Courageous Meeting: The Circle Way

This workshop connects The Circle Way as methodology, anchored in structural aspects of The Circle Way's Components Wheel, and, The Circle Way as way of being and cultural practice. It is founded in and grown from the work of Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea's, The Circle Way. This workshop is guidance and teaching that supports practitioner application of circle, for the many circumstances where container is needed to be with the intensity of our times -- in conflict, tension, and in reactive polarities. We integrate four themes and practices through four online time periods -- designed to grow skilled practitioners. Being Circle -- We start with "being" so as to animate the feeling of circle, the feeling of connection, the feeling of showing up together from a rim to a center. Doing Circle -- We continue with some key structure found in The Circle Way Components Wheel, to help encourage not just hope of a good circle, but practice grounding conditions. Inviting Circle -- This third session takes on some of the worries and fears that come with hosting circle, and pivots to courage and hope found in the simple act of clear invitation in both words and being. ​ Integrating Circle -- Our concluding session invites bringing insight of the whole to your first next steps. It invites us to be skilled noticers together to influence helpful and grounded hosting. Together we will learn in circle, connect in circle, ask questions in circle, and reground both structure and inner being. ​
