title: Passing Circle
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A round in which each person has the explicit option to "pass" — to say
|
|
nothing — without explanation or penalty. Used in check-ins and
|
|
sensitive discussions to preserve voluntary participation. Common in
|
|
peer support, restorative, and feminist consciousness-raising circles.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Name the option to pass
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The facilitator explicitly names at the start that anyone may pass
|
|
when their turn comes, and that passing is not a statement.
|
|
- headline: Go around
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Each person in turn speaks or says "pass." The facilitator does not
|
|
ask why, nor treat passing differently from speaking.
|
|
- headline: Offer a second round
|
|
description: >-
|
|
After the first round, the facilitator offers a second, so anyone who
|
|
passed may speak if they now wish. No obligation.
|
|
- headline: Close
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The round closes when all who wish to speak have spoken. Passing is
|
|
not tracked or revisited unless the person offers.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Each person participates at the level they choose, with voluntary speech
|
|
preserved even in sensitive contexts.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The option to pass must be real, not theoretical. If passing attracts
|
|
attention or concern, people will speak to avoid notice, and the form is
|
|
lost. |
