Today’s times call for a radical shift in how we live together as the human race. It offers the opportunity to reconsider and reshape the engrained notions of masculine and feminine in order balance these qualities, create peace, and reclaim our own inner balance and authenticity.

YinPowerment is not gender-specific. It is for women and men alike longing to transform competition to collaboration, individualism to community and domination to partnership.

YinPowerment is an essential life affirming energy force that holds all life in reverence. The time is here to recalibrate our beliefs in a way that honors and empowers the feminine in harmony with masculine energies.

From Hierarchy to Circle…

Enlivening YinPowerment is a proactive response to what we have experienced as the hierarchical model of structures and leadership. It is the structure found in most schools, organizations, corporations, businesses and in traditional families.

In a hierarchy there is a top, a middle and bottom:

• The top is the CEO, president, principle, director and in traditional families father. The top knows best and tells others what to do.
• There is a middle. This is the manager, supervisor, teacher chairperson and in traditional families mother. The middle conveys the decisions and messages from the top to the bottom. They make sure those on the bottom do what they are told.
• There is a bottom. They are the workers, members, students, and in traditional families children.

Circle Model is egalitarian, where everyone shares the power, the resources, the decision-making, the work, etc. It fosters and honors YinPowerment. This ensures full participation, personal growth and unlimited creativity. Circles provide the common ground for all to come together to find new solutions to problems, co-create new resources, events and programs, and close the gap between opposing sides.

As we access and honor the unlimited and circular power of Yin through embracing YinPowerment, regardless of our gender, we will profoundly change ourselves, and in turn change our families, our communities, and our world.
