6 Congresses on 6 Continents Launching in 2006
Gather the Women: The Time is Now
We acknowledge that we cannot know the outcome
of our work, and that this work is continuously unfolding
in powerful, expansive ways we could not imagine.
Therefore, we commit ourselves to following that energy as
best we can in a fluid process based on faith.

In 2004, Gather the Women broadcast an invitation to the grassroots women of the world:
we are looking for women to step into leadership to anchor one of 6 Gather the Women Congresses
on 6 Continents. Each of the six Congresses would be anchored by women leaders in diverse
regions of the world and would reach out to build networks of regional women and women's
organizations. Each would be organized with an emphasis on inviting grassroots women to share
timely information, ideas and resources. 6 Congresses on 6 Continents was planned to be much
more than a series of meetings; it was to offer a capacity-building model to develop feminine leadership
skills and collaborative partnerships in concentrated hubs around the world.
Women around the world began immediately to say 'yes' to this invitation, and the journey began.
Regional Congress planning circles were formed, and several meetings were held in 2004 and 2005
to build supportive global connections. Over a two year period, unique regional Congresses
began to take shape.
The first GTW Congress convened in Canada in June 2006, followed by Africa in December 2006 and
Australia in July 2007. Planning continues for South America, Europe and Asia.
The Congresses
Circles of women in various regions of the world are at various
stages of the planning and execution of these grassroots gatherings.
Please pass this news along to anyone you know who should be invited
into the conversation.
