I tried to introduce myself to the group the other day, but don't think my intro got posted. Anyhow, I am glad to join this group and look forward to working with you. I am the Founder and President of Sustainable Harvest International. http://www.sustainableharvest.org

Hey, Tarashea, psyched to see you on here!
Now we're on Facebook, too (unfortunately with two different sites for Cultivating Women's Leadership and Cultivatingwomen CWL,) and also here...more to follow, but I, too, came back STOKED.
Love, N

Hello fellow women leaders! I've just returned from Hollyhock with lots and lots to say about how "Cultivating Women's Leadership" is transforming my internal and external world. More on that later. Dear moderators, can I offer a suggestion? Please create a group on facebook for "Cultivating Women's Leadership". That way, fellow women can pass on the good words about this program with their networks through joining the group, advertising the courses on their status updates, and the like. Love, ts

I agree that it will be the feminine joining together to shape the future civilization. We teach sharing and caring to our young, but don't practice it as adults. At least not on a Global level. A shift is happening !

I have always wanted to attend your workshop at Hollyhock, but always seem to end up at SVI instead! I look forward to connecting online for the time being, and wish you all the best.

Just started a discussion on the main page on transforming our relationship to Money, and Economics, called Women & Money, though I don't mean to be in any way exclusive...it's intended to continue and expand a discussion from the conference, so I hope you'll check it out.

Just glanced through the photos posted of the members of this group. Feeling a bit like the bearded lady. Just for the record, I am happily married, with two lovely kids. I am a stay at home, homeschooling dad, who feels that the societal balance is way out of whack toward the macho, male side. You (I almost said guys, how programed is that? The weird thing is most of you would have accepted it with out thought or comment. Sorry, just an observation.), what's an appropriate label, "gals?" seem to be generating the most interesting discussions on this site, and you will let me participate. That's amazing. Keep it up!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!
What made you a feminist?

I just found this, and thought I'd pass it on!

"Send us a couple of paragraphs--in the style and voice that you'd use in a full-fledged essay--proposing what you would write, along with your name, email address, phone #, age, and ethnic background (we understand that this might seem a little reductive, but we are committed to including diverse authors). We'll look them all over, then get back to you once we've accounted for a range of moments, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds."

Send your ideas to: clickmoment@gmail.com
DEADLINE: October 15, 2008

Bright and dark blessings,
NSB

Hello strong and beautiful Bioneer women,
I am just arriving here and wanted to introduce myself to you. I live in Massachusetts and had the blessing of a woman mentor in my early twenties who trained me in women's leadership and empowerment by taking us out into the woods for ten days at a time. I am now nearly fifty and my life has been dedicated to the empowerment of women and the ways that we can bring change to our communities by dreaming our dreams.

It has been my sincere blessing to bring forward a number of women's leadership initiatives in the many years I've been committed to bringing visions into form. I am the founder of Priestess Path Apprenticeship to get really a spiritual and political archetype for women back in our memory cells, the Women's Belly and Womb Conferences, to honor our gut knowing and the power of our bellies, Daughters of the Earth Gathering, the healing of our fractures and connection to the earth (off the grid on ceremonial lands in New England/ Earthlands), the Red Tent Temple Movement that is spreading across the US one day a month to honor and support our womanhood. I am cofounder of the Women in Power initiation that explores predator/prey/victim/perpetrator dynamics in a mythical and fully engaging way.

My background is also with transformational leadership, community building, and being certified as a Shadow Work and breathwork facilitator. I offer the world a few CD's of chants that have come through for our circles that are meaningful ways for us to unite. My most recent one is this:

I will not live an unlived life
I take the risks and open wide
My love of life will not subside
No fear, no doubt can make us hide

I look forward to being in touch and hearing your part in healing our dilemmas. It is an amazing time to be alive. I am so very grateful.

Blessings to all,
ALisa
