Circle Conversations
The purpose of Circle Conversations is to provide training about Circles. It's a place for women new to Circle to come learn, and a place for those experienced in Circle to hone their skills and knowledge. Format varies from a presenter sharing about a specific topic and then having small break-out Circles to discuss it, to having a brainstorming session. At the end, women are invited to share what is happening in their own, local in-person Circles.

"When a talking piece goes around the circle, the person who holds it is invited to “speak with intention”. Everyone else is invited to “listen with attention” and not interrupt or ask questions. Everyone in the conversation is invited to “tend the well-being of the circle”. (Those are the three practices of The Circle Way.)...Heather Plett
