Healing Circles is a programme of Commonweal, a four-star Charity Navigator non-profit, working in three core fields—health and healing, art and education, and environment and justice.
Healing Circles’ vision is to provide positive social support to anyone who asks for it. This takes place in small circles built on a framework that brings out the best in people. It encourages participants to treat one another with kindness and respect, hold one another’s stories in confidence, withhold judgment, and honour one another’s unique path to healing without advising, fixing, or rescuing.
Circle participants work together to explore the best ways to remove obstacles to healing, alleviate suffering, and deepen their capacity to heal. They also access their own inner guidance to determine where the greatest healing—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—can occur.
The Healing Circles learning community includes centres in Canada, the US, and Israel with new centres taking root in India, Switzerland, Thailand, and among groups of professionals, such as healthcare professionals and chaplains.
