The beginning of Bounce, Be Transformed.
Bounce started as an idea that transformed into a movement. Over a year ago, I invited twelve women to get together and talk about transformations, Bounce. The group's members started a conversation about our own transformations. We discovered that each woman heard from other women that they would like to be part of Bounce. We certainly hadn't expected to ignite grassroots enthusiasm with Bounce, but we did. We decided to set up a small event for 20-25 women who we thought of as like-minded and who would be willing to try something new.
We focused the event on women because we believe the world will benefit from more female influence. Women's intuitive way of finding creative solutions to problems can help make the world a safer and healthier place. Women's work as caregivers and nurturers could eliminate world hunger. Women's work as homemakers can restore the global environment. Women's work of teaching people to understand one another can lead to world peace. Women's work is also about having fun, seeking joy along with meaning.
Another facet of Bounce is that we all enjoy and appreciate men. We live in a very rich country with many privileges largely because of the work and values of men. Each of us has men, husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, friends and relatives, who we love and respect. We want to learn how to be with men in even more inspired and loving ways.
Our inaugural event was held in Seattle, on October 29, 2007. Eighty women attended, 76 of whom signed up for the next Bounce meeting. Bounce, Be Transformed is launched. The beauty of Bounce is its simplicity — anyone can bounce!
