Can this narrative become the basis for a movement that reshapes the social and economic field? What is emerging?
Our mission is to gather young leaders and wise elders to listen, reflect and explore ways to foster systemic changes that create unity among humanity and a loving, respectful relationship with Earth and all of life.
The Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW) was founded by a group of women religious and spiritual leaders to provide a global platform through which women and men, working in partnership, can foster the spiritual values of global unity, peacebuilding, and the development of all the peoples of the world. GPIW is an international network of women and men who come together to tap our collective spiritual wisdom to stimulate reconciliation and healing in areas of conflict and post-conflict and to deepen understanding of oneness, compassion, and the principles of ahimsa (non-harm) as central tenets of life. We believe that a shift in consciousness is needed, a change in heart and mind, if we are as a global community to meet the challenges of climate change, environmental degradation, poverty and hunger, violence, and conflict. Central to our work is the belief that the feminine qualities of wholeness, inclusion, and integration have a vital role to play in facilitating this shift and bringing greater balance to our world. Thus we make a great effort to draw upon the resources of women spiritual leaders as we seek to empower these vital qualities.
