Each Care Circle will have it's own personality based on it's membership. The only component that is common to all Care Circles is the commitment to caring. Caring is compassion in action, and it's the job of each Care Circle to find a way to express that desire to help.

Other components may fit into a Care Circle depending on the groups interests and abilities. Some CareCircles meet on-line. Others get together on a regular basis and include activities like reading, meditation, knitting, singing, drums, chanting, dance, sharing of art, story telling...

Often the Circle leader or members have an issue that's close to their hearts. This makes for a natural starting point. If you're at a loss try:

• Brainstorming with your group. List anything you can think of that you'd like to help with. Then ask everyone to pick their top 3. Find out which issue has the most votes and start there.
• Make a list and throw a dart.
• Ask your mother.
• Meditate or pray with the question - “what should I do?” The answer will come.
• Over time your Circle can move on to other issues which will probably rise very organically from the group.
