Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.
— Coretta Scott King

WE gather together, as multi-generational, multi-cultural expressions of the EMPOWERED SACRED FEMININE, to harness the power of Grandmother Moon in her fullness, in SUPPORT of the realization of Reproductive Justice for all women NOW and for the generations to come…

WE recognize the POWER of prayer as COMMANDING...DECLARING...INVOKING...As Protectors, Defenders, and Nurturers, WE lift our voices to co CREATE a symphony of JUSTICE, PEACE, EQUALITY, and COMPASSION for ALL SENTIENT LIFE.: Anything less is unacceptable and will not be tolerated!

WE ARE CALLING FOR A CEASE AND DESIST of the war on women’s bodies, including the body of our Mother Earth!

The harm, violence, and greed ENDS NOW!

WE invite you into this SACRED space, in the SPIRIT of co CREATING a siSTARhood of SOLIDARITY.

WE choose to SUPPORT coalitions who are working towards our shared values of JUSTICE-seeking and commUNITY EMPOWERMENT. In acknowledging the intentional harm done to our Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Queer Relatives throughout the generations, WE ask that LOVE donations be sent to Sister Song

"SisterSong is a Southern based, national membership organization; our purpose is to build an effective network of individuals and organizations to improve institutional policies and systems that impact the reproductive lives of marginalized communities.”

SisterSong defines Reproductive Justice as:

  • A human right. RJ is based on the United Nations’ internationally-accepted Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a comprehensive body of law that details the rights of individuals and the responsibilities of government to protect those rights.

  • About access, not choice. Mainstream movements have focused on keeping abortion legal as an individual choice. That is necessary, but not enough. Even when abortion is legal, many women of color cannot afford it, or cannot travel hundreds of miles to the nearest clinic. There is no choice where there is no access.

  • Not just about abortion. Abortion access is critical, and women of color and other marginalized women also often have difficulty accessing: contraception, comprehensive sex education, STI prevention and care, alternative birth options, adequate prenatal and pregnancy care, domestic violence assistance, adequate wages to support our families, safe homes, and so much more.

SHINE gatherings EMBODY the interSPIRITual path in which WE recognize that ALL WISDOM traditions weave TOGETHER as a BEAUTIFUL tapestry of the TRUTH of the ONE SPIRIT that lives within ALL CREATION. The gathering will consist of practices such as prayer/meditation, music, movement, creative expression, and heart-centered sharing.

Come as you are. ALL OF YOU IS WELCOME HERE
