Description
Circle processes are tools for healing, conflict resolution, communication, and growth. This meet-up will start with a brief introduction to circle processes and circle keeping. Then we’ll dive into a circle together to learn hands-on about what circle processes feel like and to get to know each other better.
Professor(s) or Facilitator(s): Owen Daniel-McCarter, co-owner of Babes Bar, former attorney, and Circle Keeping practitioner
Owen is co-owner of Babes Bar in Bethel and was formerly an attorney in Chicago, IL.
