Children's Circles and Rites of Passage with Jane Bennett
In this episode with Jane Bennett, we covered:
• How a circle format can work well for sensitive topics in general and to differentiate it from puberty lessons in school in particular
• We talked about how having a conversation before the circle can help manage expectations of what will happen
• How circle time can lessen feelings of shame or embarrassment and increase positivity around taboo subjects
• When crafts or other ways of keeping hands and eyes busy can be advantageous
• Why the process of normalising talking about difficult subjects is so important and how circle facilitators achieve that
• How you adapt for the people attending the circle, with the example of dads attending Fathers Celebrating Daughters events
• A fantastic tip for new (and old) facilitators on the importance of taking time to be present.
