LLH member, Kathy Wolf, will be facilitating "Share Circles" once a month starting June 5, 2025. The circles will be offered in-person on the first Thursday of each month in the conference room just down the hall from the LLH office at the Warren Real Estate building at 830 Hanshaw Rd.

Everyone is welcome!

The Share Circle is based on the practice of Active Listening.  It is personal sharing in a safe space. There is a facilitator.  We sit in a circle.  Each person has an opportunity to speak at least once as we go around the circle.  Everybody listens to the speaker with attention.  We strive to give the speaker our whole attention, not thinking about what we intend to say during our own turn.  There is no give and take, no response, no advice, no commiseration.  When the speaker is finished, the next person in the circle has the opportunity to speak.  We are patient and respectful.

Whatever is said is confidential in the group ... NOT to be talked about outside the group.  Not to be talked about with anybody either within or outside of the group.  It stays in the circle.  If  something is said which sparks something in you, when it is your turn, it is fine to share your story, your feelings, your issues ... but not to relate it to the other person's story/feelings/issues.

From Kathy Wolf (facilitator) 
"I have felt this as a powerful way to be heard without judgement.  And I've seen it be very powerful in allowing other people a safe opportunity to say things they haven't said and need to."
