ANDREW HARVEY, Author of The Hope – A Guide to Sacred Activism
Circlework, as taught by Jalaja Bonheim, PhD, is a path that honors women’s deep longing to connect in intimate and authentic ways. Through a wide range of tools that include not only verbal sharing but also movement, touch, and immersion in nature, it creates spaces that feel both safe and sacred. Here, women have space to listen deeply, both to their own hearts and souls and to one another. Circlework has proven its value as an effective peace practice that is currently being used in the Middle East to unite Jewish and Palestinian women.
Though Jalaja is an award-winning author, none of her previous books reveal the concepts and tools that make Circlework such a magical experience. Until now, the only way to access the secrets of Circlework was to attend her retreats or trainings. Now, for the first time, she explains how ordinary circle gatherings are transformed into true mandalas–fields of sacred presence imbued with love, peace and joy.
The Magic of Circlework includes the stories and voices of many women who are using Circlework to heal their lives and relationships. Inspiring embodiments of feminine power, they have bonded to form a global sisterhood that transcends all national and religious boundaries. Anyone interested in the process of healing and evolution will love their stories of life-altering encounters and awakenings.
At the same time, Jalaja emphasizes that readers can use the principles of Circlework even if they never attend a circle gathering. Circlework is, after all, not just a group process. It’s also a spiritual practice that approaches the circle as an inner healing medicine that all humans are born with. Throughout the ages, many have recognized its potency. The great psychologist CG Jung, for example, described the circle as “the archetype of wholeness and divinity”. The Magic of Circlework teaches us to tap this powerful inner source that can help us stay centered, balanced and whole, even in the face of outer turbulence.
