What is Circling?
Circling is a group conversation practice that usually lasts an hour to an hour and a half, involving 3 to 9 people. Circling is part of a rapidly-growing worldwide movement called "Authentic Relating". It is already available in over 70 cities, and from anywhere via online webconferencing.
Why Circle?
Circling is a unique developmental practice that is about "getting somebody's world", being seen and accepted for who we really are, and feeling connected to other human beings and part of a larger whole. Circling may also be our best modern-day hope for creating a kinder and gentler society, one that would be less polarized and more attuned to real human needs. And on top of all this, Circling is super-fun and very affordable!
What will you learn in this book?
This book will guide you, in a short (handbook) format and with many examples, into Circling effectively. It is a compact introduction to a relational art form that you can practice in all of your human relationships, both in and out of formal Circles.
2nd Edition - Nov/2019
The 2nd Edition is cleaner and better organized. Some content has moved to the web and other content has been expanded. I provide more context for Circling and also cover the powerful new practice of Developmental Circling.
