But it's more than that. It's about creating a human experience that removes rank, station, and hierarchy. It creates what I call cultural flatness. In this container, people can model and reward vulnerability and in that process, share, listen, connect, discover, celebrate, forgive, and change.\u003cbr\u003eYou're not the same person on the other side.

Our firm was fortunate to work with Cecilia Loving in 2020 during a particularly sensitive time of racial and social tension across the country. Her use of circle discussions created a safe space for our attorneys and staff to connect on a personal level, which demonstrated her proficiency in humanizing conversation to allow authentic exchange.
