Talking AndHealing Circles
Talking and Healing Circles
In times of organizational stress, change, or conflict, team dynamics can become strained, and productivity can suffer. I help restore connection, trust, and collaboration — conditions for teams to perform at their best.
Talking Circles serve as a proactive tool to enhance team cohesion and inclusive decision-making. Leaders and employees align around shared goals, and improve collaboration.
Healing Circles offer a restorative path forward when teams have experienced conflict, trauma, or significant change. This supportive process helps teams process challenges, rebuild trust, and steps for moving forward.
In my work facilitating Talking and Healing Circles, I've seen the deep, quiet shifts these circles can bring. I provide a structured, confidential environment where employees can pause, reflect, and engage in meaningful dialogue. This process fosters empathy, strengthens communication, and rebuilds a shared sense of purpose across the team.
“Barb and her co-facilitator, Enid, were exactly what we needed as an organization to work through conversations around trust and living our values. They facilitated our group with care, intention, and compassion while also driving us to real progress and results. Barb and Enid are expert mediators and facilitators, knowing when to push the group and when to step back. It was such a powerful experience that we didn't want the healing circle to end, and we didn't want to stop working with them!"
