Moving Toward the Millionth Circle
It began with an “AHA!” that led me to write The Millionth Circle (hundredth monkey, millionth circle - Bingo !). The book seeded circles with a sacred center, inspired the Millionth Circle Initiative, brought me to the United Nations in 2002, and led to my advocacy for the United Nations 5th World Conference on Women (5WCW), the first since Beijing in 1995, and internet communication. From the book’s description:
The Power of Heart-Centered Feminine Activism
Uniting women from all walks of life. While women’s individual experiences and stories differ, there remains to be a uniting factor that draws women from around the world together. In this book for women, author Jean Shinoda Bolen calls upon this uniting factor, this feminine spirit ingrained in the soul of each woman, as a source of motivation for activism. As a result, this activism focused on women's empowerment is person-focused and heart-centered.
Contribute to great change. Each of us wields the power to make change. By channeling our passions into all that we do, our voices, and our actions, we take this world one step closer to being a better home for all who live in it. But joining with others is key to this effort. Bolen emphasizes the importance of relying on a support system, particularly women’s circles, in order to grow in influence.
The beginning of a new era. The metaphoric millionth circle is the tipping point into a post-patriarchal era. It is through the process of a growing number of people changing their perceptions and behaviors that a new era will begin. Those in the circles feed the activism by strengthening each other and, in turn, the movement as a whole. This spiritual book for women serves as a practical and poetic call to action, inspiring women and others to follow a path with soul.
