Until relatively recently, the primitive practice of gathering in
circles-perhaps the oldest and most powerful form for creating community,
teaching and healing-was lost to modern cultures. With the dawning of the
new millennium, people are experiencing an overwhelming yearning for
change and renewal. In this environment of awareness, circle groups are
becoming a powerful force as social, spiritual and political outlets for
women. We are finally coming home to circles and coming home to ourselves.
Women Circling the Earth explains the history and importance of the circle
movement and details the benefits of women's circles for: providing a
much-needed sense of community; helping people reconnect with the sacred;
manifesting healing; achieving consensus; and creating social change. The book
also profiles some existing women's circles; shows how circle groups can benefit
women in even more traditional or conservative situations; and provides readers
with guidelines for creating a women's circle of their own.
This profound and practical book will show women that they can-and must-lead
the way in making the changes that will save humanity and Mother Earth, and that
this change will happen one circle at a time.
"Women Circling the Earth is an amazing compilation of the
circle movement... This book will open the door to all of the resources you need
to join or start a circle."
Christina Baldwin, author Calling the Circle: The First and
Future Culture
"This is more than an excellent work on women's circles. Engel has managed
to wrap the mind around a global picture of women's power and place in the transformation
of human communication. I applaud the depth and insight she has conveyed through
this wonderful book!"
Josie Ravenwing, author The Return of Spirit: A Call to
Spiritual Action and A Season of Eagles
"Women Circling the Earth is an excellent resource for
understanding and participating responsibly in any circle process, whether it's
creating a team, a community or a sacred practice. I highly recommend it for
beginners and veterans alike."
