How You Can Help

The Institute for Circlework is committed to bringing women's circles and training to those who need it most, at home or abroad. We have funded training for women from Afghanistan, Israel, the West Bank, and the United States. Our organization envisions that someday, women's circles will be a regular part of how we communicate and reconcile with each other.

Inspired? We have created a list of ways you can help build the infrastructure we need. The most important and crucial part is for all of us to raise enough through donations to fund women's Circlework training and circles around the world.


If you have other ideas or wish to do something amazing — such as holding a workshop in an area of your expertise and donating a portion of the proceeds — please contact us at info [at] instituteforcirclework [dot] org. We'd love to hear your ideas about getting this project underway.
