What is Open Circle?
Open Circle is a safe, respectful, and welcoming community where students from diverse backgrounds explore personal and spiritual growth. We support each other in developing into engaged community-minded leaders through:
- Volunteer groups in underserved Hamilton communities
- Weekly drop-in groups for sharing and reflection
- Personal development courses
- Events like planetarium shows, panel discussions, and retreats
- Spiritual companioning (1 on 1 support)
