Gender Equity & Reconciliation

Give today to help this healing work grow. Thanks to a generous donor, every gift you make will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $150,000 — doubling the power of your generosity. 👉Link to Donate in BIO During this season of gratitude, we reflect on another remarkable year as the GERI movement continues to open hearts and communities across the world. From the United States to Colombia, Spain, Czechia, Italy, India, Kenya, South Africa, and Korea, dozens of GERI workshops have taken root. 

In each place — whether a quiet retreat center, a bustling university hall, or a humble village room — we have witnessed the same unmistakable courage and compassion: people choosing truth over silence, empathetic resonance over dissonance, and reclaiming their original connection with one another. In these precarious times –– when so much is pulling us apart –– these circles of reconciliation are more important than ever for reclaiming our shared belonging, and rejuvenating our beloved communities. Every GERI program, every story offered in vulnerability, every moment of recognition has helped mend the deep fabric of gender relations across the globe. Please give your donation to help this healing work spread far and wide — throughout our troubled and beautiful human family, longing to restore its wholeness. Thank you for supporting this work of restoration and reconciliation. Every. Gift. Counts. 💜 We gratefully welcome your tax-deductible contributions toward realizing the vision of a healed world. 👉 Link to Donate in BIO @grworldorg | @geri.hispano | @garrette1005 | @inthespiralpty | @tristanjohannes | @silvia_araya_psy | @hugo_sanchez_111 | @michelebreene | @anwaransarasna | #wehealtogether | #donate #donatetoday #dollarfordollar #give #genderequity #reconciliation #givethanks

Body of Joy: Ecstatic Spirituality Retreat June 5 - 10, 2026 Much of spirituality—East and West—rightly focuses on “up and out” practices, awakening the higher chakras to deepen compassion, spiritual insight, and wisdom. These are called “generation stage” practices in Tibetan Buddhism. As spiritual development advances, it becomes important to also include practices that are “down and in,” to awaken all the subtle energy centers in the human body, which then becomes a living microcosm of the larger cosmos. �This retreat focuses on natural embodied practices, drawn from eastern and western traditions, that awaken the spiritual energy and vitality of the entire human body— which leads to experiencing daily life as living in a “body of joy.” Drawing on dance, breathwork, art, yoga, movement, and diverse spiritual disciplines, join us as we reclaim our natural human birthright. With Tiffani Gyatso, Christine Marie Mason, Cynthia Brix, and William Keepin /ev/reg/jmvdp53 #BodyOfJoy #EcstaticSpirituality #SpiritualRetreat #EmbodiedSpirituality #SacredBody #BodyWisdom #ConsciousMovement #SpiritualCommunity #Breathwork

The Alchemy of Reconciliation: Awakening the Mysteries of Love between the Masculine and Feminine was ALIVE and vibrating at a high frequency last weekend at The Hive Retreat Center near Grand Rapids, Michigan (US), April12-15. The Alchemy of Reconciliation: Awakening the Mysteries of Love between the Masculine and Feminine was ALIVE and vibrating at a high frequency last weekend at The Hive Retreat Center near Grand Rapids, Michigan (US), April12-15. Everyone who participated in this Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI) workshop showed up with such authentic sharings that included stories of heartbreak in romantic and familial relationships –– mothers to sons, and fathers to daughters –– and, a longing for unconditional love and acceptance. Deep concern and righteous anger was expressed and held in the sacred container of our hearts, regarding gender injustices that are impacting us all, in every part of the world. The workshop included yoga each morning and Grof Breathwork on one of the days. Savithri Ezhumalai and Ava Brennan, GERI interns, offered dance and live music. We were blessed to have a team of GERI Trainers facilitating this workshop, Michele Breene, Hugo Sanchez, Cynthia Brix, and William Keepin, It was a joy to have with us GERI facilitator, Kristin Lietz, from our Latin American team and longtime GERI friend and GERI Companion Dennis Sturtz. The workshop concluded with beautiful honoring ceremonies. The women offered a sound bath followed by a trust walk, guiding the men on a journey from their birth to the present day, and along the way affirming the positive qualities of each man. The men offered foot massages to the women, and then invited each woman one-by-one into the circle of men, who showered her with affirmations and then chanted “Om” in unison as an expression of masculine support and blessing. Deep gratitude to Julian Lauzzana for the invitation to bring GERI to Michigan, and to Leah Grace, founder of the Somatic Wisdom Institute and, the Rev. Micheal Rocque from Unity of Grand Rapids for co-partnering with GERI for this event! www.GERI.global #wehealtogether
