Hi--
Let Chase Collins say to us what she says in her wonderful book, _Tell Me a
Story_ (here are about 20 other meanings of circle):
Perhaps our fascination began with seeing the shape of the
mother's breast and nipple--two circles--embodying beauty
and survival of the race; or seeing the shape

Is that poem yours? It is wonderful

The circle brings many benefits--not the least is that it is a very ancient
way for people to gather, and so brings energy gathered through the aeons.
I think creating a circle bounds the gathering, helps to focus on the theme,
creates a container that give participants a sense both of safety and
What do circles do? Here are some of my observations:
I've noticed that circles put you in there 100%. There is no place to
hide in a circle, which can be quite disconcerting to somebody who comes
to a meeting expecting to just sit back and zone out. You can read an
account by a participant in an

Hello Chris.
I have forwarded your question to a friend of mine who works a lot with youth
and peacemaking and is the initiator of a local peaceproject. Information about
it can be found on www.ickvald.nu, but only if you read swedish.
In Sweden we also have the youthorganisation Peacequest, wor
Dear Chris, Mikk, John and all,
when I was a kid one of the things we were really keen on where those
American candies called life savers: a circular sweet with a hole in
it.
I think they are still popular.
Why are they such a success?
Well, to me sitting in a circle (Mikk, if you have a crowd, act
What circles do for me when I am fortunate enough to be the one opening
the space - is that the circle is my ally, my friend. I know that as a
fact - not just theory. I have the feeling that I am not alone because I
have the circle in there doing the magic it has been doing since the
beginning of
Thanks for the image, Alexander, of sitting in a sphere in a gravity free
space. I want to be able to do that.

Hi Chris,
for years I went in circles trying to understand circles. My exploration
took me to wonderful books and discussions about sacred geometry. I love the
power of circles in our world and I am in awe of their power from their
simplicity, in working with Spirit/Universal Energy. I experience t
Chris:
>From unreliable memory, isn't a circle geometrically the shape that contains
the most area with a given amount of boundary. So there is an analogy about
it being the way to include as much material as possible. And that's the
spirit of the circle, to include perspectives not exclude.

Dear Chris and Michael,
I like the both scripts you gave, they are just from different parts of
circle. To tell anew the story of the circle is extremely important, as one
recreates the Spirit of the circle by telling story of it. It is also
important to polish the story and to make it really meani
Dear Chris,
just walk the circle and get people to focus on each other.
Skip the rest.
