Have you been dreaming of building community & connection?
Learn how to facilitate trauma-informed talking circles in your community
DEVELOP YOUR CIRCLE FACILTATION SKILLS
Talking circles can be transformational on a personal, community and global level. They are an ancient form of connection, starting in the simplest way; huddling around a fire. Circle gatherings can be simple and happen spontaneously. They can also be elaborate with layers of ceremony.
The truth is there is no one right way of holding a circle space. By guiding you to understand the needs of your community or the people you wish to support, an understanding of the components of a talking circle needed to create a strong container and the skills to manage group dynamics, you will be confident in providing the most valuable resource: connection.

"I loved the course, it was informative, interactive and inspiring. I finished the course totally inspired to hold a circle for menopausal women to help build community and fight isolation in our increasingly automated world. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in starting to learn how to facilitate circles."
