1) Gather the Women International
Congress vibrates with hope. We attract women from around
the world who are intelligent, curious, open, authentically alive,
spiritually mature and globally connected .... and these women
are changing the world every day. When you walk in the door of
the Omni Mandalay, you will feel the powerful energy of hope generated
by bringing such women together. The world needs that hope; we
need that hope at this exact moment in human history.
2) Gather the Women International
Congress is not a traditional conference; it has been created
with the intention to serve as a living matrix of women and women's
organizations, encouraging new models for collaboration and partnership.
The result is an experience that is alive, fluid, expansive and
transformational.
3) We do not seek to
change minds but to connect hearts. GTW does not endorse
any particular stance on any particular issues; we do not seek
to tell women what they should think and feel. Rather, we seek
to create a space where women can explore and expand the powerful
pieces of common ground we all share.
4) This Congress will
be rich with ceremony and ritual, with eloquent speakers
and stimulating workshop, with musical performance and artistic
expression, with prayer and silence, with singing and dancing,
with women speaking into the circle as they have since the beginning
of times. It will reflect the wholeness of the feminine experience.
5) Women's leadership,
your leadership, has never been as important as it is right now.
This Congress will provide you with the resources and support
you need to empower others when you get back home. Amazing things
will grow from the seeds we plant together, from the nutrients
we offer, from the intentions we hold.
