Synopsis

This manual provide guidelines and inspiration for creating and sustaining listening circles for women. In this book, I draw from experience working with those facing homelessness or transition. The manual is also designed for any of us to meet the ever-growing need to come together in community to share and receive support in connecting to our inner place of home.

This work, of "working without doing," is vital nourishment, and absolutely needs to be shared in a world of ever-increasing distractions. Groups are an important place where this capacity for deep presence can be practiced and held. It is a place where we can weave into life a dropped thread of love.

On a practical level, Listening Circles also serve to address the trauma that can be found in some who are facing homelessness or in transition, such as refugees, or those in mental health distress. The circles function not by way of directly addressing the trauma, but by focusing on the place within a woman that is inviolable, that is always whole, and is itself a source of healing.
