REQUIRED PRE-WORK
Circle 101 requires pre-work to strengthen the quality of our learning experience and create authentic opportunities to practice circle facilitation. This pre-work must be completed before you arrive in Nashville so that you travel with the supporting materials.
Please complete pages 13-15 of the Life Story 1.0 My Artifact Badge and bring your printed reflection and tangible artifact or photo of the artifact with you to training. Please note that because this pre-work requires bringing a physical item to training you must complete this task before you travel to Nashville. You will share this pre-work in session to allow for more authentic practice so completing this before you arrive is critical for our collective learning.
