Episode 14: The Caretaking Issue (with Joel Tenbomb)
On this, our first interview episode, Joel Tenbomb joins us to discuss the fraught issue of caretaking. While some people see it as simple acts of kindness, it's important to keep an eye out for the many ways caretaking can limit the sovereignty and expression of others. This holds true inside of circling and in our lives.
More about Joel: Joel is the creator of Circling Curious, a Circling group that meets up monthly in Boston. He has been most intently involved with Circling for the past six years, having completed many Circling retreats at Monastic Academy in Vermont, as well as immersions with the Austin-based Relateful Company. His goal is to spread the practice of Circling as far and wide as people are willing to receive it!
