Timestamps Women Matters #3  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFGWfbpbYrg)

0:00 Introduction of the show and the 3

1:35 Barbara Marx Hubbart: “from procreation to co-creation”

4:40 Tammy: She always knew she wouldn’t have kids, although she considers having kids the most important job, but she knew she needed her energy to be devoted to the global transition. Investing in our collective future

6:54 Monika had children, always wanted them. You are busy to maintain the relationships with each person in the family in the same intense way - limits the number of children. Personal development of Monika accompanied the development of her children, in terms in her jobs as a teacher: from primary school to university.

9:20 The need of setting boundaries - for oneself and in education. Difference between men and women in the ability of going for their own career. A collective experience

11:38 Gertraud combines both: wanted to have children, and she worked right from the beginning when she became mother. The journey for having a better relationship and as a mother. Deep transition in herself by having children. Commitment: “Be the best parents we could be” - in constant personal development and constant contact with the children during their growing up.

18:17 feminine qualities are not only in women, also men can develop them more

20:10 Elli Drake: Men go on adrenalin, women on oxytocin = bonding and nourishing = the qualities of the feminine part. Our projects are kind of our babies. And we need to be able to receive support.

22:40 Tammy: move from competition to receiving and use our body sense to understand what to do. See the interconnection of the things, Barbara Marx Hubbart: the future as a co-creative development process: what can that look like? - we are doing it!

24:30 Tammy talks about North America, racism etc. Need to show up in a different way! We are co-creating the future, whether it is intentional or completely unconsciously.

27:10 Heidi: Set clear boundaries is a necessity: distinction between caring and overgiving and depleting oneself: Women were and somewhere still are supposed to sacrifice their life for the family

29:15 Monika:  expectation for women to be in the world - a tradition until the 1960ies. Realise now that boundaries are essential for life. The question is WHICH Boundaries and how we are setting them up- especially in education. The 4 CORNERS of the boundaries: confidence, love, consideration - within these the children should be free to grow up. Strict, strong and save boundarties

32:00 How did we manage the boundaries? Monika replies regarding education, Heidi asks for boundaries towards what we as women should be. Monika: Trust your feeelings and thoughts. Don’t make compromises, only if both can live well with it.

35:25 Tammy: Investing in people and movements. New economy and new ways of working, systems change. Value time so when investing it to be able to do it in ways to serve all. The question of the financial support for the work we are doing. Balance between giving and receiving? Transition from the dominant paradigm to the sharing and gifting way.

40:30 Working for free - the old story of women?

41:00 Gertraud: Normal way of compensation doesn’t work any more (injustice etc). Unconditional basic income? TAlking to Monika: Being honest to my values and I don’t compromise and stepping over that (instead of talking about boundaries in the sense of fences)

42:45 “The world of abundance I want to have - includes ME!” - the new feminine way is, NOT to exclude ourselves.

43:46 Tammy gives an example of small steps of self care

44:36 Love goes first towards inside. Only giving out depletes. Appreciation is the basis.

45:45 Heidi: Giving and what happens in the name of love is not really giving, but attached expectations

47:24 Tammy asks for sharing what we are CO-CREATING in our personal life

48:05 Heidi:  bringing perspectives together and open our minds: help women to become visible and to step up

49:27 Monika: collaboration in writing on education with Montessori principles. Living education for children to learn how to master their lives

51:56 Gertraud: for a long time she is in collaboration and co-creation. Business out of the appreciative inquiry. A book is being co-created just now. Unity in DIversity was a project of co-creation. RIng-coaching as a platform.

56:40 Tammy: appreciates our group: How do we bring this forth and build together the future. Document processes and document what is already happening. Finding the tools. Conversation to come to new insights of how to co-create the future together.
