This year Gather the Women will participate in an International Women’s Day Ritual by holding the spiritual space for the IWD 2022 #BreakTheBias Themes by IMAGINING:
-
a gender equal world, free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination;
-
a world that is diverse, equitable and inclusive;
-
a world where difference is valued and celebrated.
Our intent is to expand awareness and value of integrating our “doing” with our “being” by holding the Energy [as Guardians] in support of all participants for this 2022 IWD event. We encourage participation in an International Circle Ritual by:
-
Reaching out and inviting our sisters in each country to hold an in-person or a virtual zoom event ritual on two Sundays: March 6 and 13 .
-
Holding a ritual on Sunday prior to March 8 and the Sunday after March 8 creates a sacred space, a container, to honor all these multiple points of inclusion and light for our planet.
-
Demonstrating the spiritual aspect of “being” instead of “doing” by creating sacred space and verbalizing (i.e., putting into the circle words that would convey the theme) and holding space for what other women’s circles are doing. We are spiritually holding sacred space for the collective.
-
Honoring and supporting women worldwide who are actively participating in IWD 2022 by “doing,” GTW is actively demonstrating and teaching how to “Be” more fully present.
-
Being more fully present in our support of the vision, we carry that energy into the world. Our 2022 ritual will send our “heart-space” out to everything that is going on around the planet. That’s the sacredness of our contribution.
March 6th and 13th
