What are Circles?
“Circles provide the space in which we reveal ourselves, uncover our core humanity, and allow others to feel, know, and touch us. We can’t walk through the sacred space of Circles and emerge as we were. We are deepened, and from those depths, we find the power to create our worlds anew – together.” (Pranis, Stuart, and Wedge. Peacemaking Circles: From Crime to Community, 2003)
Since ancient times, people have been sitting in Circle to discuss difficult and emotional issues. They’ve also come together in Circle to reflect on and celebrate various occasions and individuals. Through the many uses of Circles; one common thread is community. Through the recognition and participation in Circle, the community can deepen its level of trust and understanding. Circles can help transform conflict, create trust and heal damaged relationships, build stronger teams, empower individuals, enhance personal accountability, and facilitate creative problem-solving.
