Finding Forgiveness, Reconciliation and Peace: Exploring the Seven Pillars of Forgiveness | Sunday 4 April 2010 Sponsored by Feminenza North America and hosted by B’nai Jeshurun Synagogue (257 W. 88th Street, New York City) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mary Noble, Co-Founder and CEO of Feminenza International, trained and qualified in social anthropology and archaeology, conflict transformation, and a veteran director of academic studies, Mary has undertaken a long study of the development of women, building understanding between the genders, and the work of forgiveness and reconciliation. Feminenza, an international charitable organisation established in 2000, seeks to promote and sustain the long-term development of women, their understanding of themselves and their roles in leadership and society. Currently residing in England, Mary is an international speaker and seminar leader on behalf of Feminenza. In Jan 2006, she was invited to run a 4-day international conference, hosted by Feminenza and UNESCO PEER at the UN headquarters in Nairobi, titled 'Humanity & Gender'. This event served 250 delegates, men and women, representatives from business, NGOs and UN officers from the Great Lakes Region of Africa, to discuss some of the most fundamental issues where gender equity is concerned. These included themes such as early forced marriage, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), positive masculinity and combating HIV/AIDS through building awareness and value between the genders, giving respect to the stages of life and forgiveness and reconciliation between the genders. Transformative Leadership for Women: Since 2007 Mary has been developing a 3 year programme of Transformative Leadership for Women, which was piloted in Mombassa in 2008 with 60 women leaders, and will continue in 2010. Forgiveness and Reconciliation: In July 2007, Mary ran a 2 day seminar for over 100 delegates in Nairobi on "Finding Forgiveness, Reconciliation and Peace", hosted by Feminenza and UNILAC, a University for refugee students from Rwanda, Burundi and the DRC. Since then she has held workshops and seminars in New Zealand, Greece, Israel, the UK, Canada and the USA, focussing on "The Seven Pillars of Forgiveness", a Feminenza publication which she helped to author. In 2010 she is planning to run a pilot Programme for training grassroots women as Forgiveness and Reconciliation Counsellors in Kenya, funded by UNFEM, and undertake further work in Israel and the US on the theme of forgiveness and reconciliation, and the development of women as peacemakers.
