However, Being With happens all around the Circle.

When adults delight in their discoveries, watch over them with confidence, share in their excitement, and step in with just the right amount of help, they ignite learning at its source. Curiosity deepens. Confidence grows. Persistence strengthens.

We will discuss the Supervisor as Bigger, Stronger, Wiser, and Kind Hands, the value of this for the supervisee, and how to use the Circle as a roadmap to track and meet the needs of supervisees. Participants will reflect on the presence of Shark Music in supervisory relationships - both their own and that of their supervisees - and consider how these moments shape the supervisory process. We will also explore the inevitability of rupture in supervision and the central role of repair in restoring safety, trust, and connection. Attendees will be asked to consider the value of providing secure hands in supervision as a means for supporting supervisees to do the same for their clients.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Circle of Security International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48398379122937,"sku":"July2026 Workshop","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/7403\/6473\/files\/july2026-workshop-erin-atkinson.png?v=1778700005"},{"product_id":"aug2026-workshop","title":"Aug2026 Workshop","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:transparent;color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eEvery COSP session holds moments where facilitators stand at the edge. A parent shares something raw, a memory surfaces, or suffering lingers in the room. In that pause, there is a choice: to stay on the familiar end of the board, or to step forward into the unknown. When a parent sits with a trauma story, the pull toward reassurance, advice, or practical solutions can feel like care. Often it is. But sometimes that pull belongs to the facilitator, a Shark Music™ response to the discomfort of sitting in pain without fixing it. This 60-minute workshop invites COSP™ facilitators to explore that distinction honestly, and to develop a more conscious, grounded approach to Being With™ in the moment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Circle of Security International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48699400323321,"sku":"Aug2026 Workshop","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/7403\/6473\/files\/deborah-harris-blush_2.png?v=1784830642"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.circleofsecurityinternational.com\/collections\/workshops.oembed","provider":"Circle of Security International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
