Seven Circles

In this groundbreaking self-help book, Native American wellness advocates Chelsey Luger and Thosh Collins share profound insights for nurturing spiritual, physical, and emotional health inspired by Indigenous ancestral wisdom. As founders of Well for Culture, they invite everyone to embrace holistic wellbeing through Native traditions. Drawing on the teachings of multiple tribes, they created the Seven Circles—an all-encompassing framework for modern life grounded in ancient knowledge. Having presented this empowering model at Ivy League schools and companies like Nike, Adidas, and Google, they now offer this transformative guide to support your journey toward balanced living.

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—and 75 atmospheric photographs by Collins throughout 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.
