Testimonials from our Circle Facilitation trainings:

​

“Thank you so much for running this course. It was really good to have it over a period of time and to get to know everyone deeper and deeper each time. Such a welcoming green space to be in with heartfelt people and leaders. It was a joy and I will definitely come to more. So good to have different people leading each time and Heidi always there to hold us. Thank you for all the amazing work you are doing.”

 

“I wasn't sure what to expect before I attended my first circle. At first I thought that I had over committed in regards to attending all of the workshops. Once I entered the Glades I felt a real sense of calm and anticipation. My concerns about what to expect were quickly alleviated thanks to the care of the facilitators and the content within each workshop. The workshops were fun, dynamic, considered , engaging and much more. I know that I will be able to weave the circle practice into my mentoring and community projects. The people I met were always approachable , actively listening , generous with their knowledge and compelled to help influence change within our education system. Looking back I am surprised by just how fast the weekly workshops passed by and the final workshop helped me to practice and action what I had discovered and learned. Circles need to be considered as a valuable practice /recourse that should be part of any educational curriculum . Thank you to everyone who was part of this inspirational experience and for sharing their talents and gifts.”
