Ways to Help
Alone we are powerless. Together, we can change the world.
Tell your friends about our work! Invite them to visit our website, join our mailing list, view some of our videos, and, if they feel moved by what they see, make a donation.
If you belong to a listserve, post information about upcoming Circlework events.
Write something for our Facebook page!
Are you having a birthday? Are the holidays at hand? Ask friends to make a donation to the Institute for Circlework in lieu of the "stuff" they would otherwise give you. And remember, all donations are tax-deductible!
Contact your favorite radio show and ask them to schedule an interview with Jalaja.
Help organize a talk or workshop with Jalaja in your area.
If you're computer savvy and would like to volunteer a few hours a month working on our website, please contact us.
Host a fundraising potluck. This is a easy and fun way to raise money and help empower women! Here's how:
- Invite some friends over for a potluck dinner. Tell them that it's a fundraiser, and they'll be asked donate whatever they otherwise might have spent eating out (or more, if they want) to a great cause. If they want to bring friends, great!
- Email us the date of your gathering, and we'll send you materials.
- Get together, eat, drink, laugh, have fun. The host of the fundraising dish to pass can say a few words about the Institute for Circlework, and share a video or slide show from our web site.
- After watching the DVD, put a basket in the center, and ask your friends to make their donations. Play some sweet music and suggest a few minutes of silence, so they can write their checks in peace.
