Ryan Hollon
Circle Experience
I enjoy sitting in circle in the classroom and in the community. Since being trained by the Community Justice for Youth Institute, I have organized circles with schools as well as non-profits. I am most interested in working with the formerly incarcerated to become skilled circle keepers, and believe the process offers everyone the opportunity to become an active leader in a global peace movement.
