Editor's Note:

For our theme "Living in Difficult Times," we have drawn in a variety of voices. These voices affirm the exquisite awareness that all times can be challenging, and that how we bring our attention to the stirrings in families, in daily life, and in relationship to the earth shape our perceptions and actions.

Editor's Note:

Once more we swing back to the fundamentals of Severance – Threshold – Incorporation and hear what each of these phases of wilderness rites of passage have to teach us. This issue of Circles on the Mountain is rich with the time- tested experiences of many guides, who offer us useful and inspirational new tools for the trade.

Editors’ Note

WILD CARD! Be careful what you ask for! At the beginning, even with two announcements, we had so few submissions that it looked like Circles on the Mountain just wasn’t going to make it into form this year. As a last try, we put out a call . . . more submissions, please. You responded in spades! Never have we been so swamped with members sending in their stories, their reflections, their photos, and poems. We went from ten submissions to almost forty in less than two weeks!

Editor's Note:

In this issue you will find many reflections of the 2015 theme: Enacting our vision so the people may live. The stories here remind us of the myriad ways that the ceremony of the vision fast serves special populations, generates cultural renewal, and advances community health.

This issue is only available as a download.
