A Hidden Wholeness The Journey toward an Undivided Life
and Circles of Trust DVD by Parker Palmer
Parker Palmer seeks to help us “rejoin soul and role,” so that individuals and communities can be healed from the ravages of consumerism, injustice, and violence. In his classic style, the task is fleshed out with stories, poems, personal confessions and a plan—concrete steps for creating “circles of trust” where honest, open sharing allows each person’s “inner teacher” to show
up—places where we can sit and wait for our souls to tell the truth. For the paperback edition a DVD about these circles has been added.
