Healing Circles are a place, based on Indigenous philosophy, where people can safely share feelings, thoughts and concerns about their lives while receiving, and providing, support as they work through any difficulties they feel may be impeding their development, well-being, and life choices. Typically, participants attend regular, guided consecutive sessions that facilitate sharing: establishing boundaries, addictions, communications, family rules, control, loss, and closure. The number of sessions, and topics, may be increased should participants and the organizers choose to do so. The Healing Circle recognizes, and incorporates, Sharing Circle teachings and is a form of group support, not therapy. As offered, the sessions are more Support Circles. Participants are provided an opportunity to meet with support staff and/or Elders (on site) should there be a need, or wish, for deeper discussions and/or sharing.
