Why Host a Community Circle?

Gather community | Discuss important issues | Respond to today’s challenges

Community Circles Address:

Community issues such as:

  • Polarization/Division

  • Natural disasters, including preparation and recovery

  • The rising cost of housing

Personal life transitions or challenges such as:

  • Climate Change Distress

  • Grief and loss

  • Entering a new life stage

Host or participate in a Circle if you:

  • Are interested in building community and connection

  • Feeling tired of the political process to find solutions

  • Trust the power of community to create locally smart responses

  • Want to do something to help, but are low on time and energy

  • 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
