2005 GTW Regional Congress in Juneau, Alaska
Gather the Women: Building the Field
"Out beyond
ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll
meet you there." Rumi
Gather the Women is a global community of
women committed to practicing compassionate and collaborative
use of their personal power - a place to explore the new frontier
of feminine leadership
Information harvested at each congress will be shared on
the GTW website with women around the world.
Our theme will be "The Joy of Women in Song" and will feature
Shirley Mae Springer Staten from Anchorage. Shirley Mae is an international
singer, speaker, workshop facilitator, actress and event organizer.
She is the founder of One World/One People International Women's Choir.
The thread that connects Shirley Mae to Gather the Women is her role
as a cultural events coordinator and performer at the 1995 UN International
Women's Conference in Beijing.
Others who will sing with us will be Missouri Smyth, Gani Et Se,
and the Juneau Pride Chorus. Our circle gatherings on the questions
poised by Gather the Women will be held throughout the day.

Throughout the United States and the world on the weekend of November
11-13, 2005 GTW Regional Congresses will be held. It is an opportunity
to bring our voices and feminine energy together.
Collaboration of feminine leadership is
needed now.
Every woman counts. Let's bring our voices together. Join
us for this one-day event in Juneau, Alaska to
share and explore how our wisdom, creativity, skills, talents, personal
resources, and networking will sow the seeds to build a
field of feminine global leadership.
