Citizen Circles are an informal society of two or more citizens who wish to fully engage the democratic process using spiritual principles in their political actions. Citizen Circle meetings are forums of openness, understanding, and action. We join to create a safe and sacred space that grounds us in love and provides everyone the opportunity to express themselves, and gain informed awareness about today's social and political issues. Political and social transformation from both a personal and national perspective occurs. We desire to fully express ourselves and dramatically impact our current system of democracy. The format of the Circle meeting is intended to be a powerful container and is designed to "deliver" us to our next level of individual and social expression. As anyone who has tried a program of weight loss, or battled with an addiction can tell you, there are no quick fixes to the problems we face in life, or in politics. In whatever circumstances we face, our power is drawn not from what we do once and drop, but from that which we do consistently as we fully engage ourselves in the power of process -- whether that is the process of spiritual growth, physical development, or political awareness. From our adherence to the principles of process, and our willingness to work with them, we find great strength and expression and ultimately -- we will be shown the path to personal, spiritual and political change.

The key to a successful Citizen Circle is that we speak from the heart about subjects that matter. Come join the adventure!
