"I have a deep desire in my heart to have Circlework in the West Bank for Palestinian women. I'm coming from a conflict area. We need strong and courageous women to hold wisdom and light for the next generation. In January 2009, I organized a short circle for Palestinian women for Jalaja, and it was really moving. I hope that in January 2010, she can offer a two day circle. The women there are so hungry, they are longing for this. We are living in a violent society against women, and this will be the first healing circle in Palestine. It is a great responsibility, and part of Jalaja's mission. It is needed! We can make a change, we can make peace!"
