5000 Year Journey


After a journey lasting 5,000 years, women are at another moment of breaking the barricades set up to surround their energy and activity with resistance. Right now, there is a chance that gender balance can become a reality. We could find a way to achieve balance and harmony within, between, and among women and men in a celebration of life.


Women must make changes because it is their energy that has been curtailed. When appropriate shifts have been discovered and made by women, it will be apparent what men must do to achieve and maintain the outcome of gender balance.


What is it that women must do to make this shift occurs? How is it that we are to be women in the truth of that form? How is it that we are to discover our true natures and their appropriate behaviors? How do we remove the restraints? How do we draw a new picture of cultural form and practice that takes into account the authentic contribution of women? How do we find the form of these contributions untainted by the colors and shapes of the dominant description of what life is and what is meant to happen? How do we bring into focus the faint image that has appeared as women have taken the brave steps of breaking out of the cocoons built around them in order to keep them in check? Is there a role for men as women re-awaken to their ancient roots and their innate power and worth?

These are some of the questions that must be faced.
