Our question: What is our role as women in creating the future of our world?

"The world will be saved by the western woman."
His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Something amazing is happening for us as women. As one of the first generations liberated from the tasks of mere survival, we now have the freedom, the credentials, the resources and the interest to turn our attention toward the full transformation of ourselves and our world.

Never before have we as a global group of women been holding so much potential, or so much power, to shape our collective future....

Yet, what is the pathway to awakening the fullness of our authentic power as women?

Where should we give our energy and attention in order to make our greatest contribution?

And how might we work together and support each other in this process?

We invite you to join our global community of women as we come together to engage the most important questions of our time.

Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom
by Rick Hanson Ph.D. by New Harbinger


Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and other great teachers were all born with a brain built essentially like anyone else's. Then they used their minds to change their brains in ways that changed history.

With the new breakthroughs in neuroscience, combined with insights from thousands of years of contemplative practice, you, too, can shape your own brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom.

Written with neurologist Richard Mendius, M.D., and with a Foreword by Daniel Siegel, M.D. and a Preface by Jack Kornfield, Ph.D., this book joins modern science with ancient teachings to show you how to have greater emotional balance in turbulent times, as well as healthier relationships, more effective actions, and greater peace of mind.

Well-referenced and grounded in science, the book is full of practical tools and skills that you can use in daily life to rewire your brain over time. The brain is the bodily organ that most affects who you are and your experience of living - so learning how to take good care of it, and strengthen  and direct it in the ways that will help you the most, is a profound gift to yourself, and to everyone else whose life you touch.

Babies Need Mothers: How Mothers can prevent mental illness in their children
By Clancy D McKensie, M.D.
       






This book is a fascinating contribution and well worth reading, precisely because it upsets the applecart.  It's recommended  to anyone who wants to get beyond rigid categorization in psychiatry and look at enduring problems of the mind in new ways. Raymond Moody Author, Life After Life; MD, Psy.D, PhD philosophy Dr. McKenzie's book is revolutionary. Some long sought answers to causes of psychosis and other severe mental illnesses are explained in clear and understandable language. He not only describes cause and effect, but also provides clear remedies for healing that are unique and long lasting. He shows clearly and unmistakably the way to recover health, and his findings could change the prevailing way of treating chronic mental difficulties. Harold Stern, PhD, Psychoanalyst This book is a further development of ideas described in Delayed Posttraumatic Stress Disorders from Infancy: The Two Trauma Mechanism by Clancy D. McKenzie, MD and Lance S. Wright, MD. I have used this latter book in my courses at Georgetown University, in courses on the family and courses on philosophy of psychoanalysis. The ideas of the book were enlightening, stimulative and provocative. I plan to continue to use the ideas of Dr. McKenzie in my classes. In his new book Dr. McKenzie makes recommendations about child rearing practices. His new book is rich in ideas and promises a fruitful debate about the psychological origins of mental illness. No one will regret reading this book.

I love this book and was disappointed when it ended. It immediately captured me and I was immersed in her story. It reads easy like a good novel but the story is  true. If you've lost someone close  this book can give you a perspective that will bring some comfort. This would be a great book to read this Halloween weekend when they say the veils between this side and the other is very thin.



Fringe Dweller on the Night Shift: True Stories from an Afterlife Paramedic
by Monica Holy




By day, Monica Holy's life looks like millions of others. She paints, jogs, talks to friends, and worries about her children. Monica's nightlife is a different story. Since birth, she has entered extraordinary worlds of consciousness through the portal of lucid dreams. While there, she conducts souls to the other side and to the light, teaches, guides, and heals. She enters those non-ordinary realities not just to explore them, but to work on behalf of the human community. In Fringe Dweller on the Nightshift, she eloquently recounts her psychic and spiritual work with the troubled dead, the newly dead or those about to die - especially children - to provide emergency relief. She also brings back messages from the world beyond this one, by offering each and every one of us inspiration and ideas for honoring our feelings and connecting to the divine expression of all that is. Ultimately, we will all see The Grid (chapter 10): the invisible reality beyond our five senses that underlies all physical form as we know it. Fringe Dweller on the Nightshift combines cosmic adventure with down-to-earth practical information - part art, part memoir, part philosophy, part guidance, this book is a work of the heart.
