Product Description
From Amazon
Jungian analyst Jean Bolen hit the big time in the early 1980s with one of the 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
Book Description
A combination of vision and how-to, The Millionth Circle is the most activist work to date of Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen, a writer, analyst, and teacher who has long been a leader in the women's empowerment movement. Written in poetic language that invites the readers to use intuition and draw upon their psychological and spiritual insights, The Millionth Circle will be the tool and inspiration women can use to create new circles or deepen and transform existing circles into vehicles of societal and psychospiritual change.
Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D. is a psychiatrist, Jungian analyst in private practice, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California Medical Center, and an internationally known lecturer. She is the author of many books including Crones Don't Whine and The Millionth Circle, which was published in 1999 and spawned a whole new way for women to become activists from their local circle.

The Millionth Circle,
By
This review is from: The Millionth Circle (Hardcover)
This is a nice book but if you are looking for information on starting a Circle, then it is a disappointing choice. I ordered it because of an interview I read in New Dimensions Journal where Justine Toms had a conversation with Dr. Bolen about Women's Circles. I found more helpful information in that interview than in the book, as well as information that was not in the book. What I have found that has proven helpful is the book Wisdon Circles. It has the information one needs to get a circle started.

Broad application for the concepts of The Millionth Circle,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Millionth Circle (Hardcover)
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.

A Wonderful Introduction to Circles,
By "mchiqui" (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Millionth Circle (Hardcover)
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.
