I would count it as a friendly discussion but there are a lot of different ways to have a friendly discussion.
It’s a discussion about understanding what it’s like to be the other person. What it’s like to be them right now.
But it’s difficult to express what it’s like to do circling via text. It’s similar to how I can’t tell you what it’s like to dance Salsa when you have never danced.
Different people can observe different things. There’s intimate sharing about how people feel like. People speak about what they feel. Sometimes they cry.
Now I wish someone else who also has done it would add their two cents...
(I have been present at something that I think was similar, and it didn’t work out for me—the rest of the group knew each other much better, and I felt like the sore thumb half the time.)
Followed your link; what is it they do? Something like friendly discussion?

But I am not asking you what if feels like. I only ask you what an outsider can observe.
