UNITING FOR THE 58th UN CSW
Circle Highlights, March 6, 2014
From UN Women's Circles Connecting at LightPages
Dear IPPI, PTP, ECI Delegates, Sister Delegates and Friends,
As we turn our attention toward the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, we are contributing to a field of energy that has been created by thousands and thousands of women from all over the world for 58 years. Out of this field of intention, women have been steadily coming together over the years as a global force for change, globally in world conferences, and locally in circles.
We join over a decade of circle-minded delegations from Millionth Circle, Circle Connections, Gather the Women, Women of Spirit and Faith, We are Enough, and an array of sister circle-based organizations, as well as the International Public Policy Institute, Pathways to Peace and others with consultative ECOSOC status at the UN, to model the energy and technology of circle, and to seed a circle-based 5th World Conference on Women. We invite women to continue the process of convergence that happens with every CSW, and that became formal with the creation of UN Women, and embrace the creative conversations that emerge when deep spiritual currents of relationship are tapped in circle.
