Working circles form the foundation of our gatherings. Volunteers come together to help plan one aspect of the gathering in coordination with the group’s liaison. Liaisons work with conveners to ensure that each working circle is in alignment with the vision for each gathering.

Working circles are open to members of the community that have attended at least one gathering. Contact info@gayspiritvisions.org for more information or to volunteer.
