This book lays out the structure of circle conversation, based
on the original work of the co-authors who have studied and
standardized the essential elements that constitute circle
practice. It takes readers through a circle visual (the
Components of Circle) and presents both structure and story so
that readers understand how these elements come into play and
how they interrelate and interact. It also embeds circle
process experience in stories and examples drawing on the
authors’ 15 years of experience as global thought leaders and
originators of this form, and it presents detailed instructions
and suggestions for getting started, setting goals, and solving
conflicts.
