Drawing from our past

Totem’s Circles are inspired by the talking circles indigenous cultures have used for thousands of years. A talking piece, or totem, was passed from person to person in a circle.

People spoke only when they had the totem, creating spaces where everybody’s voice was heard.

I appreciate having a space to express myself and not feel the need to validate or respond to others.

I'm so glad I came, this is exactly what I've been needing.

It was the best experience.

YES!!! I love the safe space that was, created.

Keepers guide you through the practice of Circles

Keeper is a term we use for moderator. They provide discussion topics and prompts for Circles. Keepers also maintain the safe spaces where participants take turns listening to people tell their stories and sharing their own.
