What is an Integration Circle?

Integration Circles are one of the most effective ways to deepen the impact of your Mindbloom program. They are free, live Zoom sessions where a small group of clients (typically 3–7 participants) come together, guided by a trained Mindbloom facilitator. These circles provide a structured and supportive space to reflect on your experiences, explore integration practices, and connect with others who understand the process.

Conversations are gently guided by the facilitator and may include:

  • reflecting on recent sessions

  • exploring emotions or insights

  • building integration practices and habits

Types of Circles

In addition to Universal Circles, Mindbloom offers themed circles that bring together clients with shared experiences, including:

  • Universal

  • Women’s

  • Men’s

  • LGBT+

  • Grief

  • PTSD Healing

  • Meditation

These themed spaces can offer a deeper sense of connection and relatability.

Logistics

  • Circles are 60 minutes (Meditation Circles are typically shorter)

  • Offered daily across a variety of times and available to active Mindbloom clients

  • Bookable directly in the app under the Community tab or through the Mindbloom portal.

You can attend multiple circles throughout your program, and many clients find regular participation especially helpful for integration. We recommend booking the circles you plan to attend and adjusting in advance if your schedule changes.

Is sharing required?

Sharing is always optional.

You’re welcome to participate in whatever way feels supportive; whether that means actively sharing, listening, or simply being present. Facilitators provide prompts to guide reflection, while honoring each person’s pace and comfort level. Meditation Circles are more passive and focused on guided practice rather than discussion.

What to expect in the space

Integration Circles are designed to be:

  • respectful and supportive

  • focused on the integration of your Mindbloom experience

  • grounded in curiosity and personal reflection (rather than advice-giving)

This helps create a safe and meaningful environment for everyone involved.

The benefits of group Integration Circles

There are several benefits for your healing process that are unique to group integration circles. These include:

  1. Shared Experience with Others: Realizing that you are not alone in your journey, that others are with you and supporting you, serves as a great motivational force throughout the rest of your integration period.

  2. Being Witnessed & Understood: Being seen as you share, by others, with loving compassion, is healing in itself. To speak your truth — however messy — and have it received by a group may help to shift longstanding negative stories you may have about yourself.

  3. Exposure to New Perspectives, Insights, Experiences: As much as sharing, listening to other stories is just as powerful. To hear the experience and insight of others is a heart-warming experience, and may provide insight for your own process and journey.

  4. Holding Space & Having Space Held: Being a true support for another person is a beautiful gift to give, and is a meaningful part of the healing journey for many people. Additionally, receiving the love and support of others reminds you that you are also supported in this journey.

  5. Articulating Your Experiences, Emotions, Ideas: It’s hard to know what you feel and think until you attempt to put it into language. What you say may surprise you! Group circles provide a safe container to speak your truth into the world and articulate your inner world.

Note: Your monthly payments are on a fixed schedule and are separate from your session pace. Completing your final payment does not end your program — you can continue booking self-led sessions and attending Integration Circles at your own pace until you choose to mark your program as complete in the app.
