The simplicity circles revolve around questions that are answered from people's real life experience. From the telling of these life stories, people begin to define community for themselves. From people's stories we move to an analysis of our society. The next step is to take action - each participant states what concrete action to build community that he or she will take that week. The next week the circle begins with a discussion of the actions.
Some people succeed in their intentions, some people fail.
But they all learn as they trade stories and ideas and practical suggestions. Begin with your own experience. Describe a time in your life when you experienced community. Then, say a few words about what is blocking you from experiencing community today. All the levels are important.
