Long-term Programs
& Retreats
The complexity of the world’s current challenges will not be met by an individual heroic leader, but rather by groups of people working together in pursuit of change.
Circles International offers in-person and virtual workshops, programs, retreats and gatherings to strengthen the muscles of collective change.
We bring together social change advocates, professionals, doers and believers to connect with each other, root themselves and their work in community, and deepen their leadership practices.
Graduates of our programs become members of the Contemplative Leaders Circle, and receive ongoing training, mentorship, and resources as part of a broader community dedicated to advancing resilient and healthy organizations.
