The Town of Webster is already a pretty strong community, but a new(ish) program at the Webster Public Library is helping to make it even stronger.
It’s called the Community Building Circle, a safe gathering space where participants can talk and share their opinions on a topic chosen by the facilitator. Everyone has a chance to speak — and listen — and are encouraged to be open and genuine with each other. All are welcome and all voices are heard. It’s a great way to meet and connect with new people.
Here’s the description provided by the library:
Please join us for a monthly Community Building Circle! We are social beings that not only need connection — we thrive and are more resilient when community bonds are nurtured and strengthened. The circle structure, where each person has an opportunity to speak, in turn, without interruption, creates a safe space to make connections, build relationships and be heard. Each circle focuses on a meaningful topic that is chosen by trained facilitators. There’s never any pressure to speak, or to return, but our hope is that after experiencing a community building circle and the relationships that develop there, you’ll join us again as we build community together.
The program is held the second Friday of the month from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in the Large Study Room. There’s no cost, but registration is required. Click here to register for the October 9th session.
The Community Building Circle is sponsored by PiRI (Partners in Restorative Relationships).
