SUMMARY:Peace Circle
DESCRIPTION:Peace Circle is a place of building community\, where the emphasis is listening to others\, responding to prompts or questions that addresses issues of personal concern or places of division and separation in our lives. Some themes that arose in a previous Peace Circle were concerns of health\, mortality and family. For many it was beginning to know others on a deeper level\, without being intrusive. This is a non-cross talk format. In order to allow for adequate personal space\, the group will be limited to 14 participants. \nREGISTER HERE: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4CA4AA2BA0FF2-57319033-peace
