The Empowerment Circle Workbook

Building Vibrant E-Circles

Women who have completed the Woman Within Training Weekend are invited to participate in an on-going Empowerment Circle. Empowerment Circles are small groups of women who have completed the Woman Within Training weekend and agree to meet on a regular basis. They are designed to provide a safe environment for women to continue their growth with other women who have completed the Woman Within Training weekend.

These circles use a structured set of skills for women to learn how to create a safe environment and to effectively support and communicate with each other. Training in these skills is a requirement in order to join or to form an Empowerment Circle. There are three options available to obtain this training and to join an Empowerment Circle (options are largely dependent on where you live).

1. Guided 10 Week Training — women meet on a weekly basis and training is facilitated by experienced volunteers in a Woman to Woman Midwest community.
2. Guided Weekend Intensive Training — training is conducted over one weekend and is facilitated by experienced volunteers in a Woman to Woman Midwest community.
3. Self Guided — training is self-taught by following the 10 week Empowerment Circle workbook.
4. Costs for guided empowerment training (10 week or weekend intensive) vary, depending on the community sponsoring the training.
