The One Step Behind Circle Training is a Circle Training. It has been approved by Woman Within International as a Circle Training. Various other Circle Trainings are available from different Woman Within Regions and communities. This particular Training is presented by Woman Within Central USA though any woman from any part of our global community is welcome to take it.
