Peace of the Circle was founded by Dr. Evelyn Zellerer.
We are located in Vancouver, Canada, on the unceded, traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) and səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
We are committed to decolonizing, conscious leadership, stewardship and fostering respectful relations.
