The Circle Hbg

The Circle Hbg is an intergenerational queer-centered community that tends to the spirit, leads with curiosity, and seeks wholeness together.

The Circle Hbg is a place where you are seen, known, loved and connected to a community that seeks to know Love.

Allies are wanted, needed, and welcome!

The Circle Hbg, as a community practicing the circle way, believes in putting equity and justice in the Center.

“The Circle Way unequivocally affirms the essential practice of turning to one another to uphold racial, ethnic, gender, disability, economic, and environmental justice. We can imagine a different way.”

Land Acknowledgement

We recognize the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Susquehannock, which we now call Harrisburg. We acknowledge these Iroquoian people as we gather. We acknowledge a people that are no longer on this land and we do so with respect for their legacy, heartache for their loss, and to further our work for justice and to fight oppression in the days to come.

Three Core Gatherings  

The Hearth
The Spark
