In this episode, we speak to the founder and leader of Circle Talk. Circle Talk is described as "a relationship-centered program with the potential to transform the culture of any place people gather into a place where people experience an intimate community and meaningful connections with their peers."
We speak about the program, the need for such a problem, especially among Older Adults, how they incorporate mindfulness into this offering, and how offerings like this can decrease social isolation.
During the conversation, Deb and Meredith share the following resources. You can learn more on their website:https://circletalk.org.
