What is a Listening Circle?

A listening circle is a nurturing space where individuals come together to share their thoughts, feelings, and stories in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. It fosters connection, understanding, and respect among participants, creating a sense of community and belonging. There will be 3 rounds during the session, where each participant has up to 3 minutes to share in each round.
