<div dir="ltr">Welcome to the circle! And to the millions of folks who have shown up before. Including the several who have spoken so elequently of their experience (Peggy, Chris, Michael...) Walking the circle ( or as it is ofen called)<b> bounding </b>the circle is a very ancient artifact of human society. We didn't invent it, but it is surely nice to remember it. Enjoy yourself.

do you do it? How do you begin? Do you “walk the circle”? Why? How does it make
you feel? <span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">And that´s
