About Open Circle Sundays

Open Circle Sundays is a recurring community gathering for internationals, expats, and curious souls living in Athens. A space where conversation goes beyond small talk and connection has room to become something real.

Each edition is facilitated by Georgiana Darău, an integrative therapist specialising in intercultural experience and emotional wellbeing, and founder of Nomad Soul Therapy. The circle is designed to feel safe, unhurried, and human — a place where you can arrive exactly as you are, without needing to explain or perform.

This is not group therapy, nor is it a networking or dating event. It is a space to slow down, reflect, share openly, and connect with yourself and others in a more meaningful way.

 
This edition’s theme: The Versions of Me

Who am I when I’m not trying to be who others need me to be?

We’ll explore the different versions of ourselves we create to belong — the ones we show, hide, and adapt depending on where we are and who we’re with.

Through guided prompts, reflection and meaningful conversation, we’ll create space to look inward and connect beyond the usual small talk.

 
What to expect

A welcoming and intimate setting in the SoulGood Space
A gentle check-in — how are you, really?
A creative icebreaker
Guided prompts for deeper, authentic sharing
Space to listen, reflect, and connect at your own pace
2 hours together in a private room to allow for more privacy and intimacy

The Open Circle is facilitated by Georgiana as a professional therapist, but it is not group therapy. It is a safe space for reflection, openness, connection and mutual support.

After the Circle, you’re welcome to stay at YellowSquare, grab a drink and continue socialising with the wider community. Friends and others can join afterwards without attending the Circle, and the Empathy Game will be available for anyone who wants to keep connecting.

If you’ve been in Athens for a while and still haven’t found your people — or even if you have, but you’re craving a Sunday that feels slower, deeper, and more real — this space is for you.

Come for the connection, stay for the community. 🤍
