Circles
A circle is a structured communication
format, providing a safe place for all voices to be heard.
Guided by a circlekeeper, a participant
speaks from the heart while holding a talking piece.
The other engage in compassionate listening.
The Circle process begins with its members
identifying values. Each participant then commits to
honor these values while in the circle.
The Circle's first two stages are getting
acquainted and building relationships. Participants
share stories and personalize the conversation into the
final two stages, which address an issue and identify what
actions must be take. |
