In this episode of What’s the Fucking Point, we dive into the ancient yet deeply relevant practice of Circle Work and the transformative power of community when navigating life’s hardest moments. Circles remind us that hope is not built in isolation, it’s sustained through witness, connection, and shared humanity. Together, we explore how intentional gathering can soften despair, hold complexity, and ignite a collective sense of possibility.
