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.

Relevant, accessible, practical, and invaluable for all generations.

Christina and Ann take us through the anatomy of the circle process with poetic clarity and simplicity, demystifying elements of the circle process while, at the same time, showing us the indescribable 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, Flesh and Spirit, and
Elder, Ojai Foundation

We learn circle best by doing it and letting the circle teach us, letting it reveal itself as we embrace it. Or we can learn circle by immersing ourselves into the deep and profound stories that Christina and Ann recount for us. They lay the bones of circle and then weave colorful threads of countless stories that create the tapestry of our understanding.

Christina and Ann bring the magic and discipline of circle fully to life in The Circle Way. They have opened the door for circle to enter our boardrooms, corporate meetings, community gatherings, and living rooms. I can hear them cheering us on, Now it s your turn. I ll gladly take the wisdom of The Circle Way with me. It s like walking with Ann and Christina by my side.
