Host a Community Response Circle

Scheduling now for 2024

One of the best way to get involved is to schedule a Community Response Circle. These are provided only in person and by donation. Once you have experienced the circle process, the seeds will be planted for you to take it and run, if you wish. Christi can then provide ongoing coaching, mentoring, and support as needed.

Gift it Forward

come together

to move forward

Groups and organizations (and people!) will sometimes go frustratingly round and round. Or, they charge ahead, missing important steps or insights. Either way, they often end up repeating old strategies and landing in more or less the same place where they started.

The Circle Forth vision and practice is centered around coming together and moving forward. Breathing in and breathing out. Connecting and then moving forth. The yin and the yang and all that is in between. Circling Forth includes individualism and community mindedness in balance.

Here are a few ideas to Circle Forth in your own life and groups.

Ways to Circle Forth in your own life and work

Call a Circle

When you are at your wit’s end, or perhaps even before, call together a circle of trusted people in your life. Let them know the purpose of the circle, share stories and food, be reminded that you are not alone.
Pause at the Beginning

Often we jump into business without taking just a moment to say hello to the human beings there with us. Pause, perhaps check in briefly, be clear about the intention of the meeting.
Clear Steps Forth

Even if it is one clear step for each person, make sure people understand how you are moving forward from this “circling up” of your meeting. Circles combined with movement are one of the keys to becoming “unstuck” and add energy to your project.
All Voices Heard

Introversion, marginalization, organizational hierarchy, microaggressions all can lead to people being overlooked during discussions. Yet, the quietest people sometimes hold an essential key forward. Create strategies for equitable input.
Literally Sit in a Circle

Rows of people lend to talking AT one another instead of WITH one another. When possible, arrange your group in a circle. It may take a little getting used to. Ultimately, it makes for a better meeting and has a humanizing effect, potentially reducing interpersonal conflict.
