Planning for WMtE5

The pattern that I am seeing is that the WMTE experience is having a deepening effect on the women who participate. The bonding between women who are in the same place (like in Brussels with the Commission women) and who come together in multiple communities (like WMTE women then moving into AoH) empowers the women to acts of engagement and courage together where they would not manage so much on their own.

 

I know that there are many more women hungry to turn up for our next iteration of WMTE in Belgium... Which I am, of course, up for co-creating with you sisters!

Let's move to WMtE5!

Hello Helen,

That is such a good news! Although up to now there weren't many people in each of the gatherings, I find it still more than worthwhile - also for my own development. Just talked with Judy about your message here. After the WMtE in November near Boston, we can begin to plan the next one in Belgium again.

Place to be: King's Mill??

You bet!

Oh YES to Kingsmill! Book me into my favourite room straight away!! The sooner we can fix a date, the sooner we can start getting it into people's agendas! Open Space really takes on meaning when we have a larger number of women...

 

What's the top capacity of Kingsmill, do you think?

 


Me too!

Hello all

 

I'm very keen to consider WMtE5 at King's Mill in the spring 09 or whenever it wants to happen.  I was hoping to make the gathering in the US in November 08 but that's not going to happen unfortunately, so very open to seeing what emerges in Belgium!

Adding my Voice for WMtE 5

Even from across the pond I can sense and see the energetic connective threads that have taken form out of these WMtE gatherings in Belgium.   And Anne-Marie's most recent email brought us all right back - to our sense of purpose, to an acknowledgement of our work in the world, and most importantly into our sacred circle and sisterhood.   I do have a sense that out of that rare space we hold collectively, the feminine in all her fullness is emerging and integrating into the very essence of life- and on so many levels - emerging through us.  And so to continue to hold this space and to come together in place is a continuation of a very long thread spanning all of time.  We are connected from deep in our past into this very moment to our emergent future as our evolutionary path .    And so we continue!
