A few weeks ago the Global Peace Initiative brought together some of the key women spiritual teachers who were with us at our founding gathering nearly 20 years ago. We asked them to provide insight into some of the positive shifts as we entered a new year. The sacred feminine has always been a key part of GPIWs work, and more recently we have begun to focus on how to access the higher, or sacred masculine energy, as the balance between the two is essential for a more harmonious and healthy society.
To achieve this balance in our work, we have now asked some of the men who have been a central part of GPIW to share their insights regarding this time of transition that we find ourselves in. There is much that is unknown about what lies ahead, but we do know that at the local and global levels shifts are underway that will impact the way we live and work. We will hear from the spiritual leaders who have helped shape our work over the years, including Swami Atmarupananda, Bhante Buddharakkita, Sraddhalu Ranade, Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Eddie Stern, Rabbi Rami Shapiro, Rev. Kosen Greg Snyder, Fr. Adam Bucko, Robert Toth, and Raghu Ananthanarayanan.
Our hope and expectation is that these shifts will lead to greater appreciation, love and care for earth and all her extended life forms.
