Listening circles are a specific type of circle designed to help people process an event or issue that poses a challenge or harm to
their community or has impacted people in a significant way. They are voluntary, community-oriented forums aimed at providing an
equitable opportunity for all attendees to have voice.

They have roots in indigenous cultures and are backed by research in interdisciplinary studies. They are not focused on problem solving, dialogue, or debating. They are meant for creating a space for expressing, listening, processing, and community building.
