Circle FAQs
What is a Circle?
The Circle process is a relational practice used to bring a group or community together to explore important life events, to learn, to heal, or to resolve differences.
How does a Circle work?
In Circle, everyone has equal voice and speaks in turn, and no one speaks over the others. A Keeper assists in creating brave space where participants are able to show up honestly and openly without disrespecting others. All of our Collective Keepers are trained and experienced Keepers.
How many people are in a Circle?
Our Circles are intimate, typically with no more than 10 people depending on the topic being explored.
