What are circles and why are they important?

Circles are an invitation to gather and strengthen our relationships through a process of open and constructive dialogue. Using circles in all of our spaces; schools, community meetings, political activism and workplaces creates an opportunity for all voices to be included, power to be balanced and differences to be welcomed.

Circles are a practice used by indigenous community’s all around the world to build relationships, celebrate life and death, strengthen community and much much more. Through the balance of power, circles can create spaces where healthy systems can be consciously practiced and co-created. Building a practice that informs us of how we can include and respond to each other in times of joy and fun as well as times of conflict and difficulty.
