The Circle: Connecting Disabled Communities

The Circle is a monthly restorative space to center those impacted by identity-based trauma. All UMD members are welcome into The Circle, acknowledging that we are holding space for one another as we share with vulnerability and humility. Restorative circles derive from Indigenous ancestral wisdom as a means for individual and community healing. 

For this month's Circle, we invite members of the disability community and those in support of greater accessibility at UMD to come together with compassionate care. We will invite participants to respond to a few restorative questions, inviting in the next person in the Circle. 

This space is not a 'drop in' space, but rather a place for connecting our communities with intention. Thus, we ask participants to stay for the full hour if possible. 

If you have questions about the accessibility of this space, please contact b.a. medina - biassupport@umd.edu
