“We wanted to find the lightest structure that would help correct what goes awry in so many contemporary forms of meeting.” ~ Christina Baldwin, Ann Linnea, authors of The Circle Way
The Circle Way
A Four Week Online Class
To Introduce and Nuance The Components Wheel
AFTERNOON CLASS
FEBRUARY - MARCH, 2018
Many of us are eager to radically shift the way that we are together. With our colleagues, families, communities, and teams. We want the presence that comes from more authentic speaking, attentive listening, and meaningful actions. We know it it in ourselves. We see more evidence daily of a world in need.
The Circle Way provides a foundation, a tool beneath all tools, for collaboration and conversation. It is a way to tap our greatest strengths, individually and together. It is essential container to take on so much of what is escalating — the need for innovation, and the grief of letting go.
The components wheel is the invisible steering wheel of The Circle Way. When understood, it brings simplicity and vitality and strength to the practice of circle.
Our intent in this class:
Lift out the beauty, art, integrity, and strength of The Circle Way components in practice
Learn circle by doing circle to experience its depth and potential
Create further access to and with a global learning community
“I didn’t just gain the knowledge and skills to comfortably start hosting my own circle gatherings, I left with a full heart and a desire to simply be a better human being. I am practicing speaking with more intention, listening with attention and looking after the whole in various aspects of my life. Amanda and Tenneson are inspirational facilitators dedicated to their craft. I highly, highly recommend. ”

A note about the costs: This is our version of a sliding scale of price - more of an intent and energy than a strict financial formula. It means that the pricing we are anticipating from most is $275. We are trusting that the $325 (Supporting Community) will balance the $225 (Supported By Community).
“Tenneson and Amanda collaborate in an almost seamless fashion to provide participants with an introduction to The Circle Way process. They challenge each individual to reach deep and discover what they have to offer. While lesson plans were detailed and well organized, Tenneson and Amanda, were willing to use the dynamics of the group when a different learning experience presented itself. Their open minds and hearts allowed each individual to share their voice.”
Who this is for
This online class invites a range of experience level from those who are very new to circle to experienced practitioners ready to lean into the nuancing of the components.
Everyone who cares for the quality of conversations and the quality of relationships is warmly invited to participate.
We welcome global participants. This class will be held in English.
This circle practice particularly supports people...
Who are ready to discover a new culture of communication,
Who are looking for better solutions and for the capacity to allow collective intelligence to emerge,
Who want to explore the “Leader in Every Chair” approach in order to achieve more commitment, ownership, joy and sustainable solutions and decisions.
What is The Circle Way?
This online class is based on the book The Circle Way, A Leader in Every Chair by Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea. The Circle Way gathers people into a circular shape with participants at the rim and the purpose in the centre. Each person has a voice and everyone can see and hear one another. Social agreements and practices help facilitate respectful conversation. Circle supports a leader in every chair. Learn more about the process here.
