“The Power of Inclusion brings the whispers of the ancestors to my heart and soul. The words move like a river, reminding me that we are all in a flow with each other and more connected in every moment than we can imagine. It is an invitation to transform our way of experiencing the world.The call to meditation brought me to the waters of the world, its streams, rivers, and oceans. It brought me to the mirroring in me of the waters flowing through my veins and arteries in a dance of intricate connection. What happens to the water happens to…

“The Power of Inclusion is part manifesto, part self-help guide, and part instruction manual for fostering inclusion in the workplace—and in the world. Cecilia shows us how universal principles of love, oneness, and mindfulness can help us realize that we’re all connected. In that moment, inclusion becomes the only
natural human response.”
Dr. Farah Jasmine Griffin, Award-Winning Author and Professor of African American Studies at Columbia University
“Prayers is an exquisite, sacred gift. Divinely inspired, filled with compassion and love, these pages provide a prace for living our best lives, and for giving our best selves to the world. Cecilia Loving’s beautifully written prayers guide us as we take the risk and step over the edge into a realm of greatness that is our birthright.”
Praise for Loving’s books, which support her thought leadership.
“Connecting Through Circles is about a method, a tool, and a process. But it’s more than that. It’s about creating a human experience that removes rank, station, and hierarchy. . . .In this container, people can model and reward vulnerability, and in that process, share, listen, connect, discover, celebrate, forgive, and change. You’re not the same person on the other side. That’s the whole point.”

“In a circle, there are no corners or edges. In much the same way, connecting through circles lends itself to an intimate and transparent experience where everyone is moved to participate. Our firm was fortunate to work with Cecilia Loving . . . Her use of circle discussions created a safe space for our attorneys and staff to connect on a personal level, which demonstrated her proficiency in humanizing conversation to allow authentic exchange. The impact of that work continues
to yield benefits years later.”
Ray Kramer, Adjunct Professor of Law, NYU School of Law, Mediation Clinic and the Advanced Mediation: Dispute Systems Design Clinic, and NYU School of Professional Studies, Conflict Management & Dispute Resolution
“Connecting Through Circles is a vital tool for your toolkit. This timely book provides Cecilia and Gina’s unique view of how we can benefit from restorative circles for courageous conversations, emotional intelligence, healing harm, and resolving conflict. Whether you’re in government, a corporation, a school, or any space where we have to bond with others, circles help bridge the gaps that need closing by requiring us to slow down, listen, engage, support, and sometimes even transform through our shared stories.”
Tara Brach, Mindfulness Leader
and International Best-Selling Author
“The medicine for shame is radical compassion, the loving presence that helps us trust our belonging and essential goodness.
Cecilia and Gina’s guide for circles calls forth this compassion and helps us repair what’s broken, listen for what’s missing, and connect
with the common ground of
our shared human experience.”
Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership, Harvard
Business School; Author, Right Kind of
“Connecting Through Circles offers a fresh perspective on how we can slow down
and listen to one another,
building a safe space for courageous conversations. . . .
Thoughtful and wise,
this book is an invaluable resource
for practitioners everywhere.”
