COMMUNITY TALKING CIRCLE
This is a group dedicated to conscious community and combining our wisdom as fellow human beings. The intention of the circle is to provide a space of healing, sacredness and empowerment; to connect through our transparent and organic selves. In our group we aim to be inclusive, embracing all spirituality and walks of life.Gatherings will include a talking circle that is confidential and sacred. These circles are a gift to our society. The groups inspiration is its members - how we can come together as individuals and empower each other as a collective.
The talking circle is primarily based on Community Building (a model developed by M. Scott Peck), Native American talking circles and wisdom circles.

What is Sacred Community?
Sacred Community has been around for many years. Talking circles in particular have been an integral aspect of native cultures and societies and have developed over the years, continuing to be held in modern communities. It can often be a powerful, challenging and beautiful experience.
​Circle culture is alive and supported by various groups and cultures around the world.

"FCE (Foundation for Community Encouragement) was founded in December 1984 in response to a need for community as perceived by one of the founding members, Dr. M. Scott Peck, author of 'The Road Less Traveled', 'The Different Drum', and 'A World Waiting to Be Born'. Lecturing throughout the country, Dr. Peck found vast numbers of people and organizations expressing a longing for, and a lack of community in their lives. Along with eleven others, Dr. Peck formed the foundation to spread the work of community building as a means to address this deep yearning for authentic human connection."
