In 2016, an important co-teaching relationship was formed. It began with Penny Hamilton visiting the United States as participant in The Circle Way Practicum, hosted by Amanda Fenton and Tenneson Woolf. In 2017, that relationship grew to hosting together in Australia. It included both a Practicum and a 2-Day Workshop, that has continued annually with offerings staggered in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, and with growing hosts, including Carolyn Ball for Bendigo 2-Day Workshops.
In 2020, this suite of offerings grows to The Circle Way Advancing Practice, with continued intent to grow skilled circle practice and circle community. Advancing Practice pairs Penny and Tenneson, with distance support from Amanda. We all remain deeply committed to spreading the introduction, application, and evolution of circle work more widely in the world, in support of the human family in times like these.

Carol has been a change consultant and Circle Practitioner and host for over thirteen years with a passionate commitment to diversity, inclusion and human rights. Her work as a Senior Manager in Local government, State government and not for profit for purpose organisations, big and small, has all benefitted from Circle Way techniques. She is still amazed by the impact of the approach in harnessing energy and commitment to change across the most complex of situations. People hear each other more clearly, and put their energy into working together toward authentic and real outcomes. “Its not rocket science, its not magic, but it feels like that when you see how people respond to the techniques, respect and authenticity of the methods."
