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 container 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.
In this workshop we will explore the components of circle as a way to create an environment for being and working together that is authentic, intentional and productive. The principles and practices of The Circle Way encourage genuine contribution and creativity, and the experiential design of the workshop will build our capacity to navigate uncertainty, complexity, and conflict.
