What Healing Circles Offer

The Flow

Train → Support → Sustain

Facilitator Training

We begin by training your team members in the fundamentals of hosting and holding healing circles. This experiential program introduces the principles of peer support, psychological safety, and the art of deep listening. This training empowers participants to host circles with compassion and confidence. The curriculum is designed specifically for healthcare professionals and adapted to the pace and culture of clinical environments.

Mentoring & Support

After training, we offer guided mentoring to help new facilitators refine their skills and navigate real-world dynamics. Mentors with extensive healthcare and circle experience provide personalized support, co-hosting guidance, and feedback. This stage ensures consistency, builds internal confidence, and helps mitigate burnout among emerging leaders.

Customized Implementation

We work with your organization to integrate healing circles into your systems in a sustainable way. This includes consultation on team readiness, institutional alignment, scheduling models, and integration into existing frameworks. Our goal is to ensure circles can scale with integrity and care.

How can Healing Circles help your team?

“As a director of an organization Healing Circles offers a way to shift into being of service in a deep way. It is a missing puzzle piece that can lift up communities and organizations. I want our board of directors and members to come and be a part of this training because I think it is a gift.” – Director, Bolinas

“Healing circles have changed how we work together, bringing colleagues/friends closer. On our units, we now begin and end each shift with a check in round before moving on to business.” – Nursing Director, Houston Methodist

“There are a lot of ways to recharge/reflect/re-center – through brief group self-care offerings, mindfulness videos, virtual yoga, etc. But Healing Circles stood out as qualitatively different, particularly in that the restoration and healing seemed to go deeper than other offerings.” – Training Participant, VA
