At a time when globalization promotes economic and cultural domination - and science echoes the value of mutuality in an interconnected web of life in the Universe - the voices of women and the disenfranchised remain largely unheard.



As cultural shapers, women can play a key role in creating a more just global community that honors diversity, cooperation, mutuality, and the inherent right of all beings to fullness of life.





Fourfold Intention of Interconnectedness:



Sharing Stories: As women throughout the world, working in a multitude of ways for social, economic, and political change in our local communities, we seek to create a space to share our stories, our ideas, and our strategies.



Learning and Leading: As co-learners from communities around the globe, we wish to share the rich diversity of ideas and research about women's ways of learning, about women's experience of change, and about the process of growing in leadership.



Connecting and Healing: As global citizens, we recognize the need for healing ourselves, our people, and our Earth - and offer each other music, art, poetry, images, and song as signs of hope and wholeness.



Celebrating Spirit: As people rooted in the diverse faith traditions of the world, we recognize our personal values as a source of significance and motivation for working for change.
