FAQ’S

COPILOT PROGRAM

  • Yes, absolutely! However space is limited to 22 spots at any given time.

  • Enrollment in the Mentoring Program provides you with 12 months of dedicated support. I am your Copilot and here for you! In addition to just having someone at your back for support and learning, over the course of the year you receive:

    • Twelve 90-minute individual sessions in order to personalize your support and learning. Many participants also use this time to develop their offerings. Brainspotting to address triggers or blocks can be part of these sessions as well.

    • Monthly 1.5 hour courses

    • Monthly 1.5 hour integration sessions

    • Access to the Circle Forth Basecamp - a private (not on social media) group where you can ask questions, share insights and inspirations, and be part of a supportive, creative, group of folks all dedicated to healthy, whole, vibrant groups, teams, communities…

    • Access to the Dream Shift Community - monthly Dreamwork with a global community of fellow dreamers!

    • A ticket to the yearly fall 4 Hour Intensive where we harvest the learnings from the year together and share with the wider public what we have been up to - spreading the love of inspiration, hope, and possibility far and wide!

  • The cost for the year is $2200. Payment plans and an $1800 option is available - no questions asked.

  • Individual sessions are at your convenience - I can meet days, evenings, weekends no problem.

    Monthly Courses are recorded and held the first Monday of the Month.

    Integrations Sessions are only recorded with the consent of the group as it does involve more sharing and support. They are held the 3rd Monday of the month.

    Times are:

    3pm Pacific/4 Mountain / 5 Central / 6 Eastern / 11pm UK

    Because we have some folks joining from Europe, I am adding some weekend morning times to support our European colleagues.

  • The best next step is to set up a free consultation. You can also email me with an additional questions,

COMMUNITY CIRCLES

  • The first step is to Request A Circle and coordinate timing.  Because they are held in person, there are a limited number of Circles each year so be sure to get on the calendar as soon as possible!

  • Absolutely. Ultimately, it is just about calling your friends and neighbors together to intentionally and respectfully talk about topics that matter. However and as we know, that is not always easy. If you are bringing people together and need some help planning or want some facilitation tips or even to debrief, I can offer mentoring and consultation support.  No one owns the process of circling forward together. But it does take some good facilitation and holding to be generative, particularly given the times we are living in.

  • Not yet. This may be an option in the future, but for now the focus is working with people in person, in their local communities.  This is actually one of the unique aspects of Circle Forth - I will do my best to come to your location so that the facilitation is locally attuned, locally rooted.

  • Your host will have the details on the topic and what to bring.

    You do not need to prepare anything - just bring an open heart and mind!

    If it is held outside you may need to bring a camp chair, hat, water, snacks, etc.

    You will have a chance to talk about the topic at hand, sharing stories, thoughts, feelings. You can expect time listening to and learning from your friends and neighbors. There will also be some solo time for the more introverted of you.

    There is no pressure to be or show up any particular way, other than respectful. Come as you are. If you have specific questions about the topic or other logistics, please contact your host.

  • It depends. Some Circles are open to the public and in that case it will be noted as “Open” and there will be a contact email address.

    Many are planned by the host who is bringing together friends, neighbors, colleagues. If you see a Circle that looks interesting but it is full or not open to the public, consider hosting one!

  • acilitation support should not be a luxury item. We are all in this together. If you do not want to host a circle, but do want to support the work, you can “Sponsor a Circle” to help further the Circle Forth vision, practice and keeping the work accessible to anyone. The typical value of such an experience would be $300 per event but any and all contributions are appreciated!

OTHER QUESTIONS

  • Yes! Mentoring , Rites of Passage Guidance, Brainspotting and some facilitation/consultation can all occur online. I also host occasional workshops on facilitation topics of interest. In terms of facilitation for your organization or any type of consulting to integrate livings systems principles into your group - we can look at that on a case by case basis. Some work lends itself well to online, but some situations are best served in person. Often a mixture of both can be effective.

  • No. Only the Community Circles are by donation. However, sliding scale options are available for: Facilitation/Consulting, Mentoring, Rites of Passage Support and Brainspotting.

  • Circle Forth is not a 501c3. However, there is a commitment to keep CRCs offered on a donation basis and to provide sliding scale options for all other services. Accessibility is a huge value of this work and so your contributions help keep programs and offerings affordable relative to how pricey experienced facilitation and consulting can be these days.

  • I hear you! Shifting into some new ways of working together can sometimes sound just a little too out there or trigger stereotypes. I have found ways to translate my work into a wide variety of situations and work cultures with a great deal of flexibility and adaptability. I’m happy to offer a free consultation to talk it through and see if I might be a good match for your group or organization.
