* Jean Bolen will be presenting at the UN Commission on the Status of Women March 4th - March 15th advocating for a 5th Conference on Women (5WCW) * A sequel to The Millionth Circle (9781573241762), 30,000 copies in print MOVING TOWARD THE MILLIONTH CIRCLE is a sequel to the author's popular The Millionth Circle (1999) with a slightly different focus. Her first book describes how real change happens when a critical number of people adopt a new perspective with how-to sections on ways to create women's circles with a sacred centre. While still about women's circles, her new book focuses more on activism and how these circles can help to sustain and support women working for change in their lives and in the world. In this brief, yet profound book, Jean Bolen inspires women and others to follow a path with soul, to take on a personal assignment that contributes to change, while relying on the support of a circle or circles of likeminded individuals. The strength that comes from those circles feeds the activism and the activism makes the circles stronger. MOVING TOWARD THE MILLIONTH CIRCLE is about heart-centred activism.
The metaphoric millionth circle is the tipping point into a post-patriarchal era, based on the premise that when a critical number of people change their perspective and behaviour, a new era can begin. Drawn from Dr. Bolen's work with the United Nations and her experiences with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and women from all walks of life all around the world, this book is poetical, practical and political.
