2012 - Advanced Circle Training Continues...
In 2010, Ann and Christina released their legacy book, The Circle Way, A Leader in Every Chair. Starting in 2011, PeerSpirit began offering two levels of circle training for practitioners of participatory leadership:
- The Circle Practicum provides foundational skills and practice for facilitators wishing to add circle to their group process capacities.
- In high demand! Advanced Circle Practice focuses on challenges and sustainability for collaborative conversation for facilitators already hosting circles in organizational settings.
What is PeerSpirit?
In PeerSpirit, we create interactive social containers where transformation occurs. What do you need to transform? How do you want to honor your life story? How can you be the leader of your own life?
PeerSpirit’s co-founders—Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea—are well-known authors of books and essays on circle process, environmental education, journal writing, rites of passage, spirituality, and story. While these topics are eclectic, our original methodology, PeerSpirit Circle Process, informs all we do: from mountaintops to corporate headquarters, from writing retreats to vision quests, and in training, consulting, and mentoring. Learn more about us. We look forward to meeting you...
One conversation can change the direction of our lives and work.
A story can heal, inspire, and move communities to action.
Retreat in the natural world can restore our souls.
