GTW Sister Organizations
 Gather
the Women is the place of opportunity. It's where the
"women at the well" gain the tools of virtual
reality. It's where we begin to see our numbers and
our strength and come to understand that together we
are, in fact, unstoppable.
One of the most important aspects of Gather
the Women is our commitment to discovering new models
for effective collaboration. To fuel that creative
possibility, we have gathered together in this Matrix
a wonderful cross-section of Sister Organizations.
These are all organizations doing powerful transformational
work on this planet – working for peace, economic
sustainability, environmental issues, support for women
and children, health concerns, and a myriad of other
intentions that are all contributing to our planetary
well-being.
-
We at Gather the Women believe that there is an
incredible synergy possible when all these different
organizations come together in one container –
for connection, for sharing information and resources,
for collaboration on projects.
-
We believe that through such collaborative connection
we will discover abundance and effectiveness.
-
We believe when we can all gather together in one
place, we will indeed "see our numbers and
our strength and come to understand that together
we are, in fact, unstoppable."
Here you will find information about our Sister Organizations,
as well as an open invitation to join us. We
welcome new groups into the Matrix who share
our values and who feel called to join this co-creative
process.
Join us as a New Sister Organization
GTW welcomes new Sister Organizations
into the Matrix at any time. Our criteria are simple:
- Is your organization a non-profit organization of
any kind?
- Is your organization in alignment with the core
values of GTW, as spelled out in the GTW Vision Statement
and Covenant?
- Do you want to explore new models for collaboration?

CIRCLES
OF TEN
Contact: Sarah Hartzell
Website: www.peacecircles.net
Circles of Ten: Women for World Peace
is a nonprofit organization that began in Boulder, Colorado
in 2001 with a vision of women connecting through peace
circles around the world. It is based on the simple
concept that peace resides in each of us--it just needs
to be activated. We show people how to do that using
a simple three-step process. Participants realize what
peace means in their own lives and how they can make
a difference in their families, communities and the
world.
We offer training and products that allow anyone to
start a circle anywhere!
We conduct circles in many locations, and also provide
telephone circles to reach further. Circles have been
conducted as far away as Kenya. We are rapidly making
new connections to help spread our vision of a peaceful
world throughout the US and to every country on the
globe. We support participants in experiencing themselves
as peacemakers on all levels who can make a difference
in the world. Women from every race, religion, culture,
sexual orientation, and national origin utilize their
unique gifts to influence and effect immediate positive
change.

and complexity of the conflict between Israelis and
Palestinians
2) Keep our actions apolitical, not working for
or against any particular faction, but instead to
make our actions humanitarian
3) Seek the healing that interaction between peaceful
individuals can offer, and to offer this as a path
toward solution, if not the solution itself.

The
Red Web Foundation
Contact: Anna Yang
Website: www.theredweb.org
Today, hundreds of women worldwide devote countless
resources toward educating women and girls about the
positive aspects of menarche, menstruation and menopause.
They do this in a myriad of beautiful ways within the
academic, artistic, medical, mental health, social,
business, spiritual and alternative educational fields.
Yet, quite often they do this in isolation with little
societal or financial support. At the same time, many
more women and girls are seeking information and guidance
about their bodies and their place in this world as
women and are unable to access the help they need.
The Red Web Project was created to address these
needs.
1. To provide a central repository
for information written and compiled on the subject
of positive menarche, menstruation and menopause.
This will be done through a website that will become
a link for menstrual educators worldwide to share
resources and ideas. Additionally it will be a comprehensive
resource center for public education as well as a
way for anyone to find the services of a menstrual
educator in their area.
2. To become a generously funded
Foundation which will support widespread free educational
programs for women and girls of all economic and cultural
backgrounds and
3. To sponsor yearly conferences
on the subject of menarche, menstruation and menopause
for greater public education and awareness.

Vessels of Peace, founded in 2002, is a small but growing

into more than 35 states and seven countries. Our mission
is to assist in the evolution of human consciousness
through embodying, presencing and transmitting peace.
We are not affiliated with any one religion or path;
women from many different backgrounds participate, and
all are welcome. We aspire to be peace catalysts --
persons who, just by their presence in the world, precipitate
peaceful change and an experience of peace in those
around them. We are inspired in our serving by the Sacred
Feminine aspect of divinity, and believe there is a
crucial connection between the longing for peace and
the longing for the Sacred Feminine, both of which are
expressing in the world quite strongly at this time.
The work of Vessels of Peace primarily occurs within
each woman's heart. We serve through our inner transformation,
our outer example, and our individual and collective
intention. We are supported in our work through practices
given through divine guidance in the early days of Vessels
of Peace. Examples of these practices are: The 11 Intentions,
the Affirmation of Peace, the Walking with Peace meditation
and the Peace Mantras meditation. We freely share these
practices with all. We also offer many ways to come
together as a community: through our website, a monthly
email newsletter, email and teleconference call study
groups and classes, and through in-person gatherings
and meditation groups.

Women
Rise for Global Peace
Contact: Corrina
McFarlane
Website: www.womenrise.org
The qualities of nurturing, kindness, caring, dignity,
integrity, and loving one another are innate in both
women and men. Our cultures have ignored the value of
these qualities and have attributed them primarily to
women. Therefore it is time for women to come forward
with these qualities that they know and live so well.
Women contribute fully 2/3 of the work in the world.
Women constitute over 51% of the population. What an
impact we can have if we all think peace together, be
peace together and act peace together on the same day!
As women we have been led to believe we were powerless,
therefore we were powerless. We are powerful; our work
output and numbers can demand and create the changes
that are desperately needed. As women, we have to do
many things in our lives when we don't know how to do
them. Yet we know they have to be done, so we set our
intentions and accomplish our goals.
As women we also know we can work together - we jump
to immediate action in a crisis for our family, friends
and neighbors during illness, natural disaster or direct
attack. Our world is in extreme crisis with all the
wars and the philosophy of greed as a virtue. Let us
consciously invest our power in that which will bring
joy, peace, and prosperity to all.
