Out of a clear awareness of the magnificence of women, the power of circles, and the longing for connection that all women feel, Circle Connections, Inc. was called into being. Our mission is developing and fostering new models of organization and leadership based on circle principles. We serve to empower women through Circles and Connections, locally and globally. Women have an important voice to be heard and the connecting of circles is a path to peace and justice.

Circles of Ten: Women for World Peace is a nonprofit organization that began in Boulder, Colorado in 2001 with a vision of women connecting through peace circles around the world. It is based on the simple concept that peace resides in each of us--it just needs to be activated. We show people how to do that using a simple three-step process. Participants realize what peace means in their own lives and how they can make a difference in their families, communities and the world.

We offer training and products that allow anyone to start a circle anywhere!

We conduct circles in many locations, and also provide telephone circles to reach further. Circles have been conducted as far away as Kenya. We are rapidly making new connections to help spread our vision of a peaceful world throughout the US and to every country on the globe. We support participants in experiencing themselves as peacemakers on all levels who can make a difference in the world. Women from every race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, and national origin utilize their unique gifts to influence and effect immediate positive change.

Creative Health Network serves an international community of people from all walks of life, nationalities, races, cultures, and ages that take an active interest in what we call "creative health."

Our motto is Agreement = Manifestation

CHN's main function has been to create forums for humanitarians to meet, interact with each other, and share their visions. In our experience cooperation, creativity and a sense of community follow naturally when people come together as equals. These outcomes occur both locally and globally. These forums can be life changing major events such as the Healing Summit conferences in California, Glastonbury UK, Siberia, Australia, Israel or local meetings, retreats, workshops and peace concerts.

The first group will be Iraqi, Afghani, Israeli and Palestinian women. They will be attending the 2003 Gather the Women Congress. Every two months a new region of the world will tour America. They will meet with women from all walks of life in cities across the United States to listen and to be listened to; to heal and to be healed. They will exchange and promote ideas which deepen understanding of one another and the challenges of their country; sit and stand and sing and dance in circles sharing spiritual traditions of peacemaking opening their hearts and mind to compassionate action.

At this time of rapid change in human society and global ecology there is a need for the connecting, coordinating, and integrating of individual and organizational initiatives working on behalf of balanced, ethical, and life-enhancing evolution for humanity and Earth.

The unusual goal of this project is not to seek a solution Palestinian conflict, but instead to create an image that hopes for peace, and that might open our imagination to new ways of living together. Therefore we aim to:

1) Educate ourselves and others about the history and complexity of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians

2) Keep our actions apolitical, not working for or against any particular faction, but instead to make our actions humanitarian

3) Seek the healing that interaction between peaceful individuals can offer, and to offer this as a path toward solution, if not the solution itself.

The mission of the Global Coalition for Peace is:

• To propagate the importance of non-violence (ahimsa) for an effective and positive societal transformation leading to world peace.
• To explore and practice the ways in which violence can be replaced by non-violence (ahimsa): in our personal lives (anger), homes (domestic violence), schools (bullying and criminal actions), workplace (harassment and abuse), in sports (intentional injury), daily life (road rage), etc.
• To support all actions conducive of the unity of human kind regardless of man-made barriers as created by religious, national, ethnic, economic and political differences,
• To promote universal understanding of the relationship of human beings as a planetary family unit,
• To uphold the notion of the sacredness of human life,
• To explore the magnitude and different forms of economic slavery,
• To promote Satyagraha as defined by M.K. Gandhi as "The Force Borne Out of Truth and Love."

To stimulate a realization that all have similar hopes and dreams, newsletters and the network's website help link humanity around the world. Familiarity breeds tolerance, then love and understanding, and this leads to peace. By coming together in global meditation to help solve problems both large and small, the act itself strengthens global consciousness which also leads humanity toward a goal of peace.

We are part of a tradition inspired by a dynamic social movement— born in a historical moment often remembered as The Decade of Women.

The distinct presence of Women's Studies in U.S. higher education is a marker of sorts – marking a significant admission: a big, old, recurring blindspot in mankind's quest for knowledge … and wisdom. The blindspot in a word: womankind.

Women's Studies dares to put old 'truths" to the test—and dares, too, to listen hard, look closely, "meet the universe halfway" (to borrow the words of Karen Barad). We trust that perspectives which can open, change and grow just might make the world better—and make us better, too.

Our program is sustained through a network of committed faculty across the curriculum who believe in the importance and value of such work.

In a nutshell, the KSU Women's Studies Program offers students a chance to experience the sort of vital, timely and ultimately necessary shifts in perspective that come from daring to re-consider "it" all—with the female half of the human race factored into the countless schemes-of-things— and not as 'the second sex.' Rather, primary, fundamental, essential and real.

Kent State's Women's Studies Program offers flexible and diverse coursework that taps into the distinct scholarship across fields and disciplines known as Women's Studies.

"The time is now and women must lead. It can be no other way." They are calling us to come forward and step into our power.

Today, hundreds of women worldwide devote countless resources toward educating women and girls about the positive aspects of menarche, menstruation and menopause. They do this in a myriad of beautiful ways within the academic, artistic, medical, mental health, social, business, spiritual and alternative educational fields. Yet, quite often they do this in isolation with little societal or financial support. At the same time, many more women and girls are seeking information and guidance about their bodies and their place in this world as women and are unable to access the help they need.

The Red Web Project was created to address these needs.

1. To provide a central repository for information written and compiled on the subject of positive menarche, menstruation and menopause. This will be done through a website that will become a link for menstrual educators worldwide to share resources and ideas. Additionally it will be a comprehensive resource center for public education as well as a way for anyone to find the services of a menstrual educator in their area.

2. To become a generously funded Foundation which will support widespread free educational programs for women and girls of all economic and cultural backgrounds and

3. To sponsor yearly conferences on the subject of menarche, menstruation and menopause for greater public education and awareness.

The purpose of the Association, as expressed in its national charter, is:

1.To heighten U.S. public awareness and increase public knowledge of global issues and their relation to the United Nations system;

2.To encourage, where appropriate, multilateral approaches in dealing with these issues;

3.To build public support for constructive U.S. Policies on matters of global concern;

4.To enhance the effectiveness of the United Nations and other international institutions;

5.To actively solicit funds and membership to achieve these goals.

By deepening spiritual awareness, Women of Wisdom serves to empower the lives of others.

The qualities of nurturing, kindness, caring, dignity, integrity, and loving one another are innate in both women and men. Our cultures have ignored the value of these qualities and have attributed them primarily to women. Therefore it is time for women to come forward with these qualities that they know and live so well. Women contribute fully 2/3 of the work in the world. Women constitute over 51% of the population. What an impact we can have if we all think peace together, be peace together and act peace together on the same day!

As women we have been led to believe we were powerless, therefore we were powerless. We are powerful; our work output and numbers can demand and create the changes that are desperately needed. As women, we have to do many things in our lives when we don't know how to do them. Yet we know they have to be done, so we set our intentions and accomplish our goals.

As women we also know we can work together - we jump to immediate action in a crisis for our family, friends and neighbors during illness, natural disaster or direct attack. Our world is in extreme crisis with all the wars and the philosophy of greed as a virtue. Let us consciously invest our power in that which will bring joy, peace, and prosperity to all.
