ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Council circle

Imagine you're in a big group with all your friends and family. You're all sitting in a big circle and everyone has a turn to talk. That's what a council circle is all about.

In a council circle, a group of people sit in a circle and they take turns sharing their thoughts and feelings. They might talk about things that are bothering them or things that they are happy about. Everyone in the group listens closely and gives the person speaking their full attention.

It's important to be respectful and listen carefully during a council circle. When it's your turn to talk, you can feel safe and supported knowing that everyone is focused on you and your words.

Council circles can be helpful for groups to bond and build trust. It's a place where everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

And just like sitting in a circle with your friends and family, council circles can be a fun and meaningful way to interact with others!
