Circle Process

The Circle Process is a method for fostering inclusive dialogue and decision-making among a group. It involves participants sitting in a circle, emphasizing equality and respect. Each person shares their thoughts or feelings, typically using a talking piece that allows only the holder to speak, ensuring everyone gets a turn. This format encourages active listening, understanding diverse perspectives, and building community. The Circle Process is often used in educational, community, and organizational settings to facilitate effective communication and resolve conflicts, aiming to create a collaborative atmosphere where all voices are valued.
