For over 35 years, Circle Ways’ evidence-based work has centered the unique gifts each individual brings to schools, families, organizations, and communities. Circle practices remind us that knowledge is not a commodity, that no one is expendable, and when there is harm, there must be healing. In circles, we turn toward each other at times of celebration, challenge, life transition, loss, decision-making, and the need for collaborative action.
Our Circle Ways Team trains and coaches school staff, students, and parents/caregivers to develop sustainable, systemic processes that serve both academic and interpersonal needs. We also work with organizations to bring member-honoring creativity, decision-making, and accountability, and with families to foster compassionate connection throughout the lifecycle. Circle Ways also provides skilled, neutral facilitators for conflict mediation, co-creation and hosting of Circle Celebrations, and design of Circle Spaces to create environments that encourage turning towards each other with open hearts. In addition, we offer live and online workshops for facilitator training and professional development on a variety of facilitation-related topics to keep your circles fresh and responsive to the needs of all participants.
FREE monthly educator circles, scheduled for US time zones and for friends in Europe and the Middle East, support practitioners at every stage of development.
