Resilience Circles
Change the way you relate to yourself, to God, and to your community.
In a social context where differences often seem to divide us, the Resilience Circle aims to create a “safe enough” space where we can bridge those gaps with presence, authenticity, and kindness.
New Circles Begin in January 2025
Learn to engage others, and yourself, with greater compassion.
Resilience circles offer a unique, transformative journey of personal growth, connection, and resilience.
More experience, less “training.”
More emotion, less logic.
More an “oh” and changed habits than head knowledge

Fosters Connections
One of the distinguishing features of our Resilience Circles is our commitment to foster connections across a multitude of differences–theological, political, ethnic and cultural.
In a social context where differences often seem to divide us, Resilience Circles create a “safe enough” space where we can bridge those gaps with presence, authenticity, and kindness. By sharing our stories and developing deep listening skills, we learn to engage others–and ourselves–with greater compassion.
