If you feel the call to gather as women, to connect, to honor and learn from each other and from Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., we invite you come to the first Gather the Women-Idaho event. Come by yourself or with a friend or friends. Come with your women's circle or come to learn how to form one. Come to celebrate our theme: The Ways of Women
"The only real hope Is to draw upon the
collective wisdom of women...
Women in circles,
Women connecting,
Women together."
~Jean Shinoda Bolen,
MD

Morning Keynote:: Jean Shinoda Bolen "Urgent Message From Mother: Gather the Women, Save the World."
"Gather the Women" is a call from Mother Earth and the Sacred Feminine to bring the feminine principle, mother power and the sister archetype into consciousness, to become a critical mass, a tipping point--through the metaphoric millionth circle. Women as a gender--as a whole, not every woman, but women generally--have a wisdom that is needed to save families and the world. Compassionate Activism begins with the motivation, that in author Alice Walker's words, "Anything we love can be saved."
Morning Workshop: "The Millionth Circle and the Grail Story: Healing Psyche and Planet.
In this workshop, Jean will bring us into the legendary, mythic and spiritual realm of the Grail Legend. The wounded Fisher King, the healing Grail and the wasteland are symbols of outer reality and inner metaphors. We will listen to stories, remember what is meaningful to us, learn about forming circles with a spiritual center and be inspired to join others to make a difference and from gratitude, to give back. Jean's books inspired an organization (www.millionthcircle.org.) and the need for a 5th Women's World Conference (www.5WWC.org).
