THE PURPOSE OF THE CIRCLEWORK™ TRAINING

The purpose of the Circlework™ Training is twofold: First, to deepen your experience and knowledge of the circle as source of healing, wisdom, and support, and second, to empower you to share the gifts of Circlework with your community.

This training is suitable for any woman who wants to learn more about group leadership, and about bringing greater spiritual awareness to groups she already leads or participates in. The principles of Circlework™ can be applied anywhere: in business, in the healing arts, in ministry, in working with children and adolescents, in psychotherapy and counseling. Prior experience in personal growth work and spiritual practice is desirable but not essential. Each participant will receive the support she needs to clarify her personal relationship to the circle and to Circlework™, identify and overcome her challenges, hone her unique gifts, and acquire new skills. Apart from knowledge, skills, and tools relating to circle leadership, she will receive in-depth guidance and support to move through daily life in a state of centeredness, harmony and balance.

The Circlework™ Training consists of an introductory week-long workshop. To ensure the quality of the training, all trainings are limited to 15 participants. For dates and rates, please refer to the enclosed schedule and registration form. If you are interested in participating in the Circlework™ Training and are economically challenged, we invite you to apply for a partial scholarship by contacting the Institute for Circlework.

The Circlework Training is open to all women interested in deepening their experience and understanding of Circlework™. The six day long training includes theoretical sections and discussion, as well as hands-on experiential practice. You will explore your personal relationship to the circle and identify your challenges and your calling in working with circles. Subjects addressed include boundary and safety issues, creating sacred space and invoking spirit, the historical development of Circlework™, the geometric elements of the circle, working with ritual, symbol, and myth; Circlework™ and the healing of the feminine, and the role and challenges of leadership. Each participant will receive the support she needs to clarify her personal relationship to the circle and to Circlework™, identify and overcome her challenges, hone her unique gifts, and acquire new skills. Apart from knowledge, skills, and tools relating to circle leadership, she will receive in-depth guidance and support to move through daily life in a state of centeredness, harmony and balance.
