Resumen del Editor

In this revolutionary self-help guide, including audiobook exclusive exercises, two beloved Native American wellness activists offer wisdom for achieving spiritual, physical, and emotional wellbeing rooted in Indigenous ancestral knowledge.

When wellness teachers and husband-wife duo Chelsey Luger and Thosh Collins founded their Indigenous wellness initiative, Well for Culture, they extended an invitation to all to honor their whole self through Native wellness philosophies and practices. In reclaiming this ancient wisdom for health and wellbeing—drawing from traditions spanning multiple tribes—they developed the Seven Circles, a holistic model for modern living rooted in timeless teachings from their ancestors. Luger and Collins have introduced this universally adaptable template for living well to Ivy league universities and corporations like Nike, Adidas, and Google, and now make it available to everyone in this wise guide.

The Seven Circles model comprises interconnected circles that keep all aspects of our lives in balance, functioning in harmony with one another. They are:

Food

Movement

Sleep

Ceremony

Sacred Space

Land

Community

In The Seven Circles, Luger and Collins share intimate stories from their life journeys growing up in tribal communities, from the Indigenous tradition of staying active and spiritually centered through running and dance, to the universal Indigenous emphasis on a light-filled, minimalist home to create sacred space. Along the way, Luger and Collins invite readers to both adapt these teachings to their lives as well as do so without appropriating and erasing the original context, representing a critical new ethos for the wellness space. Each chapter closes with practical advice on how to engage with the teachings, as well as wisdom for keeping that particular circle in harmony with the others.

With warmth and generosity, The Seven Circles teaches us how to connect with nature, with our community, and with ourselves, and to integrate ancient Indigenous philosophies of health and wellbeing into our own lives to find healing and balance.

Brilliance and humility

This is an excellent design for living, I'm inspired to start a Seven Circles group at our organization, where we can read the book, practice principles and discuss.

A beautiful and important offering ❤️

This book is a good mix of scaffolded suggestions and ideas for improving our wellness, rooted in holistic, affirming, and attainable goals. Hearing the authors themselves share these stories in the audio version is an extra bonus. This left me feeling good about what I already work on in these seven circles as well as inspired and eager to begin implementing some new things, too!

Refreshing!

Easy to listen and the perspective was what I loved most about it. I can’t wait to apply the 7 circles to my routine / life and I already know they will drastically improve my awareness and overall health, for not just me but others as well.

Best audiobook purchase EVER!

I loved it! Especially the breathing exercises at the end. Hearing both the authors read this brings an even more personal touch to the book. I’m definitely going to buy the actual book to have on my bookshelf but the audiobook is definitely getting saved on my phone to do the guided meditations and exercises. Great work!

Will bring you lots of balance

One of those timeless books that will change your way of thinking. Good medicine here.

For everyone!

Simple clear steps for overall well being. I liked the example that Thosh and Chelsea gave in the book.
