JOINT BOOK LAUNCH CELEBRATION ON WHIDBEY ISLAND APRIL 28!

Join Ann & Christina for an evening book reading and slideshow, followed by a book sale and signing on our home base of Whidbey Island.

The Circle WayThe Circle Way - A Leader in Every Chair (Berrett-Koehler, March 2010) is jointly authored by Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea, and is a legacy contribution to the field of collaborative group practices based on nearly 20 years of working with their original PeerSpirit Circle Process. The Circle Way illustrates the application and potential of using circle in organizational settings, and is filled with stories from their work in North America, Europe and Africa that prove the practicality and applicability of circle to lead to sustainable change.


Keepers of the Trees Keepers of the Trees - A Guide to Re-Greening North America
(Skyhorse Publishing, April 2010) is by Ann Linnea. Within a five-mile radius of wherever you are reading this book there are dozens of "keepers of the trees" -- people whose lives and connections to trees have come together, growth ring by growth ring. Ann has chosen fourteen people across North America whose stories illuminate this fascinating interdependence. This book is lavishly illustrated with over 100 color photographs.

Come join us and help celebrate the launch of these two new books!

DATE & TIME: Wednesday, April 28, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

LOCATION: Thomas Berry Hall, Whidbey Institute, Whidbey Island, WA
