What is The Circle
Not a new experiment

People don't pass through. They stay.

In a market where most people quit within a month, this is the number we're proudest of.

2–3 years

The average time a member stays in the Circle. Many stay far longer.

40 years

Of practice behind the method — not a format invented last year.

~5%

Of people stick with a meditation app past the first month. Alone is the hard way.

Is this you?

You'll know in a few lines.

If two of these are you, you're in the right place.

How it works

What you actually get, week after week.

Nothing here is a metaphor. This is the concrete shape of a week inside the Circle.

1 Every week
01

A live meeting — up to two hours

The whole circle together, live. Not a webinar you watch: a room you're in.

A teaching on growthYour questions, answeredSharing from the groupPractices done together
02

Practices to try during your days

You leave every meeting with something small to experiment with in real life — at work, at home, in the conversations you were dreading. The following week you bring back what you found, and the group builds on it. This is where reading turns into living.

03

A platform where all of it lives

  • The community — chat, a map of where members are in the world, and spaces to share what you're working on
  • Every live meeting — recordings, written notes and audio, ready whenever you are
  • Extra content — podcast episodes and videos beyond the weekly meeting
2 Inside the weekly meeting

What a typical gathering looks like.

No two meetings are identical, but most move through the same simple arc:

1

We arrive together

A short meditation to settle, drop the day, and become present as a group.

2

Everyone is heard

A round where each person speaks — and is truly listened to, without rushing to reply.

3

A teaching

Anaconda opens a theme and sends you home with something small to try in your week.

4

Your questions, live

You bring what's real for you right now, and get honest, direct answers.

Can't make it live? Every meeting is recorded and waiting in your library.

Our approach

Knowing what to do is easy.
Actually doing it is the hard part.

On your own, what you read in a book fades by Tuesday. The Circle closes that gap.

1 Why it works

Three things that only work together.

The Method

You practise it

Every idea comes with something to do this week — not just understand.

The Rhythm

You keep at it

A weekly meeting and a daily beat keep you going — gently. Not more effort; a rhythm you can hold.

The Community

You don't drop it

People doing the work beside you. You share what you tried — so you don't quietly give up.

Method + Rhythm + Community = the change that finally lasts.
2 The method

We never just explain.

Here's how a single idea becomes part of your life — one small loop, repeated:

1

Learn

A simple idea, in the weekly meeting.

2

Try

Something small, this week. "One breath before you answer."

3

Notice

What changed. What surprised you.

4

Share

You tell the circle what happened.

5

Adjust

You refine it — and go again.

↻ and repeat, week after week. That loop is the method.
What actually changes

This is what you're really here for.

Not more ideas in your head — a different way of living your days. Over time, this is what members feel shift.

Steadier under pressure

When something hits, you find your feet faster — instead of being swept away by it.

Calmer relationships

You stop snapping at the people you love the way you used to, and old tensions start to soften.

A quieter mind at night

You fall asleep without replaying the whole day, again and again.

Kinder to yourself

Self-criticism loosens its grip — and it quietly changes everything else.

Who holds it

Every week, someone who has walked this for forty years.

Paolo Rivosecchi
Founder & teacher

Paolo Rivosecchi — “Anaconda”

Paolo leads the Circle himself, week after week. Forty years of yoga, meditation, hypnosis and community life sit behind what he brings — but what you'll notice first is simpler: he listens closely, says the true thing, and makes you laugh while he does it.

He opens the theme, answers your questions live, and mirrors back what he sees. This is the part you can't get from a recording — and the reason people stay for years.

Paolo's site and one-to-one sessions →

And he isn't alone.

A team of experienced practitioners holds the circle with him — facilitating, welcoming newcomers, and keeping the rhythm between meetings.

Real voices

Real practice. Real change.

Members who've kept the rhythm for years — in their own words.

"For the first time in my life, I have control of my attention — and where you place your attention is where you live your life. It's even easier to wake up in the mornings."

— Georgie

"The morning centering practices helped me regain presence and closeness to myself. As presence grew, self-criticism dissolved — and most of my relationship difficulties eased."

— Storno

"Not just a class — an experience that brings you back to who you truly are. I'm a more attuned mother, a more thoughtful leader, and a woman who moves through life with more clarity."

— Terri, Colorado

"It shifted the way I speak to myself, and with others. An eye-opening, soul-nourishing experience."

— Sara

"I realised I'm no longer a 'yes sir' employee. I've grown confidence in my own voice — an indirect benefit I never aimed for."

— Elena

"Three years here have been a path of profound transformation. It didn't only give me teachings; it gave me a way of living."

— Tao

"It helped me recover gently from a burnout, and grow from it. A playful, safe space to explore — and the courage to restore my dream."

— Thibault

"The weekly beat becomes a longed-for appointment — antibiotic for the most fragile parts, and vital for the parts that long to shine."

— Artemia

Common questions

Do I need any experience?

None. You begin with The Art of Attention, which gives you everything you need. Come as you are.

Is it religious, or a belief system?

No. It's not something to believe — it's a practice of attention and honest relating. Take what serves you, leave the rest.

Do I have to share publicly?

Never required. Sharing is an invitation; many start by simply reading others. You choose your depth.

How much time does it take?

One live meeting a week (up to 2 hours, recorded), plus whatever daily rhythm you choose — from a few minutes up.

What if I miss a meeting?

Every meeting is recorded and kept in the library. The rhythm bends to your life.

When do you meet, and in what language?

Once a week, in the evening (CEST). Circles currently run in English and Italian, with German, Spanish and Russian on the way — you join the one that fits your life. Every meeting is recorded.

What happens right after I join?

You get a welcome message from a real person, your access to the Circle space and the library, and the date of your first live meeting. Someone will be looking out for you that first evening — nobody arrives unnoticed.

How big is the circle?

Bigger than a workshop, smaller than an audience — the Circle is built to hold around fifty people well. Some meetings open wide around a theme; others break into small groups so everyone gets to speak. Either way, you're a person here, not a number.

How long do people usually stay?

On average two to three years — many considerably longer. It isn't a course you finish; it's a rhythm you keep for as long as it serves you.

Can I leave?

Anytime, no questions. Come and go as your season asks.

You don't have to hold it all alone.

Come and keep the rhythm with us.

What comes after

Some people don't just want to practise. They want to carry it.

The Dandelion Circle is the path for members who feel called to hold circles of their own — to facilitate, to guide, to bring this work to their own corner of the world. Training, mentorship, and a place in the team.
