MLA Circles
Safe, Guided, Inclusive Conversation & Collective Wisdom
Circle is the Guided Experience and Quiet Generosity of Witness
In-Person Meetings 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm MT
RESUMING Pending locations, guides and participants:
“If you could pick a topic, personal to you, to discuss in a group…what would it be?”
If you could name the conversation, in a safe, diverse, confidential container,
Where your peers were invited to talk about themselves instead of others,
To offer inclusive listening space instead of divisive judgments,
To speak from their hearts without fear of retaliation…
…What would they say? What would you say?
How might being heard change you?
What might you hear, too?
How might hearing our
Peers enrich us?
MLA Circles (formerly Peer Enrichment Circles) are free-thinking, conversational, private groups exploring collective wisdom on personally relevant interests. All people and all emotions are welcome. The result is a unique journey into self-growth, expansiveness, unity and relationship. Each MLA Circle is hosted by a trained MLA Circle Guide who will lead the group towards the question “What would you discuss if you could pick the topic.” and to find the blessings we experience when hearing others engage in our chosen conversations. Whatever group is present will weave together a confidential listening container for all to bring whatever is true and real.
MLA Circles will be hosted monthly in Denver, Thornton, Boulder and Fort Collins, Colorado, when permitted and as locations are available. Our online version of MLA Circles is not currently being scheduled; please check back here for future connections. Registration is not currently required. Drop-ins are welcome. Regular attendance is encouraged but not required.
If you would like to be a MLA Circle Host and/or Guide, please contact Teddy Churchill. The model for MLA Circles is very adaptable, allowing it to work well in a variety of locations and in a variety of interpretations. We encourage anyone in our community with a personal vision of meeting intentionally with others to step into creation, leadership and community through this model. Training for Circle Guides is simple, useful and required.
