When You Shine We Shine
TESTIMONIALS
Thank You!
We sincerely want to thank each sister for joining us on this journey.
We Shine when You Shine!
Before the Circle, I was very anxious and confused about my career.
Shine Circle helped me to let go of my worries. I gained clarity about the steps I want to take in my business life.
I now have a new perspective on the issues that I felt inadequate about.
My self-compassion has increased.
and I'm calmer, more centered.
I'm working on letting go of wanting to control everything.
Joining the Shine Circle has been a very productive journey for me. Every week for 10 weeks we learnt and practiced new methods . I enjoyed a lot the sisterhood and the safe, judgement free space where I felt free, loved and supported.
It was very pleasant to get away from everything for 2 hours each session to practice mindfulness and to focus on mysself development.

I am a shy person, I usually do not feel safe to talk about myself in a group setting . Yet Shine Circle made me feel safe and confident. I was able to speak and often I was the first to speak!
I am grateful to the Shine Circle for giving me this comfort.

Shine Circle is an invaluable opportunity to discover One’s own power and to learn how to live a more fulfilled life.
I found myself telling everyone around me about the things I learned in the Circle.
and every person who listened to me had the same reaction: “Wow!”

Shine Circle helped me to start acting like a grown up woman owning my power. I was able to contact the wise and joyful Serannur within me and to restore my inner balance.
Before the Shine Cİrcle;
- I was a confused procrastinator, I gained clarity and confidence.
- I was overly reactive, worried about others' opinions and I used to get easily offended. Now I realize that I was also acting like a victim. Now I am centered, I have the courage to be vulnerable, to speak my truth and to receive help.
- I was overweight and I lost weight! I transformed my eating habits and my relationship with food.
During 10 weeks, 10 sessions I had a breakthrough at almost every session

The Shine Circle was like a sanctuary for me where I detoxed my toxic beliefs and habits.
I improved my listening skills and my ability to express my true feelings and worries.
I reconnected with the little girl in me which is like regaining a valuable part of me that I have left behind years ago!
It was very striking for me to notice my masculine and feminine sides, and to realize how my emotions, thoughts and behaviors effected by them. I am learning to balance my feminine and masculine energies and to be centered consciously.
Thanks to the Shine Circle, I am now much more flexible, calm and peaceful. Thank you!

Shine Circle is much more than sisterhood support . It is very precious to be able to get such a high quality professional coaching in a safe and supportive environment.
From the very first session, Shine Circle helped me to gain a better understanding about myself and my relationships.
I gained the courage and wisdom to set myself new healthy boundaries and to activate the adult strong woman hidden in me. After the circle I am a more balanced centered woman able to balance my feminine masculine energies.

Before the Autumn Shine Circle I was suffering with high anxiety
and low self esteem issues
Now I appreciate myself in many aspects (my job,, my motherhood, my femininity) I show compassion to myself and I do dedicate time for me and myself without any guilt. İn fact it feels good and my family is also happier.
Getting in touch with my inner little girl helped me reconnect with myself and my family .
I stopped holding on to the pain from the past and learnt to let go.
Sharing within the group was also very nice.
I am creating a new “I” from within.
I am like a tree sprouting in the spring.
I am rediscovering myself, noticing and starting to live and appreciate myself.
My perspective on life is changing and so is my life. I am so glad that my path crossed with Arzu and Deniz.
I can't thank enough for all the things I have learned, the things I have added to my life, my awareness, my new friends and support groups!
Shine Circle is one of the best gifts I ever gave myself!
Thank you Arzu and Deniz!

I did not expect that I could adapt the practices to my daily life so much.
You are very strong.
I felt very safe.
You are so inclusive and caring.
You explain the contradictions very well.

I was already familiar with Arzu's inclusive and authentic approach, life experience, successful career in coaching and personal development.
In the Circles, I met Deniz's masterful and compassionate coaching, and her deep and effective meditations that I easily channeled.
This secure sharing environment is a very important value for me, I really benefited from it.
I must say that I was very impressed by the sincerity and Arzu and Deniz's mastery on their subjects, as they created this environment.

Now I am connected with myself and I make my decisions accordingly. I had forgotten my potential, I was in contempt for my work and myself, and now I got rid of it.
I kept repeating the past. Once I connected with the little girl within me during the Autumn Circle, I started to change and take action.
Relief came, I let go, I calmed down, I made peace with myself.
I was able to establish the body-mind connection.
When evaluating 2020 all of my achievements and awareness had AUTUMN CIRCLE. It turns out that 2,5 months is worth a year, even all the years I've spent without realizing it.

It was very impressive for me that from the very first session, everyone was so open to each other, as if they had known each other for a very long time.
The activities you did, the framework you drew, the assignments you gave were all very awareness-raising.
You have given me a lot in terms of awareness and self reflection and I have learned a lot.
It is very valuable for a woman to realize herself and her strength, and to be able to empower other women.
It is a study where you can get to know yourself better, see your parts that scare you without getting hurt, and support awareness-raising.

That’s how it was for me!

Autumn Circle was a journey that I embarked on with very brave women I had never met under the guidance of 2 wonderful women.
Now I have methods that I can apply when I have difficulties in daily life.
The Circle also made me realize the importance of prioritizing myself and showing self-compassion, and this awareness has also been good for my family, friends at work and those around me.
I experienced my greatest enlightenment when I suddenly found the answer to a question that I had been uncomfortable with for a long time, during a practice in the Circle.
It was a problem for me to deal with my anger, I started to look at the cause of my anger and so I started to calm down.
I started to re-find myself and my own worth, which I had forgotten since birth, and I started to prioritize myself.
I started to be able to set limits and say “no” to other people.
I started to feel and enjoy the energy of life, now I look to the future with more hope.
My favorite practices are “Who am I?” and “Well done to Me!” 😊.
I am more prudent, calmer, more optimistic now.
Mostly to myself...

First awareness kicked in, then resistance to my awareness.
Slowly the transformation began.
Best of all, it happened naturally , gradually, without effort, step by step.

The safe space created was very valuable for me; because we were able to be vulnerable and to connect with each other as if we were very old and close friends
The energy, the sincerity and the approach of Deniz and Arzu are all very effective in our transformation.
Also it is so valuable to be practicing so many tools that can be applied in every day life.

Who am I, what is my purpose, what is my reason for being in the world?
I was in a vacuum and I was very confused.
Shine Circle came into my life just in time helping me to discover my life purpose.
Thanks to the circle, I am becoming a very content and happy woman, happy to be ME!! :)
I have never asked myself before the question "what is my dream?"
Shine Circle gave me a new direction for my career, helped me take new decisions and supported me to take action!
Women's Circles really work! Once a sceptic I am now a believer in woman circles and in sisterhood.
Thank you.
