The Circle of Trust – Symbol of Safety and Belonging

Hands joined, space held, bond that cannot be forced.

 

origins

From tribal councils to sacred circles, people gathered in rings to speak, listen, and be seen without fear.

 

meaning

Safety, honesty, belonging. The circle of trust forms when presence replaces pretence.

 

today

It speaks of relationships, teams, and communities where truth is welcomed and guarded.

 

practice

Sit with others in a circle. Breathe together. Ask: what truth is safe to share here and now?

 

endurance

The circle of trust endures because every generation longs for spaces where they can be fully themselves.
