The Circle
Restorative circles derive from Indigenous ancestral wisdom as a means for individual and community healing. BISS offers the Circle as a healing space open to all UMD community members to hold space for one another and share with vulnerability and humility. These sessions will be offered via Zoom and will have specific topics, which will be shared as each Circle event approaches so they can best be tailored to meet current community needs.
