A role in the Office
Circle Keepers
A Circle Keeper holds a circle — a small, named gathering organized around shared inquiry, practice, or stewardship. The Office of the Three Sisters opens many such circles, and welcomes many keepers to hold them.
What it holds
A circle has a shape and a rhythm. The keeper holds the shape — the rhythm of meeting, the welcome of newcomers, the relational care of the people gathered. The keeper does not lead the content; the content rises from the circle itself.
Who it's for
People who can hold a small group with steadiness, curiosity, and care. You don't need credentials — you need willingness to tend a relational space across a season, in coordination with the rest of the Office.
How to become one
Begin with the orientation. We'll meet, learn what circle you're drawn to, and find a way for you to step into one already forming — or to open a new one with a partner keeper.
The Office currently holds 100+ open Circle Keeper positions. That number reflects the shape of the work we're inviting, not a quota to fill quickly.
How to step out gracefully
Roles can be set down. We ask keepers to give a sub-cycle of notice when stepping out, so the circle has time to find its next keeper or to close in good order. Stepping out is part of the rhythm, not a failure.
The rotation principle
Multiple people can hold the same role across different months. A circle does not depend on one person. Keepers rotate, and the circle continues. This is one way the Office models a thriving polycropping rather than a single-keeper monoculture.
