What Is a Wisdom Circle?
A Wisdom Circle is a lightly facilitated, personal storytelling gathering -- a chance for 3-12 people, in a relaxed setting, to share their meaningful, memorable, real-life stories with each other -- usually focusing on a few pre-selected themes. Storytelling is voluntary. Some participants may choose to tell one or more stories. Others, may simply listen and get inspired. There are many benefits to a Wisdom Circle:
-- Builds connection and community
-- Increases empathy, confidence, and self-awareness
-- Provides an engaging forum for self-expression
-- Inspires, awakens, empowers, and energizes
-- Transmits life-enhancing insight and wisdom
-- Accelerates positive behavior change
A Wisdom Circle is not a class, seminar, workshop, or lecture. It's more participatory than any of those formats -- a way for people to share their own life-learnings with each other, through the medium of story, in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Bottom line, it's a no-pressure get together where real listening happens and everyone has an opportunity to dive deeper into what life is really all about.
