The Alchemy of Reconciliation: Awakening to the Mystery of Love between Masculine and Feminine

How can we begin to remember the real secrets of love between feminine and masculine, in a world so lost in the story of discord and division?

We start by making a place for the truth. Not the false light of our collective ideologies, but the real, more personal, intimate truth, of our own heartbreak.  Women and men of all sexual orientations, coming together in the pursuit of truth and reconciliation, making a sacred space for one another, to lay down the burden of their sorrows, and walk—together—in a new way, rooted in dignity, reverence, and wonder.

Join us, April 9 – 12 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for a 4-day immersion into this experience we call Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI).  Our facilitation team will guide you through an interactive and highly experiential process that includes personal reflection, small group interaction, silent meditation, yoga, breathwork, experiential honoring, and council process to explore and transform sensitive issues relating to gender and sexuality. The consistent result is a deeply nourishing and liberating experience for all participants.

Presented By:

Can you imagine being part of a group of women and men who actually tell the deep truth of their life experiences, together?

Can you imagine a group of queer and straight people who share the truth of their personal lives, to heal and transcend their differences?

Imagine being in a group of people who don’t shy away from what has been difficult, but embrace the pain of dysfunctional gender norms and relations—and move beyond these ancient wounds to actually begin re-inventing our human future together—replacing our disastrous gender legacy with a new civilization of beloved community.

Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI) convenes groups of women and men, and people of all gender identities and expressions, to work closely together—not only to heal from the past, but also to begin re-writing the future of gender relations in the human family.

This is the essence of what GERI is all about.

The Somatic Wisdom Institute offers a way home—back to yourself, your body, and the deep knowing that lives within you.

In a world shaped by trauma and systems of oppression, we can find ourselves stuck in cycles of stress, striving, and disconnection. We keep hustling, sensing something is missing, yet unsure how to return to what feels true.

Somatic practices invite a different path. Through movement, breath, and earth-based traditions, we help you release what’s been held, soften what’s been guarded, and reconnect with an aliveness that’s always been yours.

We created the Somatic Wisdom Institute for those who are ready to walk a different path. A path not paved with logic and productivity, but with breath, ritual, sensation, and the wild, undeniable intelligence of your body. For those who are done bypassing. Who are done performing. Who are ready to feel deeply, to reclaim your innate wisdom, and to remember that you belong.

Unity Spiritual Community of Grand Rapids is a sanctuary for those seeking spiritual growth and personal transformation. Our teachings, rooted in universal spiritual principles, offer a positive and practical approach to life. We celebrate our unity with the Divine and the inherent goodness in all people and all of life.

Our wisdom, echoing teachings that have shaped humanity for thousands of years, is based on spiritual laws that govern our existence, irrespective of cultural or religious backgrounds.

We invite you to join us for our Sunday services, spiritual workshops, book studies, and meditation classes. Our community is a place for you to start or continue your personal faith journey, surrounded by supportive peers.

After our Sunday service, we welcome you to join us for fellowship. Enjoy a warm cup of coffee and light lunch while you build personal connections with other spiritual seekers. We also offer spiritual retreats, faith-based discussions, and spiritual coaching to guide you on your path.
