Soul Circles

“To build the world we want, and tear down the old one, we can and must start small.”

Andrea Ritchie

After 10 years of facilitating circles, I continue to be humbled by their transformative power. What happens inside a circle or intentional 1:1 can impact how we show up in the world.

Facilitation is an art form - but I believe that anyone can do it, with a little encouragement and a roadmap to inspire them to get started. I'm using digital design tools to create replicable, adaptable conversation guides to inspire people to self-organize; foster equitable communication so every voice is heard; and invite people in to make critical connections.

My current project: Soul Circles.

Text: What is a soul circle?... It's a way to take action and raise funds, inspired by movements for Land Back, reparations, abolition, and liberation... "These are the times to grow our souls." Grace Lee Boggs.

Join a pilot circle to experience the process for yourself! This offering is free - but I will ask you to make a donation and/or take action to support mutual aid and movement building.

1:1 circles last from 75 to 90 minutes, and group circles last from 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Are you interested in using transformative conversations to boost your fundraising, community organizing, or activism? Design a circle to support your cause!

If you're involved in organizing led by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, or young people, I can donate my time to help you design or adapt a circle for your community or target audience. You can keep the name Soul Circles or leave it - whatever works for you.
