Gupava Sharing Circle

A Guided Peer-Support Circle for Relationship Patterns, Self-Awareness & Cultivation

What Is Gupava Circle?

Gupava Circle is a guided peer-support meeting for women working through codependency, love and fantasy addiction, Adult Child patterns, self-abandonment, relationship obsession and the loss of personal agency. It brings together overlapping insights from CoDA, SLAA and ACA into one structured space for self-reflection, shared experience and ongoing practice. Rather than spending the meeting analyzing other people, we bring the attention back to ourselves: What pattern am I repeating? What is happening underneath it? What belongs to me? And what can I practice differently?

What Can the Circle Help You With?

The Circle explores patterns including limerence, obsessive attachment, approval seeking, people-pleasing, rescuing, weak boundaries, attraction to unavailable people, abandonment fear, emotional dependency, fantasy relationships, compulsive sexual or romantic behavior, difficulty identifying your own needs, losing yourself when a relationship becomes emotionally intense, and repeating family-of-origin dynamics in adult relationships. Unlike one-to-one therapy, consultation or energy work, a group creates its own chemistry: other members become mirrors who can reveal blind spots we may not be able to see from inside our own stories, while their experiences can give language and perspective to patterns we recognize in ourselves. Listening is also part of the practice. Addiction, obsession and emotional distress can narrow our attention around our own cravings, fears, fantasies and pain; learning to genuinely witness another person helps interrupt this self-preoccupation and trains our attention to move beyond ourselves. Because this process is held collectively, the cost is shared across the group, making regular participation more financially accessible and sustainable than relying exclusively on one-to-one work. The Circle therefore offers a multidimensional form of ongoing practice: we learn through being witnessed, witnessing others, recognizing ourselves in other people’s stories, and participating in the collective intelligence of the group.

How Is It Different From a Traditional 12-Step Meeting?

Gupava Circle is inspired by the structure and collective wisdom of 12-Step fellowships, particularly CoDA, SLAA and ACA, but it is an independent Gupava practice and is not affiliated with these organizations. Alongside 12-Step principles, the Circle integrates traditional Tantra, particularly feminine and non-dual frameworks such as the Mahavidyas and Sri Vidya. Instead of centering a singular paternal Higher Power or approaching transformation only through a linear model, Gupava Circle makes space for feminine archetypes, cyclical transformation, Shakti, embodiment, meditation, self-inquiry and the integration of spiritual and material life. This creates an alternative framework for women who resonate more deeply with Eastern, feminine and non-dual approaches to personal growth.

What Happens in a Meeting?

Each Gupava Circle follows a consistent structure so participants know what to expect while every meeting can explore a different theme. We begin together with an Opening that includes grounding and the core Gupava readings, followed by a brief check-in. The facilitator then introduces the Weekly Reading and an accompanying question for self-inquiry before moving into timed sharing. During sharing, members speak from their own experience without cross-talk, unsolicited advice, rescuing, diagnosing or analyzing other participants. We finish by reviewing the meeting together and closing the Circle.

Confidentiality & Safety

What is shared in Gupava Circle stays in Gupava Circle. Participants should not record, screenshot, identify or repeat another member’s personal story outside the meeting. Sharing is always optional, and anyone may pass without explanation. Gupava Circle is a peer-support and personal-development space rather than psychotherapy, medical treatment, crisis intervention or a substitute for professional mental-health care.
