Visioning a Better World

CommonWell Institute International envisions a world in which:

• our global brothers and sisters are safe, free from violence with full access to a secure future
• men and women join in circle together to create an environment that holds the values of respect, dignity and peace as guiding models for the development of our children
• women are fully empowered through self-determination over their bodies and their health, including access to provide for the well-being of themselves and their children
• the talents and creative strengths of ALL citizens can be manifested into economic viability and a sustainable future
• all citizens have equal access to education, the ability to contribute to any field of endeavor they choose, including math, science, information systems, technology, medicine and religious leadership
• the cultural stories, songs, dances and traditions are preserved, valued, honored and incorporated into the body of history and social structure to include all the uniqueness of diverse groups
• the leadership contributions of women are recognized and their gifts equally accessed, fully celebrating the scope and value of women’s unique styles across time and culture

. . . a world where peace is held as a beacon of hope for all citizens
and conflict is not seen as an alternative to dialogue
