Peace Circles Series
Peace Circles bring people together for open and honest communication about various topics in a format that draws shared value from each participant. Participants sit in a circle and Mashaun will share prompts and activities with the group. Going around the circle one at a time each participant has the opportunity to share their perspective; personal and professional.
Circles offer an alternative to contemporary meeting processes that often rely on hierarchy, win-lose positioning, and victim/rescuer approaches to relationships, decision-making, and problem-solving. The process is about bringing people together in a way that creates trust, respect, and individual and collective empowerment. The process works because it intentionally brings people together in a way that allows them to see one another as human beings and to talk about what matters.
