What happened in the first circle was nothing less than amazing. The invitation to share from the heart created an energy in the circle that touched the hearts of all of us.

The demands on healthcare workers continue to accelerate. In the face of ongoing challenges, many find themselves in need of a space to process their experiences confidentially. Healing circles offer that space. They bring people together to share, listen, and reflect.
The U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory recently called attention a nationwide epidemic of social disconnection throughout all workplaces and communities and underscored its long-term human impact. Dr. Vivek Murthy says, “Social connection can transform our whole health and well-being.”
Healing circles for healthcare professionals
We invite you to join a circle for healthcare professionals. For a time, leave behind the burden and difficulties of your external world, make space for yourself, and come together with others to share, listen, and reflect. Your presence is all that’s needed.
These circles are ongoing and most are limited to 10 participants. Although circles are free, donations are gratefully accepted.

Reflections from our community
Please note
Healing circles are groups of peers who support one another through deep listening and compassion. Circle participants abide by agreements, including agreements around confidentiality. The volunteers who host healing circles do not provide medical or psychotherapeutic advice or treatment. Participation in a healing circle does not replace the care provided by a qualified healthcare professional.
