A History of Shifting Circles

Shifting Circles is an independent unity movement of creatives.

“Shifting Circles is unique in broadcasting; we have no script. Our personal and professional backgrounds and the teachings of our mentors complete circles. As these circles shift, we document transformational moments.”

Business buries itself in numbers- when they do not provide an obvious path, perhaps the power of Time can help.

Business and personal consultants, artists, writers, healers and scholars are a part of our spirit-based network. The underlying theme of most of our endeavors is to bridge mainstream thoughts to human imagination, mysticism, art, spirituality and extra-terrestrial phenomenon.
