This book is a small guide that describes a simple way to help us remember who we are and reconnect with our sacred nature as women. We possess, in our innate way of being, wisdom which is vital for the nourishment and regeneration of self, of families, community and our Earth. When we gather together in silence, and in sharing, we can reconnect to deeper dimensions of ourselves and naturally realign to our place in the web of life. It’s through this practice that we can weave back into life the missing thread of love.
As a sequel to Finding Home: Restoring the Sacred to Life, this book is a beacon of hope for all who are in service to life. It is written as a guide for those who want to facilitate a Listening Circle: Seeding Life gathering.
My heart was deeply and gently touched as I read each page. The stories, the poetry, wisdom, and beauty…of this book, Listening Circles: Seeding Life, adds the element of attending to, listening, and evoking the women’s souls. Anne Scott brings in another dimension.”

Finding Home: Restoring the Sacred to Life
Stories of Women in Homelessness & Transition
Published 2016
This luminous collection of stories by and about newly homeless women reveals how the deepest form of empowerment can be found when women are given a heartfully-tended space in which to reconnect with the sacred within themselves. Finding Home presents an inspiring and compassionate picture of the healing that is possible for women when held in safely contained groups whose focus is on listening within, to the beauty and wisdom that awaits our attention.
Offering invaluable guidance for those wishing to work with women experiencing homelessness or women in transition, this book also serves as a beacon to us all, for finding our true inner home, through the eloquent ways it points us back to a deeper way of relating to life and its sacred source.
Anne Scott privileges us by sharing stories of real women, blossoming out of despair with the realization that they are so powerful and dynamic that each can change the world.”
