Inquiry & reflection circles
Linda Ellinor and Sharon Landes
What happens when a circle replaces a classroom? Linda Ellinor and Sharon Landes explore how inquiry and reflection circles create the conditions for genuine collective thinking.
Linda Ellinor is a founding figure at the Academy of Plenty of Dialogue and has spent decades developing dialogue facilitation practice; Sharon Landes brings experience applying reflective methodologies across educational and organisational contexts. Together, they examine the inquiry and reflection circle as a distinct facilitation model: a structured yet open form that invites participants to slow down, listen across difference, and surface assumptions that ordinarily go unexamined. The session attends to both the practical architecture of running such circles and the subtler facilitative moves that determine whether genuine inquiry emerges or the group settles into performance. In this participative webinar, cohosts guide participants through the approach before small group reflection allows attendees to test the ideas against their own facilitation experience.
