Moving Toward the Millionth Circle

Book excerpt: In Moving Toward the Millionth Circle, psychiatrist, activist and best-selling author 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 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 perceptions and behavior, a new era can begin. 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-centered activism. 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.
