A while back I posted an essay outlining a vision and proposal for a global network of small circles of people who meet regularly for mutual support, growth, and collective action. I received a number of responses from these lists and from others I contacted and have started a google group for conversation leading to action on this subject. There are a number of models already in existence. If you want to engage in such an exploration please follow the link below:
