Healing Man, Healing Woman Movement Begins

Dear Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Leader, Lover, Friend;

The miseducation of men, women, boys and girls has not only created alienation between the sexes, but also division within ourselves. Our limited beliefs about man- and womanhood have crippled our ability to live openly and peacefully together or on our own. Our misconceptions have taught us to fear, negate and subdue the empowered man or woman within us all. This has led men and women down adversarial paths for centuries, manifesting in accepted “traditions” of shame, pain, inequality, disconnection from our sons and daughters, sexual frustration, high divorce rates, financial instability, and spiritual unrest, just to name a few.

The Healing Man, Healing Woman global movement helps men and women to:

* Create a safe community in which to explore, express and nurture our complete selves
* Change the way we see ourselves and each other
* Evolve the relationship between the sexes
* Make the collective shift from “wounded” to “well”
* Work together to put ourselves back on a unified path
* Redefine manhood and womanhood in a liberating and empowered way

Men and women are not opposite sexes. We are complimentary. Once we embrace this truth, we’ll be on an important road to mending the connection to ourselves and each other.

Take a revolutionary step with us as Healing Man, Healing Woman launches a three-part tele-panel hosted by Dr. Anita Davis-DeFoe and Dr. Antonia M.

Thursdays, 7:30-8:30pm ET:

** January 7, 2010 - The Wounds We Need to Heal
** February 4, 2010 - Nurturing the True Man & Woman Within

** March 4, 2010 - Redefining Love, Sex & Family

Circle of 99 Launched..DeFoe Creates Think Tank for Women and Girls

I am excited about the launch of my global sister circles, the Circle of 99 during the Barbados Manufacturing Expedition 2009 (BMEX). The Circle of 99 is a think tank for women and girls that focuses on their personal and leadership development, as well as provides entrepreneurial and career planning support.

For seasoned, emerging, and the would be entrepreneur, the Circle of 99 is a personal, business and leadership network for women around the globe. Sharing knowledge, career and life wisdom; hosting events, and mobilizing women worldwide, women and girls are being invited to step into the circle and then guide its growth into their communities. The intent is to create of Circle of 99 on every island, in the 50 states, Canada, and selected communities worldwide.

The benefits of joining the circle are numerous; women will share knowledge, resources and barter services; career and business development training and information will be provided online and during local seminars, Circle of 99 assembled life and career experts will share wisdom with women and girls in the circle so that they too can create and enjoy more fulfilling lives. Using inventive technology provided by sponsors CaribVoice Radio and 365 Web Radio, Dr. DeFoe will be afforded the capacity to link with all of the women in the circle at any given time.

“This is an opportunity for women to harness the knowledge, skills and support that often goes untapped. Too often, women suffer in silence or feel uncomfortable reaching out to other women because sometimes we do not know how to, or feel threatened mentoring and coaching one another. The Circle of 99 represents an elevated mode of thinking, a chance for women to learn how to work in collaborative, cooperative partnership so that we all can truly manifest our destinies, experience personal joy and greater fulfillment. The number nine is of spiritual significance as it represents divine completeness, for no matter what you multiply the number by and then add its product, the sum is always nine…hence this circle can be a source of unity which serves to uplift the individual, the family and ultimately community.”

Women who are interested in learning how to create such a circle for women or girls, or to become the Circle of 99 Ambassador on your island contact Dr. DeFoe at dradefoe@gmail.com.
