​The Circle Way provides essential foundation for collaboration and conversation, for thoughtful speaking and attentive listening. It is a way to tap our greatest strengths, individually and together. It is a needed space to take on so much of what is escalating and what we are waking up to. It moves us forward by bringing us back to the centre of what we already know.
