What is The Circle Way?
The Circle Way is a lightly formalized, lightly facilitated social structure that allows people to use circle process in a wide range of settings.
Our purpose is:
to mainstream circle as a shift in how organizations and communities’ function and work together.
to grow a diverse inter-generational community of circle practitioners promote racial, gender, disability, ethnic, economic, and environmental justice.
to incubate and accelerate the growth of circle practices.
We do this through an array of support resources and services that includes:
hosting circles
small grants related to circle work
networking connections through the Global Colleagues, the Practitioners Facebook group, monthly blog and newsletter
booklets, guides, videos
To support this work, The Circle Way is a 501©3 not-for-profit organization founded in 1998 and registered in Washington State on the northwest coast of the United States. In keeping with the teachings of The Circle Way, we have not developed a hierarchical structure. Instead we work collaboratively, in a relationship of reciprocity, generosity and trust, to promote the work through this site. We invite you to meet the board here.
We hope that you will spend some time seeking answers to your questions, learning more about our global colleagues and what they offer, and finding resources to help you.
