SEKEMs Morning Circle

In order to always keep the big idea and team behind each individual task, the employees of each company meet in a circle every morning for a collective start. Each Thursday afternoon all employees of all SEKEM institutions located at the SEKEM main farm gather in a big circle in order to celebrate the achievements of the previous week. Standing in a circle shows that all participants are equal – an equality that stands for the dignity of the human being.
