Dre Bendewald of The Art of Circling: How Magic Happens When Women Gather Hold the Light
-
- Self-Improvement
Today on the show I’m talking with Dre Bendewald, the founder and facilitator of The Art of Circling.
The Art of Circling is a group mindfulness practice that uses ancient ritual in a modern setting. Through sharing stories, deep listening and meditation, The Art of Circling empowers people, strengthens communities, and heals and transforms lives. Dre, who is a certified council carrier from the Ojai Foundation in Ways of Council, has made it her life long mission to share these circles with as many women as possible around the world as a way to bring peace, harmony, and divine balance.
We talk about the synchronicity of how we met; we talk about guidance, gratitude, and how we are always connected; we talk about a book that has deep meaning for us both, The Freedom Transmissions; and of course we talk about the art of circling. If you’re curious about what a circle is or what happens within a circle, you’ll want to hear Dre’s wisdom and stories in this conversation. And then, I suspect you’ll want to try one.
Also, at the top of this conversation, you’ll hear us talk a bit about one of our shared teachers, Carissa Schumacher.
