Circle Ways

Vista partners with Circle Ways to provide staff ongoing training in the facilitation of Way of Council.

  • Listen from the Heart
  • Speak Spontaneously 
  • Speak Leanly

Building Empathy

Being “in council” helps students develop attention, concentration, and listening skills; to express themselves fully and appropriately; and to suspend preconceptions.

Council as a Restorative Practice

Not only does Vista use Way of Council to build community, it is also used to restore relationships and trust when needed.
