Affection can be sincere and still leave someone hungry. A kind gesture doesn’t settle what the person receiving it needs. Camilla Wellton brought that difficult double truth into a Love Starved workshop at Third Place’s Circle of Her gathering on International Women’s Day, 8 March 2026.
The 8 March programme brought women together for workshops, music, performance and reflection. Camilla says she was invited to bring her I AWAKE work into the day.
Love Starved is a theme in Camilla’s book Living on Love Crumbs. It asks a sharper question than whether someone meant well: was the contact enough for the person receiving it? The answer may be tender, disappointing or mixed. Naming that difference doesn’t make anyone a villain; gratitude doesn’t erase a need that remains.
Camilla describes beginning by guiding participants into closer contact with their bodies and breath. She read a passage from Living on Love Crumbs about feeling love-starved, then explored a couple of prompts with the group. Participants reflected, wrote down their answers, shared them and closed the circle together. A page gives a reader privacy; a circle gives the question company. Neither can decide for someone what a relationship means.
Third Place is an alcohol-free bar and café in Stockholm. The event record sets out the wider Circle of Her programme.
