1) The symbol for woman, a solar cross surmounted by a circle (symbol of planet Venus and sometimes referred to as the "Mirror of Venus") indicates fertility. In our logo, the the top portion of the symbol is a circle created by a woman's arms embracing the Flower of Life. 2) The Flower of Life is the most significant of all the symbols in Sacred Geometry and revered among many cultures around the world. It is said that the code actually contains all the wisdom found in the universe and the symbol can be found in many locations around the planet such as ancient temples in Egypt, Mount Sinai and other temples in China and Japan. The Flower of Life symbol, composed entirely of circles overlapping circles, was incorporated into our logo to symbolize the powerful feminine way of connecting with one another, passing on wisdom and holding the space for all humanity—for all life—to blossom. Each intersection of circles forms a powerful connection point reminding us that we are all part of the web of life and what affects one of us has a ripple effect on all of us. 3) Mother Earth is the 3rd symbol incorporated into our logo. The Flower of Life, embraced lovingly by the Mirror of Venus, is superimposed over a blue and green sphere symbolizing our Mother Earth. When women gather to weave the Flower of Life by connecting in circles around the planet, we shall collectively create the fertle environment needed to bring harmony, balance and peace to our beloved Mother through our loving embrace, our focused intention and our sacred connection. We have the vision, we have the wisdom, we have the intention, we have the love, we have the power! —Carol Hansen Grey For more information about the evolvement of the Gather the Women Global Movement visit the archival website at www.gtw-archive.org.
