Description
The circle process is an aboriginal and native way of being in relationship. Circles are used widely in these communities for resolving conflict and restoring community. In recent years the circle process has made inroads into communities and systems in the United States and Canada. Circles are being formed to help heal, support, connect, plan and problem solve within communities in ways that our traditional processes and methods of communicating have regularly excluded due to the nature of their structure. Whether circles happen at the kitchen table, or within classrooms and systems, the result is always a turning to one another that leaves us with a new understanding of what it means to be in a community. Its implications for what true democracy means and requires of us are powerful and great.
