Gender Equity and Reconciliation is designed to forge and accelerate new pathways of mutual healing, respect, and creative collaboration and partnership across the gender divisions in society.
In the wake of #MeToo and wave after wave of agonizing revelations of systemic sexual harassment across our society, we are called to come together as human beings to share the deep truths of our lives and hearts, to bear witness and embrace the painful experiences of patriarchal conditioning and oppression, and to join together to transform this ruinous legacy of gendered pain into profound new possibilities of beloved community.
This is not about women versus men, but rather justice versus injustice. Please join us as women and men working together—to catch the wave of this unique moment in our cultural evolution, and begin co-creating a new pathway for women and men in society.
For the past 26 years, Gender Equity and Reconciliation international (GERI) has created safe forums to empower men and women to jointly unravel gender and sexual conditioning without blame or shame, and reclaim mutual harmony, inspiration, and reverence for each other. Guided by the twin powers of truth and compassion, a collective healing and reconciliation process consistently unfolds, supported by skillful facilitation.
Please join us as we confront these devastating issues with the power of love, and become not only allies, but full collaborating partners in jointly deconstructing ruinous patriarchal structures and gender oppression in all its forms.
We hope you will join us for this powerful gathering, as we strive to walk together in these troubling times with care, sensitivity, integrity, and a commitment to healing and reconciliation.
