The Four Faces of Woman

 

The Journey So Far

1993
In Australia in early 1993. A vision…

There they were, women emerging from all directions, moving independently towards an unseen destination. They moved in complete silence, walking tall in their own power. From where I watched, the qualities of love and humility were deeply etched in their powerful forms.

An unseen and silent signal saw the women turn. They now moved as one, focused and moving forward together. They were still silent, physically independent, and yet totally soul connected. As they moved forward, the world – all the children, adults, animals and nature – all seemed to release a deep and grateful sigh of relief.

This was then replaced with the vision of a man.  He represented the archetypal corporate ruler of the 90’s - stressed and overburdened. He struggled in his heroic efforts to try and hold up the heavy and ailing globe of the world. Just when he looked as though he couldn’t manage any longer, he looked up he saw the women. They moved with such grace, free from aggression. They wore the unifying theme of simple white – truce, peace, purity. As he watched them he knew he was saved. The burden lifted from him.

His thought released him from his bondage - "Thank God... I don’t have to pretend I know what to do anymore."

And then it was over.

And then it began.

October 1993 saw the first Women of Spirit event. Beyond the Feminine Principle.

During 3 years, Women of Spirit spread to nearly 40 countries around the world, hosting regular gatherings where women shared meditation time and stories of their spiritual journeys.
