International Women’s Day: I Love Being a Woman!
Dara Silverman, March 5 2018
Since the #MeToo movement began in October, we’ve seen one scandal after the next revealed in the media. What if women and men could step beyond these old roles of victim and perpetrator? While making the truth visible is a first necessary step, it’s also clear that we won’t find any true healing for sexual violence so long as we remain stuck in mutual accusation and revenge.
This International Women’s Day, March 8, we women of Tamera invite the women in our network and women around the world to stand in solidarity and say #ILoveBeingAWoman! Let us step beyond victimhood and resume our natural feminine authority to give healing orientation, sometimes fierce and sometimes soft, and end violence wherever we can.
Read the short piece “I Love Being a Woman” by Sabine Lichtenfels, our co-founder and head of the Global Love School, published by Uplift Connect. Revolutionary words for all women to regain our sexual and spiritual power.
