Power of Reconciliation

The Power of Reconciliation(formerly Gender Reconciliation) program synthesizes wisdom from world's spiritual traditions to foster new dimensions of healing and reconciliation between women and men. Both women and men are afflicted by gender injustice, and each needs the other for a true and complete healing. The process of the Power of Reconciliation builds upon the important advances of the women's and men's movements, yet goes beyond them both in recognizing the gender crisis as a collective spiritual crisis. The premise of this work is that transforming relations between feminine and masculine dimensions of human society is fundamental to creating lasting, positive social change. Developed over the past 15 years by Satyana Institute and its precursors, over 40 events have been organized to bring women and men together to jointly confront gender injustice. These events have been held in the United States, South Africa, India, Croatia, and Australia.

Satyana's Power of Reconciliation work has now expanded to South Africa, where the new Constitution guarantees gender justice as a fundamental human right. In collaboration with the parliamentarian and former Deputy Minster of Health for South Africa, Nozizwe Madlala Routledge, we are exploring avenues to strengthen the implementation of gender equity in the South African society. At the invitation of Ms. Madlala-Routledge, Satyana Institute offered a six-day intensive, November 9-14, 2006, to introduce its Power of Reconciliation program to a group that included senior government officials and Members of Parliament.
Satyana's is continuing collaboration continues with our South African colleagues with programs currently being offered to expanded audiences, including members of the Alternatives to Violence Training (AVT) program and clergy from the South African Council of Churches.
