If we change the chairs, we can change the world
Every day most of us encounter needs for healing, for hope, and for helping. Every day there is need to learn to go better together. To follow our simple hunches, yet to dare to dream transformation. 

In all our regions and communities, people are  called to heal our lands, our families, our relationships, and those we work with. Sometimes it is reconciliation. Sometimes it is evolution. 

Every day, most of us are called to pay attention to the  global and at the same time to those in front of us. It's big work that needs to be done well.

The Circle Way  provides a foundation, a tool beneath all tools, for collaboration and conversation, for thoughtful speaking and attentive listening. 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 Circle Way   is a way to tap our greatest strengths, individually and together. It moves us forward by bringing us back to the centre of what we already know.
