Collective Giving Results for 2008:
We were in design & development most of the year, but ignited a small circle of "collective givers" through a year-end Gathering of Lights program. The following projects were selected by two of these circle gatherings.
The Institute for Circlework, Jerusalem program
*teaches community & authentic connection through the process of Circle
| The Institute for Circlework supports the healing of individuals, communities and the planet through the practice of Circlework™, a group process in which people gather in circles with the intention of strengthening community, communing with spirit, and accessing compassion, courage, wisdom, and wholeness. The Institute for Circlework believes that to restore the health of our ailing communities and planet, we must once again learn to consciously utilize the inherent power of the circle. |

Diversity Beads
*a sustainability program for refugee women in Boise, Idaho
Founded by Christianne Dunn, this program gathers teachers and refugees from various countries to learn beading techniques which can be sold as products, at the same time the process creates an opportunity for community and practice of the English language.
