I also think that we have had these drop in type circles. There is Green Drinks and Open Coffee and Open Business Club that have done this. So I am sure they can happen. The TEDx Talks also took something of this spirit, and certainly the folk clubs I have attended in the UK have this option for anyone to participate, especially the ones that have poetry and local history too.
Thanks for sharing the link. You're right, there are probably thousands of "circle groups" - that tend to focus on their own "brand" within themselves. A Symbiotic Circle would have an internal function but it's primary purpose is to connect all of the existing networked silos and other circles in a local community.
I think that we can have more boxes in the book that give examples of what you are writing about. Especially these latter chapters.
I would like to hear more
I appreciate this public book discussions - we have these luku piiri (reading circles) in Finland and they work very well to "educate and activate" as Myron Stagman used to say to me https://www.amazon.com/Rescue-Nature-Ourselves-Myron-Stagman/dp/097092657X
