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.

BOOK REVIEW
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.
