The Connectors Circle: Practising Skills for Difficult Conversations

A facilitated practice space for navigating charged conversations across difference

The Connectors Circle is a facilitated, in-person practice space for people who want to build real skill in staying present during difficult, emotionally charged conversations โ€” across political, cultural, ideological, and personal difference. In a culture where conversation often collapses into debate, avoidance, or moral performance, this gathering focuses on how conversations actually function when the stakes are high.

This is not a panel, lecture, debate, or networking event. Conversation itself is the work. Participants co-create shared agreements for how disagreement, challenge, and emotion are handled, then practise exploring a participant-selected charged topic within that container. The emphasis is on inquiry rather than persuasion, understanding rather than agreement, and emotional presence without collapse.

All perspectives are welcome, but none are immune from examination. Identity is respected, while ideas and claims remain open to challenge. Strong emotions are expected and treated as information, not disruption. Clear facilitation and firm boundaries protect the groupโ€™s ability to stay in conversation; participation is conditional on respecting the shared practice, and safeguarding measures โ€” including removal if necessary โ€” are in place to support collective continuity.

This space is for those willing to engage with curiosity rather than certainty, hold conviction without immunity from challenge, and prioritise collective understanding over individual validation.

The Connectors Circle is ongoing practice โ€” imperfect, evolving, and willing to hold real stakes. Conversation isnโ€™t small talk here.
