For many years I’ve had the innate understanding that the feminine power of women; that is women expressing our true nature of birthing, tending, nurturing and cultivating is necessary to heal the planet.

Now, I embrace this truth even more fervently.

With breakdowns in every sector of society, disarray and decay within our institutions and systems, a new paradigm of leadership, engagement and community is called for. Given the state of our society and the world in general, what choice do we have?

Will we choose Exploitation or Emancipation? Extinction or Evolution?

These times call for women’s leadership, the re-emergence of the divine feminine with values of authenticity and equity; practices of co-creativity, cooperation, collaboration and community; a shared vision of relationship building, sustainability and justice for the highest good of the whole.

Although the patriarchy has caused pain for women and men, I’m not advocating that men be removed from positions of power.  However, I’m saying that women’s leadership is imperative to restore balance and wholeness for the future of humanity, and in fact all sentient beings and the planet.

Therefore, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to co-create a new model of partnership, one that is life-affirming, equitable and inclusive.

• What might a new model of partnership look like in governance at the local and national level? 
• How would business and commerce function in a world in which cooperation over competition, and equitable distribution of human and material resources is valued? 
• In what ways would a new model of leadership transform our economic and financial institutions?

I invite you to join the dialogue so that we can co-create together. Our future depends on a shared commitment to health and wholeness for our planet, and all that is sustained upon and by our planet.
