Dear Joy:

I have shown these music videos to a lot of people. I get so tickled when they start 'jiviing w/the music. I had the occasion to show some of them to Jill Carroll who was in Syracuse from Houston talking about the Amazing Faiths Dinner Dialogue Project (www.amazingfaithsproject.org). She is deeply involved in interfaith work and said (paraphrasing), "This rocks! This is exactly what is needed in the interfaith community. Many people think of interfaith work as serious, stodgy stuff. These WTB videos show the dynamism of interfaith work."

I agree. It's one thing to present a talk about the work of WTB, but your videos capture the joy and fun we have had over the years. I hope the folks at NAIN can better understand the enthusiasm and synergy WTB embodies.

THANK YOU!

Bets

Dear Betsy --

Yes, I will be very glad to send the message to your email address. I agree that this format can be a little awkward -- but I wonder if you have tried the "workshop blog" link (in the top section of links). That might be a little easier and more intuitive.

http://nain.org/2008/blog.cfm

Since I am the programmer that built this contraption -- maybe I will add a feature there that allows a respondent to optionally insert the message to which they are replying -- making the entire thing a little more like a forum or email discussion list. Plus, maybe a couple of other things -- like a way for an author to edit their own post, plus view it in a print format, plus show the full message to which they are replying....

*

I am also hoping you will take a look at this link -- describing the supposed conjunction of "resonant" interfaith theology and the women's circle movement, and suggesting that the renaissance of global culture might emerge through it...

http://lightpages.net/lp/message.cfm?messageid=264029&login=463354&mo=1

I have spent a lot of time tuning in on (and to some degree participating in) the "women's circle movement" -- and I definitely regard it as an important and leading influence in the emerging new spirituality.

There is a lot that can be said about all of this -- I'd like to see the entire business emerge from the creative crucible with an accelerating credibility and visibility -- it's an important force, emerging for primal and instinctive and deeply authentic reasons -- providing a kind of leadership that seems essential and not to be adequately found elsewhere....

Dear Bruce:

I received your post and wonder if you could send it to my email address: bwiggins@twcny.rr.com so that I can forward it on to the WTB Council. I find it very difficult to respond with this set up because the whole post is not on the screen. if anyone has posted since the last post, my response to the post is merely sequential and not listed after the post. I can't get the whole thing to print out completely. Can this be changed?

I'm sure this is the last thing you want to deal with 2 weeks out, so if it is a bother I will just hand write it out, retype it and send it to the Council.

I do appreciate your thoughts and would like to convey them to the Council before the NAIN meeting.

Hope you are having a good holiday weekend.

Dear Gay:

How beautifully you describe what so many of us have experienced in the sisterhood of Women Transcending Boundaries! We have indeed found many women looking for some way to make personal connections with those of other faiths. As you know it has been quite the journey, and continues to make WTB a safe place for women of all faiths to speak without fear of being judged and valued for her contribution to our knowledge. We are so grateful that Jennifer Crittendon continues to record all our meeting notes so that they are accessible at www.wtb.org for those interested at looking at the scope of topics we have discussed since 2001.

I loved your description of becoming involved in WTB, "you cooked and enjoyed meals with sisters of many faith traditions, was welcomed into homes, established deep friendships, shared joys and sorrows, and planned for a better and more peaceful tomorrow." I think part of the success of WTB is that we engage in activities that most women do. We talk, we cook, we share food, we sew, we think about our families in the context of war, our communities in times of economic hardship, our children and their education. We have found many women and men locally who believe in our work, and that there are sister groups doing the same sort of work such as SARAH and WISDOM that Diana Eck connected us with.

You got it. We are not alone and we do make a difference. We are not a "butterfly theory" demonstrated by helping build a secular school in Pakistan, contributing significantly to Women for Women, and working in literacy. We can connect with women not just in the U.S., but around the world to do the work we know must be done. We are helping women rebuild their lives devasted by war and famine. We are frankly tired of be regulated to picking up the pieces and would like to be on the side of preventing war and famine. As you so beautifully wrote: "The vision that Danya and Betsy held as they reached out to each other over a cup of coffee cotnues to unfold each day, not only here, but elsewhere as the energy of compassion and understanding builds bridges and opens doors that might otherwise have been permanently closed. Woment Transcending Boundaries dispels fears, opens hearts and creates a compelling energy toward co-creating a more peaceful and saner world for all of us."

Thank you Gay - you are a beacon of light of what to do and how to do it, not to mention you just do it. Does NIKE know about you?

Dear Daryl:

You are a great gift to WTB. You brought your experience in meeting planning to make our March International Dinner a great success. Your service work with InterFaith Works' Center for New Americans has been inspiring, not just to new refugees in our community, but to everyone involved in this process.

I applaud all the WTB women who have participated in the "Knitting-Together" group that has been meeting weekly at the Center for New Americans for about three years. Women who are new to this country have bonded, mentored by volunteers from Women Transcending Boundaries and Rapha. Many refugees have spent years in camps and have experienced unspeakable hardships. This weekly respite offers them a time to laugh and learn life skills such as knitting, creating crafts, operating sewing machines, learning English, cleaning and food storage, and sharing customs - both from thir own cultures and from our American culture.

I want to share with readers of this blog the "Fabric of Life" project. Courageous women of diverse cultures have come together from many lands to share laughter and tears, discovering the commonalities among them. They sew, knit, eat, dance, play and find strength in community.

This "Fabric of Life" project exemplifies many journeys . . . the earth tones represent the forests and jungles and deserts of Burmese, African and Middle-Eastern homelands. The stars represent the hope of each woman as she climbs toward new horizons. The rainbow strip of fabric represents the blending of cultures into a unified whole. Fish can be found swimming across miles of fabric, as these women have swum against many currents of life to achieve freedom and safety. Colorful paper clips hold tenuous relationships with new friends as well as connections to memories, homelands left and new lands found. One blue and green strip of swirling feathers symbolizes birds in flight, indicating divine order emerging from swirling chaos.

This is a beautiful work of art Daryl. It is an incredible demonstration of what the gift of personal time (from those of us who have so much) can mean in reaching out to help women who have suffered greatly, but are incredibly rich in spirit. One of the tangible results is this tapestry - a soul work of art transcending pain and chaos.

I think we find ourselves blessing each other in these encounters for the rare gifts we bring each other.

Thank you.

Bets

When I first saw the presence of WTB here in this NAIN context, I immediately got excited. I have been working with "women's circles" for some time now -- and, actually, have more or less had my general philosophy of interfaith revolutionized by that experience.

We have been "meeting in circle" here in Santa Barbara since the late 1990's -- mostly through the "Conscious Evolution" community inspired by Barbara Marx Hubbard. These meetings have been cross-fertilized by relationships with these new women's movement organizations -- and for me, the idea of "resonance" began to form. Today, it seems to me that the core of our common human understanding is best known and experienced at that level that is indeed "beyond words" (and the divisive duality of interpretation they inspire).

Thinking about this -- I started working on what I called "the theology of circles". This is just a tiny little project -- but the idea is: women's circles and the interfaith movement are two powerful forces for melting misunderstanding, and fusing unity without enforcing uniformity. They can and should be brought together. Maybe we're working on that here.

It was fun for me to see that WTB was introduced here in this conversation by Dr. Jim Wiggins -- and I got the idea that I would show him this little article.

It's kind of like -- "right brain / left brain" -- the all-inclusive deeply holistic intuition of women meets the complex intellectuality of comparative religion and interfaith. Have you seen that book, "The Alphabet Versus the Goddess"? It's like that -- knowing and feeling, versus words. (Here's a link to several chapters of that fascinating book by neurophysiologist Leonard Shlain - http://globalresonance.net/passage.cfm?psg=100099)

We need to get past "either/or". We need a "both/and" approach.

Here's a link to that article. Look out, Jim, I think I'm going to send this to you (!)

My experience as a member of Women Transcending Boundaries has been invaluable to me on a personal level in terms of spiritual growth and connections with those of other faiths. For some time, I had been searching for a faith (actually, interfaith) community where everyone is welcomed without judgment and where each person is valued for her presence in the circle. The first WTB event I attended several years ago was an international dinner for which all food was provided by the Muslim sisters. I witnessed and felt instant connections among all the women who attended, as heart-to-heart conversations whirled around, commonalities were shared and threads of our diversity were woven together. I continued to attend meetings, became part of the service committee, cooked and enjoyed meals with sisters of many faith traditions (or NO faith tradition), was welcomed into homes, established deep friendships, shared joys and sorrows, planned for a better and more peaceful tomorrow, and repeatedly came away feeling renewed, hopeful and excited.

Working with the service component has provided me with the opportunity to connect with many women from across the globe who are refugees in our city and who have experienced unspeakable hardship, horror and grief. The courage of these women is nothing less than awe-inspiring as they continue to rebuild their lives in a new land, facing enormous challenges and obstacles, and bit by bit, learning to laugh again. It is a privilege to work with these women, as it has been and continues to be a privilege to work with the women of WTB. The vision that Danya and Betsy held as they reached out to each other over a cup of coffee continues to unfold each day, not only here, but elsewhere as the energy of compassion and understanding builds bridges and opens doors that might otherwise have been permanently closed. Women Transcending Boundaries dispels fears, opens hearts and creates a compelling energy toward co-creating a more peaceful and saner world for all of us. I am ever so grateful.

Women Transcending Boundaries is an extraordinary group of women who care about each other unconditionally. They have opened their hearts to myself and hundreds of others in our culturally diverse community. WTB has blessed me personally with a gift. A gift of giving. For the past 3 years I have reconnected with a passion I had as a young adult. Working with the Center For New Americans and our refugee friends from many countries, has enabled each of us to bring laughter with these beautiful women.

It is a joy to be in the company of women who respect and appreciate each other for who they are inside. Our world has been given a priceless gift called WTB.

Dear Jennifer:

Thank you so much for how honestly you described your thoughts about your experince with WTB. Initially, I know you came to a meeting with very little information years ago and chose to get involved in service in WTB.

For 4 now you have held the position of WTB Secretary and have helped us keep the record of WTB meetings and events that can be found at www.wtb.org. which we consider essential documentation of where we started, what we have done, and imagining where WTB goes on from here, especially in celebration of our new 501 (c) (3) status.

You have a very strong voice in WTB. Your years in education keep us focused on our missions, and clean up our meeting notes.

More than the essential work you give to WTB, you understand "interfaith work," you bring new people into our projects, and ask the hard questions when we are planning projects. You are a great gift to WTB.

Thank you Jennifer.

Women Transcending Boundaries has been a wonderful, transforming gift in my life. I have been interested in interfaith issues since college when I was my church's representative to the campus Interfaith Council. Unfortunately, that organization was simply a committee to bring academic speakers who made no attempt to connect with the various faith groups. For many years I followed the religion of my birth, but wished for more.

My first WTB meeting was a revelation. Here was a diverse group of women who were warm and welcoming. They were eager to share their faith journeys, but did not try to promote their own paths as better. Believers in Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Baha'i, Wicca, and Hinduism joyfully have illustrated the role of Light in their rites and ceremonies. Women from a range of cultures have sung, danced, drummed, shared their culture's food. We have related the stories of our paths, explaining why we treasure our family's religion, or why we have changed. We are moved by each other's stories of what is most meaningful to each in her own rites. We have come to realize that we are more alike than different, and share the common values of family and justice for all.

My participation in WTB has deepened my own faith, not weakened or diluted it. In listening to others' stories, I have come to examine my own. I have become more aware and more appreciative of what my church does to foster faith and justice, and my own place in that plan. Although modern life tends to belittle or make a joke of religious practice, the women of WTB affirm the importance of faith and ritual. My association with WTB has enriched my life and has developed in me a strong commitment to pluralism. It has been one of God's gifts, and I am grateful.

I have been blessed to work in the area of Interfaith dialogue and service for over 15 years; first as a convert to Islam from Christianity, building bridges of understanding between Muslims and Christians, and more recently in a much broader context as Co-Founder of Women Transcending Boundaries. The women of WTB and many other sister organizations around the nation, like SARAH and WISDOM are some of the most talented compassionate and positively movtivated women I have ever had the priviledged to know and work with.

Interfaith dialogue compels us to search deep within ourselves; to a place where a higher consciouness exist. A spiritual place which gently nudges us to listen to one another without judgement and with compassion and care for all that we have in common.

Taking this knowledge and positive energy forth into the world is our challenge. Helping to build communities where our common concerns and respect for each other outweigh our differences. Societies where peaceful resolutions to problems are the norm not the exception.

Women Transcending Boundaries and other womens interfaith movements are taking the lead in building bridges of peace around the world. Building foundations that will serve all of humanity for years to come. It is truly exciting to be a part of this positive change in the world today. If you are attending the NAIN conference please attend the workshop on Women Transcending Boundaries. You will find it inspiring.

Thanks to Sande, Mushin and Gail for all the kind words about WTB. You all inspire us!

Meeting Women Transcending Boundaries (WTB) at Diana Eck’s conference at Radcliffe entitled “Women’s Interfaith Initiatives After 9/11” sponsored by the Harvard Pluralism Project in September 2007, was an inspiration for WISDOM (Women’s Interfaith Solutions for Dialogue and Outreach in Metro Detroit ). We bonded as soul sisters as both of our organizations felt the desire to bring women of different faith traditions together to make our individual communities places of increased understanding and respect. The energy and commitment of Betsy Wiggins and Danya Wellmon spurred us on at WISDOM to form our own non-profit and establish a board of directors to make an impact in the metropolitan Detroit area. We so admired WTB’s ability to stay focused and true to their mission, and we learned so much from their experience of making decisions based on long term strategy rather than short term gain. WISDOM gathered the strength to persevere by admiring what WTB had been able to accomplish in the six years that they had been in existence. In our now two short years of WISDOM, we continue to be inspired by the integrity and energy that flows from WTB. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to share with them, and to sign on to each other’s list-serves. We learn from each other every day!! We look forward to a future reunion with the Co-Founders of WTB.

Dear Sande:

As Co-Founder of SARAH (Spiritual and Religious Alliance for Hope, based in Organge County), and participant in Diana Eck's symposium: "Women's Interfaith Initiatives Post 9/11," sponsored by the Harvard Pluralism Project, your thoughts about the word of women resonant profoundly with those of us in WTB. SARAH and WTB are indeed, on an empowering journey, and it is terrifically affirming to know we are on this journey together.

Thank you too for your kind words about the model WTB has been developing over our years of development that you have found helpful as SARAH has blossomed so beautifully. I invite those interested to go to sarah4hope.org for more information about this amazing group and their myriad interfaith activities.

I look forward to seeing you in July!

Subject: Women of the Interfaith Initiative Heal the World
ID: 100117

As women of the world, we can attribute our biological and innate behavior to create, protect, heal and sustain life all for the sake of preserving our future generations. Women all over the world heard and felt the calling to be a part of the solution to the pain and fear in our world and Women Transcending Boundaries rose to the occasion. As women, we seek each other out, we gather in circle, we vent and we find solutions together. When Dayna and Betsy found one another they were responding to their God given responsibility to live at the highest value of both of their faiths. Then they empowered other women around them to do the same, in a safe environment and serve as a model for other organizations. Both men and women are empowered to bring a feminine responsibility back into balance in our world.

When you reach out in such a way, it is not difficult, often seamlessly simple, to attract heart centered people to share in your vision and goal of creating a more harmonious and safe community. Then you can impress those who need healing most. SARAH has matured considerably since first meeting Betsy and Danya at Harvard University's Pluralism Project's Women's Interfaith Initiative Post 9/11" conference last Sept. WTB inspired us to be more organized in our mission, create an Advisory Council, become a 501 (c) (3) and take measures to reach a more critical mass of our community to effect change. (South Orange County, Ca is one of the least diverse communities so we really have to "reach") WTB has enriched our experience as a women's interfaith group by serving as such a solid model of love, trust, empowerment and integrity. How can we women not save the world?

Dear Mashim,

Your congratulations are quite special knowing you share the journey with other women involved in interfaith work.

Thank you also for your warm invitation to all to visit the East Bay Meditation Center, a wonderful resource to those invested in social justice. I hope many accept your heartfelt invitation into conversation, especially those of color and LGBTQI communities. The East Bay Medition Center is indeed transcending boundaries bringing people together to examine social and justice-centered issues.

EBMC is a community-based organization we can all learn from. Betsy Wiggins, Co-Founder, Women Transcending Boundaries
