Join Our 10-Week
Compassionate Inquiry® Circles

Q: What if I miss a session?
A: Consistent attendance is crucial for the group process. Please ensure you can commit to all sessions before enrolling.

Q: Is this therapy?
A: CI Circles are guided small-group learning sessions facilitated by certified practitioners. They are for educational purposes and are not clinical or therapeutic services.

Q: Can I join if I'm currently in therapy?
A: Yes, many participants find that CI Circles complement other personal growth work they are doing. You may choose to let your healthcare provider or therapist know you’re participating, especially if sensitive topics may arise.

Q: How do I choose the right group?
A: Groups are scheduled at various times to accommodate different time zones. Choose the one that best fits your schedule.

Q: Do I need prior experience with Compassionate Inquiry® to join?
A: No prior experience is required. CI Circles are designed to be accessible to anyone interested in self-inquiry and personal growth. Your facilitators will guide you gently through the process, offering structure, reflection, and tools along the way.

Q: Will what I share remain private?
A: Yes. All participants agree to maintain group privacy. What is shared in the circle stays within the group.

Q: What if I feel activated or need a break during a session?
A: Facilitators are trained to support a steady, compassionate learning environment. You’re encouraged to listen to your needs, whether that means stepping away briefly, turning off your camera, or checking in afterward. You are never expected to share more than feels right for you.

Q: What’s the difference between CI Circles and other group spaces?
A: While CI Circles offer interpersonal support, they are structured as guided small-group sessions focused on self-inquiry using the Compassionate Inquiry® approach. The experience is relational, reflective, and grounded in presence rather than clinical intervention.

Q: What if I have a difficult personal history?
A: Many participants join CI Circles with a range of past experiences. The space is designed to be trauma-sensitive, but it’s important that you feel emotionally steady enough to reflect and participate. CI Circles are for educational purposes only and may not be suitable for individuals experiencing significant distress or current substance use that requires clinical support. If you’re unsure, you may choose to consult a healthcare professional or reach out to us.
