New Life Circles is a peer-led decentralized community committed to the growth of its membership through self-empowerment and community consensus-based decision-making. The central mission of New Life Circles (NLC) is to support the social, emotional, and professional growth of its members through community, connection, and compassion. Our community process does not ask you to believe in anything other than your own potential to change, heal, and feel alive and connected; we choose to do it together.
Because the central mission of NLC is to support its members’ growth through self-empowerment and community consensus-based decision-making, it’s important to recognize there is an inherent conflict between group cohesion, consensus, and conformity, and the agency and interests of each individual member. Critical to carrying out our mission is to be aware of this inevitable conflict and vigilant in safeguarding our process and membership. Our theory of change supports a life practice of self-empowerment that does not ask you to believe in anything other than your own potential to change, heal, and feel alive and happy. We choose to do it together, but the goal is not to become what others want us to be, but rather to accept ourselves and become who we are as individuals as well as part of the community.
At the heart of NLC’s mission is the belief that personal growth and self-empowerment are essential to living a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. The organization recognizes that everyone has the potential to grow and change, and that through community, compassion, and support, members can connect with each other, build relationships, and support each other on their journey toward health and happiness.
NLC’s mission is grounded in the principles of sociotherapy, a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the importance of social and cultural factors in shaping an individual’s experience. The organization’s approach is focused on creating a supportive and empowering environment for members to explore their thoughts and emotions, and to experiment with new ideas and practices.
Through its unique approach to personal growth and self-empowerment, NLC is helping members to recognize their own power and work towards positive change in their lives. The organization is committed to creating a community of connection and growth and providing members with the tools, resources, and support they need to achieve their goals and live healthy, happy, and fulfilling life.
