Ann and I have been sharing an ongoing reflection about circle process, the role of women in leadership, and the ways women are called to lead.

Ann lives in Florida and sent me an incredible clip about the type of dolphins she sees off her shores.

A pod of bottlenose dolphins off the coast of Florida have developed a remarkable hunting strategy in order to catch fish. Another awesome thing about this technique is that only one female in the pod can create this ring, and it’s always counterclockwise.

Reflecting on this this video clip with me, Ann wrote, “These are the kind of dolphins that we have–they come down the canal, usually just 2 & 3 at a time, and “herd” the fish into a spot.  This is right in our canal intersection or up one of the inlets, then swim really fast in a circle & feed.  All the water fowl (pelicans, herons, cormorands, gulls, etc) take advantage of the easy pickin’s & follow them around, so it’s quite a sight–and noise, with the wings flapping, water sloshing, birds squawking, etc.  This usually happens only in the “winter”, from December through February.

I don’t have any answers, but I have an inkling that women are following a similar process as we circle. Keeping in mind we are not hunters, but nurturers, we create an energy field of creativity, compassion and connection that allows for and fosters transformation of what has been into what is has the power of becoming through our feminine touch.

Take a look and share your reflections:
