 What Are CI Circles?

 

Compassionate Inquiry® Circles are live, online sessions for small groups of up to 18 people, guided by certified CI Practitioners.

Grounded in the work of Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur ND, they offer a supportive space for self-reflection, where you explore your inner world with curiosity, noticing patterns, adaptations, and coping strategies not to fix them, but to understand and accept them.

Over the course of  10 weeks, you’ll meet your Circle leader and other participants for two hours each week to deepen self-inquiry, notice what arises within you, and experience the power of the group.

 

Who Is It For?

You may find a CI Circle to be the right space for you if you are:

  • Over 18 years of age
  • Able to attend all 10 sessions
  • Curious and open to notice what arises in you without trying to fix it
  • Open to listening and connecting with others

    *DisclaimerCI Circles are not clinical therapy. If you are in distress or under any substance abuse we advise you to connect directly with us to see if CI Circles are a fit for you. They may not be suitable for individuals experiencing significant distress or currently engaging in substance use that requires clinical support.
