NEW FOR 2020

CIRCLES INTIMACY AND RELATIONSHIP TRAINING

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2020 9AM-4PM

TRAINING WITH DEVELOPER LESLIE WALKER-HIRSCH

What is Circles? The Circles Program teaches social distance and levels of intimacy through the use of six color-coded concentric circles. Starting from the center circle, which represents the self, each new colored circle represents behaviors, feelings, and actions appropriate to the distance from the center of self. Circles was written by Leslie Walker-Hirsch, Med, Marklyn Champagne, RN, MSW & James Stanfield, EDD
