Why Cyclical Europe?
Cyclical Europe recognizes that people and communities grow in cycles, thus the name Cyclical Europe. Specifically, Cyclical Europe creates spaces for spiritual and leadership growth for the modern intellectual individual, recognizing that established religious institutions often struggle to stay connected with the surrounding individuals and societies.
