Isla Women’s Sacred Circle
Mayan Women’s Beading Circle
Isla Mujeres, the Island of Women, is a
small island off the Yucatan coast of Mexico.
Historically, this island has been used for
retreat and healing rituals among the Mayan
people because it powerfully evokes elemental
life - rich, lush and alive. It became clear
to us that this island invited women to
gather together for a circle by the sea - for a
time of retreat and replenishment.
Simultaneously with the growth of our women’s
sacred circles retreats on Isla Mujeres, some
of the Mayan women of the island, Islena’s,
were creating their own circle, a beading
collective. These women’s intent was clear:
by creating their beautiful bead handcrafted
art, they could better provide for their
families, particularly their children.
For many years now, the women we gather for
our circle bring seed beads to the beading
collective when they journey to our women’s
retreat on Isla. Currently, to help support
the collective economically, we bring their
unique, handcrafted Mayan design jewelry back
to the United States to offer to our families
and friends. Each year, generous women who
have been part of our circle on Isla with us
and other friends send us beads to bring to
our amigas.
As each woman from our circle returns to her
community, a web of wisdom and activism
begins to change our world. Our two circles
of women are interwoven - right mindedness in
action. We are all enriched, on this Island
of Women.

The Definitive Book of Body Language
by Allan and Barbara Pease
Bantam Dell, New York, NY, 2004. $23.00.
Celebrating a Texas Longhorn football victory
while in Italy can get you arrested. Blowing
your nose in front of a Japanese client can
cost you the deal. Reading a man’s feelings
is as easy was watching the direction he
blows his cigarette smoke. Body language
reveals a person's feelings and attitude while
conversational words convey mere information.
Therefore, learning to read gestures
correctly enables a deeper understanding of
friends, greater intimacy with family, and
can even increase your sales quota. Full of
playful commentary like “What signal alerts
you that a politician is lying? His lips are
moving,” makes The Definitive Book of Body
Language enjoyable and its lessons memorable
and easy to apply. According to Allan and
Barbara Pease, women can be taken seriously
in the workplace while maintaining their
femininity if they have the right handshake
and refrain from smiling too much. Indeed it
is women’s natural inclination to smile that
often dumbfounds men who have difficulty
recognizing a woman’s repertoire of different
smiles. Offering suggestions for both men and
women to disarm an aggressive handshake and
how to tell when someone is telling the truth
(they expose their palms) or when they are
giving a false smile (the left side of the
smile will be stronger and the eyes will not
wrinkle) the Pease’s entertainingly guide you
through coming to know others, as well as
yourself, through non-verbal communication.
