Start a Circle

Start slowly.
Gather with care.

Anyone may practice privately. Public Circle status begins with readiness, review, and accountability.

A Circle is

  • a space for reflection, repair, and mutual care
  • a group with clear agreements

  • a church franchise
  • a therapy group
  • a place for forced confession
  • a private authority structure
  • a way to collect unofficial donations
