what grows from these seeds

Seed Circles are gatherings for those in non-profit, social service, social justice, and movement spaces to connect deeply; give and receive support; tend to themselves (as you so often tend to others); and create shared, effective visions for the world we are working for.

~ resource sharing ~

Seed Circles creates networks that facilitate equitable and effective distribution and use of resources.

~ cultivating community ~

We are cultivating a community built on shared values and building networks of rooted resilience. This community co-creates solutions to benefit us all.

    • Nurture inter-organizational collaboration, ensuring resources are shared and used effectively and strategically, for maximum benefit.

    • Eliminate or minimize overlapping programs/services and fill in the gaps.
