“Semillas de Poder” – Seeds of Power comes from an old Mexican proverb that translates “They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.” This aptly describes the resilience and determination of the 60 women from around the world who attended IWC’s four-day Gathering in the Yungas region of Bolivia, November 12-15, 2015, on the invitation of Olga Flores Bedregal, a human rights activist and leader of a small UU community in La Paz.
The Gathering's theme was Women, the Earth, Climate Change, and Spirituality. The proceedings were delivered in two languages, Spanish and English, aided by two professional translators. Empowerment of women was a recurring theme, along with the determination to fight the devastation of climate change and the promise to stay connected in order to meet those challenges.
