CIRCLE WAYS FOR families
By engaging with the practices and principles of Circle Ways, relationships are strengthened, so when harm occurs, healing ensues.
A school that embraces circle practice honors all stakeholders—students, staff, parents, and community members—deepens understanding of content, increases empathy and collaboration, and addresses the evolving needs of the school community.
What we do with families
family circles
For couples, “nuclear,” and extended families, we train all members to engage in and sustain productive communication to meet the changing needs in a family life cycle. From celebrations of birth, rites of passage, and accomplishments to inevitable losses and grieving, all family members—even the youngest—learn how regular circle practice can bring joy and resilience through all of life’s stages.

Parent/Caregiver Group facilitator training
Our Parent Circle Facilitator Training gives parents an opportunity to learn facilitation skills to co-lead circles with other parents and to develop an independent, sustainable practice for traditional schools, homeschool communities, and families.
Family mediation
Mediation can be thought of as an informal conversation designed to solve a problem. When families find themselves stuck in seemingly unsolvable disagreements or discord, Circle Ways provides expert, neutral mediation to help family members have a productive dialogue, explore options, and negotiate resolutions.
