Dale Allen's June Greetings

A Call for Your Input

from Dale Allen and Marilyn Nyborg,

co-founder of the Gather the Women Global Matrix, and creator of Women Waking the World.   

Marilyn Nyborg and I have been collaborating on several projects.  Below she writes to you, the recipients of my newsletter with a request for your input.

"The integration of the feminine dimension of consciousness is the missing link and essential element needed to set right the multitude of crises on our planet.  Impressive work like Dale Allen's wonderful In Our Right Minds truly lays out the core issues of imbalance.  How can we compliment her work by taking the next step?  What are the next steps to regain wholeness?

Women Waking the World is a global initiative and movement to restore women's wisdom, values, and influence for planetary survival. The imbalance of the masculine and feminine lies at the root of the world's problems.   Thomas Berry writes, "Women and the Earth are inseparable. The fate of one is the fate of the other."  Deep-seated patterns of thought continue to repress both men and women.  Patriarchal systems demean women's value, opinions and influence by confining the emotional range and roles of gender. 

WWW would like to suggest that we begin identifying next steps by launching an in- depth conversation to define ideas and create the balance needed to support the gifts of our right brain.  It seems that change does not occur through education, but by reaching people who have influence; because when people of influence model a change, others follow. What are the "how toos" on the path to a world that is balanced?  And who are the models for change?  Read Influencer: The Power to Change Anything by Kerry Patterson for more on the path from idea to experience.

Now here's where you come in.  We are asking you for your thoughts on the following:

How do we bring respect and reverence to that which we hold as feminine? 

What steps will bring our brains into wholeness? 

What questions do we need to ask?  

What are some potential solutions? 

What stories of reconciliation between the genders can we share? 

What behaviors' would demonstrate the values we are seeking to implement?   

What would be most useful?

What would be the easiest to accomplish?

What changes would you have to make personally?
