Way of the Circle Centre
We host transformative experiences that awaken us to our gifts and inspire heart-led action in our families, our communities, and on our planet for a beautiful & sustainable future.
Way of the Circle Centre empowers us to dream, connect, explore, and create.. Connecting with our hearts, stepping into nature, and claiming our space in the circle, we celebrate the infinite potential of what we can achieve together.
Our programming begins with the Heart Foundations, a series of four seasonal retreats that participants can attend in any order. These create a foundation for living in ceremony and working in the Way of the Circle.
Our core program is called the Heart Foundations, a series of four seasonal retreats that participants can attend in any order. These 4-day immersive gatherings create a deep dive into personal growth that help us embody what it takes to lead an authentic, heart-centred life. It is through the genuine practice of self care and tools of transformation that we can tend to others in a sustainable way.
When participants are ready to go further, they are welcomed to co-create the next spiral level, a year-long mentorship in shared leadership. Learning to work in the Way of the Circle is an apprenticeship in the integrity of natural systems and cycles. It is through these collective energies that we come to understand sustainability and how to balance inclusion and diversity, safety and growth.

Some words from our guests :
- "Heart Flow was without a doubt the most deeply extraordinary experience that I've ever had which provided me with clarity and assurance that nature knows the way, when we are truly connected within ourselves and are brave and willing -- deep down we know the way, and that when we hold a dream within a community we can co-create the way. The way to love, to peace, to acceptance, to balance, to harmony, to beauty --- I'm on my way."

At the Edge, I was able to dream, create, and become mindful at the moment, leading by my heart centre. My heart had been broken, my sense of identity lost. Coming to the circle, an ancient community practice, at the Edge, helped me understand what my new normal would become."

Read Original Post - "I was welcomed with open arms, love and so much faith and support. To be here exactly as I am, without the need to validate my existence or justify myself in any way. To just, be. I could feel myself gaining a small piece of my heart back, with the realization that I do have something to offer, that my story is worth sharing and that I am capable of teaching and guiding others. To understand that I have the answers to my questions and I don’t need to constantly seek out validation for them is completely empowering and motivating to keep looking deeper within myself."

Read Original Post - "It is hard to describe in words how much I love the Edge. Feeling beyond grateful for an experience filled with awe and wonder. Far more fulfilling than a week down south and has restored my childhood love of the winter! Every person, place and thing at the Edge contributed to an experience that left me replenished, whole and happier than I had been in months... Staff at the Edge helped me figure out how to help myself. Leaving me able to replenish myself in my regular crazy and hectic life!"
