3Practice Circle Referee Training on Zoom
Besides training 3Practice Circle Referees in organizations and institutions, we offer Open Training Cohorts that mix early adopters, explorers, and social entrepreneurs ready to take the initiative (They also include folks who couldn’t make their organization’s training — or can’t wait for the organization to get up to speed).
Open means anyone can come … so, educators, religious workers, ombudspeople, community organizers and organizational leaders show up … which is a lot fun because, despite different missions and day-to-day routines, they work at helping people navigate differences where they live and work.

* Insight Circles
3Practice Insight Circles are based on publicly available books, videos, speeches, articles, visual art, and other sources.
People who’ve interacted with the source personally may take two minutes to express their thoughts in the Circle, and then answer Clarifying Questions from others.
Anyone may ask Clarifying Questions, beginning with the words, “I’d be curious to know.”
As always, no one is required to speak.
** Religious Themes
Some folks bring religious sensibilities to 3Practice Circles, and some Circles address explicitly religious themes.
Don’t read too much into that. By design, 3Practice Circles are neither religious nor non-religious.
That said, if you use religious jargon, you may find that others don’t know what you’re talking about. So, if your goal is clarity, start with your vocabulary.
In any event, whatever our beliefs, politics, and lived experience, we speak for ourselves in 3Practice Circles.
