About this Event
Learn how to facilitate and hold a safe, equal, and transformative space for victim service dialogue. Rooted in traditional sharing circle practices, talking circles are a powerful tool for building community, navigating conflict, empowering voices, and allowing self-healing, without debate or cross-talk.
In This Training, You Will Learn:
- Space Holding: How to prepare a welcoming physical or virtual environment.
- Core Guidelines: How to introduce a talking piece and set group agreements.
- Circle Keeping: How to balance group dynamics, honor silence, and gently guide the process.
Who Should Attend: Victim Services staff, advocates, & associates, and anyone looking to deepen their communication and facilitation skills.
Wear comfortable clothing, leave your laptops and digital devices behind, and come join us for "Heck Yeah! It's Circle Time." Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided.
