5 Things to Keep in Mind When Creating a Healing Circle

1. Self Check-In

Check in with your own emotional capacity to hold space for others.

2. Create Intentional Space

Who and how are you inviting folks to join?

Is the physical space welcoming, safe and accessible?

3. Remember That Everyone has Something to Contribute

You are a guide not the boss

4. Co-create Agreements that Foster Safety, Tenderness and Kindness

One person speaks at a time

What we say here, stays here

Use “I” statements

Contribute to creating collective safety

5. Provide Support Tools for Healing Beyond Your Circle
