Fred said it well. There are probably any number of processes that people might refer to as "circle process." I am specifically referring to the process I learned from Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea several years ago. And I'm sure their teachings have evolved from the time I took the workshop in '96. I know they have added several booklets about circle process to their website. PeerSpirit provides an online guide to the basics of process at http://www.peerspirit.com/htmlpages/circlebasics.html In general, they base their circle process on a set of principles and practices that call people into conscious council. Some of these principles and practices include rotating leadership, shared responsibility for what occurs in the circle, setting a clear intention for the circle, speaking without interruption, bringing every voice into the circle, keeping track of commitments, respecting the energy of the circle and its continuity, utilizing creative responses to difficulties that arise in the circle, utilizing consensus in decision-making. It is a process than can be done with two people or with a dozen. It is admittedly harder to do with a larger group (>20) in some ways, but the principles of respect and shared responsibility do not change. Again, I would reference the book, Calling the Circle by Christina Baldwin and the PeerSpirit website http://www.peerspirit.com/ Best, Cheryl Charis-Graves Harmony Village Cohousing Golden, Colorado http://www.harmonyvillage.org -- Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field.
