is providing a community-based setting that fosters support, understanding, and authenticity
-
We become ourselves through each other's vulnerability, and this is a very powerful space that enables us to bring our essence, our authenticity to the fore, helping us connect through our own embodiment
