About This Item
Swan Raven & Company, 1994. Softcover. Good. 6x0x9. The circle has been a social form since humankind huddled around the first campfires. People gather into a circle to call on Spirit, to celebrate to hold council, to create community, to govern by consensus, to make cooperative decisions, to take action. Christina Baldwin introduces a practical, how-to structure for calling the circle and exploring its potential to empower our lives. Using three principles-rotating leadership, shared responsibility, and attention to Spirit-Baldwin constructs a model for circling which she calls (tm) and shows how this may be applied wherever you go.
Synopsis
The original small-press edition of Calling the Circle has become one of the key resources for the rapidly-growing "circle" movement. This newly revised edition brings Christina Baldwin's groundbreaking work to an even broader audience ranging from women's spirituality groups to corporate development teams.50,000 years ago, women and men gathered around campfires to decide the key issues in their lives. Today, groups everywhere are discovering a new form of this ancient ritual for communication, mutual support, teamwork, and social change. Now, in a book as consciousness-changing as Riane Eisler's The Chalice and the Blade or Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline, Christina Baldwin offers this powerful new tool to everyone who longs for a community based on honesty, equality, and spiritual integrity.In this simple, profound practice, participants sit in a circle, pass a talking piece from person to person, and speak and listen from the heart. Christina Baldwin gives detailed instructions and suggestions for getting started, setting goals, and solving disagreements safely and respectfully. She also offers inspiring examples of circles in action: a women's spirituality group, a father and son in crisis, a PTA group that averts a school strike and a work project team that accesses a new level of creativity and caring.From the Trade Paperback edition.
