ALI HEPPELL SAYS
" The first circle I ever attended I was early. I checked over the event a billion times to make sure it was the right place and time, I felt super unsure. I walked into this beautiful place and nervously got myself a cuppa and sat down. The space was just amazing. I had never experienced anything like that before. And it still feels really moving."
