"This is a book written by a woman for women and for those who wish to grow in their consciousness of understanding the feminine in themselves, whether they be female or male.
The author becomes present to the reader in her song, in her thoughts, in her reflective experiences. She is creative, practical and detailed in her suggestions, her source references, her directives. In my opinion, she is to be commended for her wholistic approach—one in which the inner person is reached through tangible rituals: actions, symbolic objects, directives for movement, group-formations, eye contact, touching and suggested imaging. It is a deeply spiritual experience to listen to the songs and interface them with the suggested rituals. The author accompanies her suggestions for rituals, symbols, and songs with an obtainable and practical biblioghraphy...
An individual could find We Are the Circle: Celebrating the Feminine in Song and Ritual a rich personal experience, but with a well-prepared group leader the support of others would intensify the potential and totality of the experience."
