Entering a new life stage
Host or participate in a Circle if you:

Believe the Earth and living systems can offer good ideas
Christi Strickland is one of the best group facilitators I have ever met. She has a sincere interest in the group, its predicaments, and what might be keeping it from accomplishing its goals…Her work is fresh, noninvasive, deeply perceptive, and on target.
-Trebbe Johnson, Founder of Radical Joy for Hard Times
Community Circles differ from other group and individual gatherings. They are not:
Brainstorming sessions
Geared towards unified solutions that we all must agree on to move forward
A therapy group
Never-ending process without movement forward
Government or politically based
Only for extroverts and activists
To discuss your unique situation and understand more, reach out to Christi
Would you like to hold a Community Circle in your area? Christi will be providing Circles on location and by donation - sharing this practice in response to current challenges, and in preparation for the unknowns ahead.
