ENDORSEMENTS

"This is a book of stories, wisdom, and consummate practicality for how transformed communication can change the way we work together. The authors combine the wisdom of ancient traditions with years of working with diverse  groups, taking circle practice to a level of application that is both deep and transcendent."

-- Margaret J. Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science and Turning to One Another

"In this beautifully written book, Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea share the simple elegance of their PeerSpirit circle process and how it can be used in organizational and community settings with powerful impact. We have learned a great deal from the way of the circle as a call to remember our collective capacities to design and host catalytic conversations around the questions that most matter to our common future.

-- Juanita Brown and David Isaacs, cofounders, The World Cafe

"The Circle Way offers over twenty years of experience by the authors, who share how sitting in a circle allows for optimum self-governance, facilitates quality conversations that make a difference both personally and professionally, and encourages leaders to become more effective within their organizations and communities. Relevant, accessible, practical, and invaluable for all generations."

-- Angeles Arrien, PhD, cultural anthropologist, author of The Second Half of Life

"Christina and Ann take us through the anatomy of the circle process while, at the same time, showing us the indescribably mystery of what can happen in circle. The Circle Way is one of those rare books that can truly be called a transmission."

-- Jack Zimmerman, coauthor of The Way of Council and Flesh and Spirit, and Elder, Ojai Foundation
