Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Having searched for years for a book to recommend while leading women's circles, Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen decided to write her own. In The Millionth Circle, she explains how to form a circle, with whom, and how to anticipate and resolve conflicts as they arise. Written in poetic language that invites readers to use intuition and draw upon their own insights, The Millionth Circle is designed to be the tool and inspiration for women to create new circles or deepen and transform existing ones into vehicles of societal and psychospiritual change. A combination of vision and how-to, it is Dr. Bolen's most activist work to date.
Amazon.com Review:
Jungian analyst Jean Bolen hit the big time in the early 1980s with one of the very first New Age publishing successes, Goddesses in Everywoman. Every woman in America seemed engrossed with identifying her goddess and using the archetypes of the Greek pantheon to guide her out of the patriarchal system to greater self-knowledge and self-esteem. Bolen again hangs a lantern aloft for feminists and lovers of light everywhere with this slim volume. Though only 87 pages, The Millionth Circle has the potential to become the latest bible for the Jungian/feminist/evolution-of-consciousness movement (remember Women Who Run with the Wolves?). The premise is based on Ken Keyes Jr.'s 'Hundredth Monkey' theory: that a behavioral change in a growing number of individuals will reach critical mass, and the entire population's consciousness will leap forward to embrace the new behavior as if by magic. Bolen's version is this: form consensus-based, peace-loving circles of support, and one day the millionth circle could alter the psyche of the human race. Written in free verse from chapter 3 on, The Millionth Circle is a dandy manual for creating women's circles, which Bolen hopes will one day save the world. --P. Randall Cohan

Might just be the push folks need to step out in faith and create their own circle.
Has a very "step by step" feel for those who have not experienced dwelling in a circle before.

My cousin recommended this book to me and was currently in a circle of her own. I attened it as a guest and as amazed by how I was in a room of 12 women I did not know but I felt completely comfortable and did feel like I was being judged or my wardrobe or weight picked apart. Then I started to realize how cut off woman and men are from each other...we get so lost in comparing ourselves and feeling so isolated and becoming so fake that we dont know who we really are inside and our minds become so clouded and we can't make the right decisions.
After reading this book, only took me 45 min! It reads like a poem so you use the creative side of the brain and it gave me a lot of insights and ideas and I have started my own circle! I was amazed when I sent out the very first email 10 of 12 people responded within the very first 15 mins! It makes you think of things differently and the exercises and intentions of the book really make a difference!
Enjoy!

This is a small book which one might be tempted to race through, given its size... Do not be fooled! It is a very "meaty" (substantial) book, filled with wisdom and insight and useful information. I would suggest it be taken in little "bites," so as to properly digest all the nutrients it has to offer. It is something that one can use as a concise guide, to be referred to time & time again, and to be held up as a shining example of the strength and healing power of women's circles. A true gem. Blessings, All.

Working as I do in the corporate environment, I have used the principles contained in this concise book to create healthy alternatives to the typical hierarchical meeting. One does not have to have a background in women's spirituality to understand its premise or its practical application in many settings. As businesses of all sizes seek to move beyond traditional organizational forms, the book provides the outline of how furture organizations can work NOW.

This is a very good read if you know nothing about circles. It can be read in a couple of hours and covers the explanation of circles, the do's and dont's. And for me, the book stirred an interest to learn more.
Yes, there are books that tell you a lot more about circles, but if you've just heard about the idea this is the book to read.
Jean gives circle information in an easy to understand format and portrays her enthusiasm about creating the Millionth Circle.
I've recommended this book to all of my friends.
