Practice & Learning Circles
Practice and Learning Circles are small, facilitated communities for exploring meaningful ideas in the company of others. They offer thoughtful spaces for reflection, conversation and shared inquiry.
Learning Circles
Learning Circles are organised around a shared book, body of work or area of inquiry.
Participants read or engage with agreed material between meetings and gather regularly to explore what they are discovering.
A Learning Circle is not a lecture or conventional book club. Learning emerges through the meeting of the material, personal reflection and the collective intelligence of the group. Participants are encouraged to question, make connections, consider different perspectives and notice how the learning relates to their own lives and work.
Practice Circles
Practice Circles focus on translating awareness into lived experience.
Participants explore a particular capacity, pattern or developmental theme over time and are invited to experiment with practices between meetings. The group becomes a place to reflect on what happened: what was noticed, what felt difficult, what shifted and what remains to be understood.
Practice is approached with curiosity rather than self-correction. The purpose is not to perfect ourselves or perform change successfully. It is to become more able to recognise the patterns that shape us, remain present to our experience and respond with greater freedom and choice.
Our Circles
The Applied Enneagram Learning Circle
A long-standing learning community exploring the Enneagram as a living system of self-awareness and personal development.
Through shared reading, reflection and conversation, we deepen our understanding of ourselves and others, with an emphasis on applying what we learn to everyday life.
Exploring the Patriarchy
Exploring the Patriarchy is a learning circle dedicated to examining power structures and how patriarchal beliefs, expectations and intersecting forms of inequality shape our identities, relationships and everyday lives.
Through shared reading, honest conversation and reflection, we explore what we have inherited, what we may have internalised, and what becomes possible when we begin to question these patterns.
The Practice of Freedom
A year-long facilitated Practice Circle based on Byron Brown’s Soul Without Shame.
Through monthly gatherings, personal practice and peer reflection, participants explore the Inner Critic and develop greater freedom, presence and choice.
