HI! My name’s Kristi.
I Believe that Facilitating Circles Is a Skill that Anyone Can Develop.
I sat in my first sacred circle in 1999. I began facilitating 12-Step meetings (which are—believe it or not—structured similarly to sacred circles) in 2004. I began gathering women in sacred circle around my fire pit on the full moon in May of 2022. And I’ve gathered a lot of wisdom, taken a lot of trainings, and held a lot of circles along the way.
