What is a Junto Circle?
Junto Circles are small, place-based learning communities where members gather weekly to cultivate wisdom, solve problems collaboratively, and support each other's regenerative work. Based on Benjamin Franklin's original Junto club, these circles combine deep inquiry, mutual aid, and collective action.
- • Weekly gatherings (in-person or hybrid)
- • 8-12 committed members
- • Bioregion-specific focus
- • Collaborative problem-solving
- • Wisdom cultivation and knowledge exchange
