title: Talking Circle
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A circle process where a talking piece is passed so each person speaks in
|
|
turn without interruption. Rooted in Indigenous North American traditions
|
|
and widely adapted for restorative and dialogue work.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Open the circle
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A keeper opens by explaining the guidelines: speak only when holding the
|
|
talking piece, listen deeply, speak from the heart, and respect all
|
|
voices equally.
|
|
- headline: Pass the talking piece
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The keeper passes the piece to one side; each person speaks when they
|
|
receive it and then passes it on. Anyone may pass.
|
|
- headline: Honour silence
|
|
description: >-
|
|
When the talking piece returns, it may be placed in the centre. Silence
|
|
is welcomed; the piece can be picked up by whoever is next ready to
|
|
speak.
|
|
- headline: Close the circle
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The keeper formally closes, often with a brief reading or a moment of
|
|
silence, acknowledging what was shared.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
Participants experience equitable voice and deeper listening; the circle
|
|
builds a sense of shared community and safety.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Choose a talking piece with meaning. The keeper keeps the circle safe but
|
|
does not direct content. Allow enough time — circles move slowly by design. |
