Oneness is the force that
unifies all creation. What happens to one part, one individual, one ecosystem, affects all others. Therefore we must tend to the whole and care for every part. — Rev. Joan Brown Campbell

Global Peace Initiative of Women: Making Way for the Feminine for the Benefit of the World Community, Jaipur, India—March 2008
One of the key feminine principles is knowing the power of unity and interconnection, the intuitive sense of Oneness. This gathering brought together several hundred women, men, and young people from around the world who hold positions of leadership in their communities, to reflect upon ways of bringing the values of the feminine––peacemaking, cooperation, nurturing, compassion and reverence for the sacred interconnection of all life—and the highest role of the masculine—creating a safe and protected environment for all life—into our contemporary world. To bring peace to our communities and nations, we must first establish peace within and bring greater balance to our mental framework. The honoring of the feminine principle is key to this process. The feminine is the receptacle, the energy that holds the space for transformation. It is time to allow the feminine to emerge, to embrace it, each one of us, male and female alike, so that we can bring greater balance to the dual forces of nature and of our being, the masculine and feminine, the yin and yang. This is all part of the process of transformation into a more peaceful, caring and sustainable world community. — Dena Merriam, Founder and Convener, GPIW
