The Making of the Circle: A Conversation with Circle Co-Originators Glen Cooper, Kent Hoffman, and Bert Powell

Step into the story behind one of the most influential parenting frameworks in the world. 

What started as a small, after-hours project in a garage evolved into the globally recognized Circle of Security Parenting program—now impacting tens of thousands of providers across more than 20 countries and reaching families in countless communities worldwide.

Glen Cooper, Kent Hoffman and Bert Powell built a lifelong friendship and clinical partnership that has shaped the way we understand relationships, attachment, and caregiving. Their shared passion for family systems, object relations, and attachment theory laid the foundation for something far bigger than they could have imagined.

In this special webinar, you’re invited to hear directly from the co-originators themselves. They will take you behind the scenes of the Circle of Security’s creation—sharing personal stories, pivotal moments, and the evolution of their work over the decades. You’ll also get an inside look at how the Circle of Security continues to grow and innovate to support professionals and caregivers around the globe.

Whether you're a facilitator, clinician, educator, or simply passionate about strengthening relationships using the Circle, this is a rare opportunity to connect with the history, heart, and future of a movement that continues to transform lives.

Join us for an inspiring journey—where it all began, and where it’s going next.
