To develop Cleu community where you live, meet in circle once a week. Study the Cleu book. Read Christina Baldwin’s Calling the Circle, and download useful guides to the circle from Peer Spirit Circling. Take the time to meet face-to-face. It’s who we are.

Here at CLEU, we like cyclic rhythms, such as daily, weekly, monthly, or annually. At this time of year, we make our annual pilgrimage to the Black Rock desert of Nevada. We all enjoy the excitement of reconnecting with family and friends as we prepare for another year of Cleu camp.

The CLEU is here to help you find people with a clue, so you can support your shared values and celebrate your human rites of music, art, dance, drum, song, and story. Over the last 10 years, we’ve given out over 10,000 Cleus, so it’s ever more likely that you can find a person with a Cleu near you. As a meme, the Cleu continues to spread its message: you are the clue.
Our mission is to seed Cleu circles in every community. We’d like to help you find each other. Just click on CleuViews to sign up for our newsletter with your email and zipcode.
