Healing Circles Global is  proud to be a program of Commonweal, a four-star Charity Navigator nonprofit, working in three core fields—health and healing, art and education, and environment and justice.

 

Healing Circles are a peer-led practice rooted in deep listening, compassion, and shared humanity. While they can be deeply supportive, they are not a substitute for clinical, medical, or therapeutic care.
