The Millionth Circle, join together

I have been very inspired by The Millionth Circle project started by Jean Shinoda Bolen with women from all over the world participating by registering their circle work to help move humanity to a truly humane world . As the website states, the vision of the project is "A proliferation of circles with a spiritual center becomes a worldwide healing force by bringing feminine values of relationship, nurturing, and interdependency into a global culture in which hierarchy, conflict and competition, power over others and exploitation of the earth's resources are dominant values." Another important aspect of the The Millionth Circle Project is to publicize the need to actively support and advocate for a United Nations sponsored 5th World Conference on Women. To sign the petition in support of creating this event, please visit http://5wcw.org/ .

Just last week the UN voted to create UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women , in short, UN Women. It is a merging of 4 UN agencies and offices.“By bringing together four parts of the UN system dedicated to women’s issues, Member States have created a much stronger voice for women and for gender equality at the global level,” said the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

We have been working on translating the Millionth Circle website into Spanish so even more women have access to the information and can participate. If anyone would like to helps us with the translation from English into Spanish, please get in touch with me.

I've also been extremely inspired by The Sacred Awakening series featuring 40 spiritual leaders from every major tradition presented by The Shift network. The nearly an hour long talks can be streamed or downloaded for free from the Sacred Awakening Series website.
So far I've listened to Andrew Harvey on Sacred activism, Sobonfu Somé who has brought her native Dagara wisdom/spirituality from Africa to the West,, Shiva Rea, an innovative yoga teacher, a sufi woman teacher and Sequoyah Trueblood: a Choctaw elder. I look forward to listening to the others over the summer.
