Episode Description
A tireless advocate for the rights, protection and promotion of women in advancing the positive evolution of humanity toward cooperative, peaceful and harmonious interactions, Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen, shares her dedication in fulfilling her role as a message carrier to recognize the importance of women in shaping the quality of our historic, contemporary and future worlds. A firm believer in mobilizing grassroots activism to create a critical mass necessary for global transformation, Dr. Shinoda Bolen addresses the importance of cultivating a meaningful inner directed life that can be outwardly expressed in actions motivated by love. Women are crucial to generating an end to patriarchy and the modalities of power over and domination, to cooperative behaviors that encourage dialogue, empathy, and compassion. To this end, she wrote Moving Toward the Millionth Circle: Energizing the Global Women’s Movement, and gave away 1800 copies at the UN CSW in March, 2013.
