Description of nominee: Selena Fox founded Circle Sanctuary in 1974 as a non-profit organization dedicated to networking, research, spiritual healing, community celebrations, and education. The Circle sponsors gatherings and encourages Nature preservation with Nature meditations and workshops celebrated at diverse locations including the Circle Sanctuary Nature Preserve, a 200 acre site in the forested hills of southwestern Wisconsin, USA.

       Reverend Fox and Circle Sanctuary advocates religious freedom through the Lady Liberty League and foster interfaith dialogues which strive toward multicultural cooperation.

       Selena’s most notable work to date has been her efforts to have the United States Department for Veteran Affairs recognize the Pentacle as a valid religious symbol to be displayed on the tombstones of pagan soldiers in the military who have died in the line of duty. The efforts are ongoing.
