When Men & Women Join Hands

It’s time to step into a brave new paradigm of relating with each other. Gently, slowly, with care and presence in our hearts, words, and actions.

For far too long we have been divided.

Women and men, both feeling on opposite sides of a chasm. Both desiring the other, both afraid, both held by expectations, disappointments, and imagination.

I believe it is time for us to step into a new paradigm of relating with each other.

One of the most potent ways to do this is to begin creating intentional spaces where both men and women’s voices are heard, wounds felt and healed, and our collective light and shadows are given space.

The encouraging part is both men and women have already been doing this. While often for different reasons and intentions, it seems we all recognize the value of cohesion and unity amongst one another.

It is important to note that in many ways, women have led the way.

Through both good intentions and sadly all too often due to the need for cohesion in the face of discrimination and strife, united women have brought much strength, hope, and healing into the world…
