The work reported in this book is practical and experiential in nature, rather than analytical or theoretical, and the results are applicable in a wide range of theoretical or philosophical contexts.
Theories abound about the nature of gender differences, and of course these theories often contradict each other. For the present work, although we value this spectrum of perspectives, it matters little which theoretical, philosophical, or spiritual perspective the reader holds about the nature of gender, or related questions. Individuals and communities from vastly diverse philosophical backgrounds have found deep meaning and value from the insights and transformations they experienced through the GERI process. As the reader will discover, what transpires in the events reported in this book does not depend for its validity on any particular philosophical perspective, theory of gender, or spiritual orientation.
For this work, what is more important than any particular perspective or intellectual framework is the sincerity of each individual's heart, and the willingness to enter deeply into a process of personal and collective truth-telling, discovery, and transformation.Inspired by principles of Truth and Reconciliation, the Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI) program has delivered innovative trainings for over 30 years to tens of thousands of people on six continents. Endorsed by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, GERI provides a rare forum for revolutionary transformation of injustice relating to gender and sexuality, and establishing beloved community.
The GERI process begins with the "outer" alchemy of reconciliation in community--transforming and rebalancing masculine/feminine dynamics in groups and communities. The polarity of feminine/ masculine is but one manifestation of a more general principle of cosmic complementarity, expressed in different ways across the traditions: solar/lunar archetypes, anima/animus (Jung), yin/yang (Taoism), form/emptiness (Buddhism), and so on. Each polarity represents a spectrum, and the union of the respective dualities opens an intimate hidden pathway of "inner" alchemy that leads to profound spiritual realization. This remarkably transformative path can be found in all major spiritual traditions.
Every human being has a legitimate voice in the gender conversation. To honor this, GERI has developed its signature program for healing between women and men.
