Circles have been used for centuries by indigenous peoples to build community, resolve conflict, and promote respectful dialogue among people with differing points of view. More recently, circles have been used in business, human services, the legal system and education. Level 1 demonstrates the basic how and why of the circle method and is a prerequisite for Level 2 training. Level 2 will teach the skills on how to choose and convene the appropriate circle method for the group and facilitation skills specific to the circles process.
