This workshop is based on the teachings from the book The Circle Way – A Leader in Every Chair, by Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea.

The Circle, or council, is an ancient form of meeting that has gathered human beings into respectful conversations for thousands of years. The Circle Way is a methodology that calls on this ancient tradition and helps people gather in conversations that fulfil their potential for dialogue, replenishment, and wisdom-based change.
