Conversation Circles
Conscious Conversation Circles are typically gatherings of six to ten people, who come together regularly to explore topics of shared interest, to share wisdom and experience, and to support each other on journeys of collaboration and transformation.
  • Building on Parker Palmer’s teaching around Circles of Trust, these Conscious Conversation Circles allow participants to hold space for each other, creating containers for deep listening and gentle speaking. 
  • Conscious Conversation Circles may adopt different models such as wisdom circles, case clinics, or mastermind groups; the circles may follow a lightly structured curriculum or be open to what emerges.
  • Each gathering will be consciously convened and gently guided to allow all the voices to be heard without judgment. Buddy conversations between the group sessions may enhance the experience.

Paul Ward offers a fantastic experience in his Midlife New Life Conversation Circles. Not only is he an expert in the field, he offers wonderful insights and ignites rich conversations among the participants. I came away with a deeper understanding of what is most important to me going forward, an awareness of practical issues to consider, and a sense of community among a new group of interesting friends. The topics were relevantand thought provoking. I highly recommend this experience. Paul is a treasure.”

The timing of this course was serendipitous, and it was just what I needed. It’s given me an opportunity to take stock of my life and make some important decisions. I’ve enjoyed interacting with the other participants – such interesting and insightful people. Paul is an excellent facilitator who brings out the best in everyone!”

I have really enjoyed the book and the community which I have found both helpful and inspiring as I grapple with transitioning into the second half of life in pursuit of purpose, creativity and fulfillment.”

As we age, many of us are searching for intentional ways to craft our bonus years.  We are not ready to rock on the porch every day, although a little down time does enrich us. We want to rock and roll. Taking time to reflect and rewind in Paul’s conversation circle with a group of wise people lets us rock before we roll on down the road.”
