Discussion circles allow 8-12 people to learn together from a discussion guide of short essays, sharing ideas and experiences in an egalitarian and supportive environment.
Each week there is opportunity to put "theory into action", as participants discuss how the readings apply to their own lives. Circle members often commit to brief "action items", which they want to try between sessions. A final "Wrap Up" session is devoted to "next steps" that the group or individual members hope to do once the circle is complete.
Different discussion guides are available including "Global Warming", "Menu for the Future", "Choices for Sustainable Living", "Voluntary Simplicity", and "World of Health". Click here for a overview of the 5 discussion circle topics.
