Spring is the season for new beginnings. The WFWPI Office for UN Relations in New York is excited to announce the launch of our 2022 Annual Fundraising Campaign: Peace, Women & Environment: Action Toward New Beginnings to support our work in UN advocacy, women leadership and climate action projects.
Women and the environment have often been closely linked, based on similarities in their nature to nurture. To explore that link, we’ve invited women from various fields to speak and created workshops led by women for our 3-Day Virtual session titled “Spring Awakening” in March 2022.
This session will explore the topics of peace, well-being and the environment. With this event, we wish to cultivate a sense of community and collective action, in awakening new mindfulness towards healing the Earth and empowering women.
Want to participate but can't make all the sessions? No problem! All registered participants will receive recordings of every session.
All donations go to the Women's Federation for World Peace, International, a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit.
Day 1: Food for the Soul
Permaculture is a system of guiding principles and ethics for sustainable food production and land management. The goal is to create beneficial, symbiotic relationships among system components such as energy, animals, buildings and plants. This session will explore the permaculture practice as the linchpin to food security and healing of the planet.
Our speakers will explore what can we do to restore human-land connection and create abundance through restoring living systems.
The food we eat is a choice that we make every day. Being mindful of what we choose to feed our body is a practice that can help one become more present, grateful and grounded. What better way to reconnect to the Earth, than cooking a meal that tastes like home, using earth-based ingredients from the soil?
Join this mother & daughter duo for a cooking class! They will be cooking a homemade dish and you are encouraged to follow along.
Day 2: Bridging Divides
Dr. Anna Grichting Solder, is a Swiss architect, urbanist and musician. Dr. Grichting has graduated with a Doctor of Design in Urbanism from Harvard University and has a passion for designing with, and not against nature. In this special talk, Dr. Grichting will be speaking on how co-creating ecological landscapes for peace, justice and reconciliation at the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) can foster healing and bridge divides.
