Friday Evening Event: 20th Annual Women of Wisdom Conference
Opening music by Gina Salá
Jean Houston, Ph.D.
Women and the Re-patterning of Human Nature
There is a hidden fact that rising of women today is also resulting in a re-thinking and re-development of human nature.
Why? Because for a new world to be born we have to bring a new mind to bear. Critical to this is the rich mind style of women that has been gestating in the womb of preparatory time, lo, these many millennia. Rising with it can be a tremendous change in how we do things. The emphasis here being on process rather than just on product, on making things cohere, relate, grow. The relationships between people and things becomes more important than final outcome. The world within becomes as important as the world without.
Ubaka Hill
