Circle Keeper Training
Circle Keeper Training
RAIV Circle Keepers hold the sacred Circle for the Core Member and Community Members. They manage the logistics of their Circle and co-create a brave and caring space for all to participate fully. Each month Circle Keepers gather to debrief and learn with each other at a virtual community of practice gathering. This role in RAIV requires a level of commitment and responsibility to the inner Circle and the outer Circle, the Core Member's Circle and the RAIV community of practice. Circle Keepers continue to learn and grow as practitioners and people throughout their time with RAIV.
What you will learn at the Circle Keeper Training:
How to hold the boundaries and values of a RAIV Circle
The specifics of a Circle Keeper's responsibilities in RAIV
How to support and invite accountability for Circle participants and take responsibility for your own impact
Deeper understanding of the dynamics and risks of intimate violence and how to navigate them as a Circle Keeper
How to recognize and guide the 4 Phases of RAIV
Best practices as a RAIV Circle Keeper

Volunteers choosing to join RAIV as Circle Keepers, after completing learning and participation requirements, make a commitment to serve in a Circle as a Co-Keeper with a mentor Circle Keeper for their first RAIV Circle.
