the Wohlrab-Merbitz integrity fund

a women’s legacy

Authorised by the foremothers

The new fund is named after my two beloved grandmothers, Friedegard Wohlrab and Liselotte Merbitz. In choosing their birth names I am honouring their strength, their care and their wisdom that I have the privilege to call my heritage being the grand daughter of these remarkable souls.

My biography holds a lot of ambivalences within the two ancestors lines that meet in me. With that heritage the search for a truth that is inclusive and goes beyond the limiting logic of black and white, right or wrong, was inevitable. Thrown into the turmoil of World War II in Germany both of my grandmothers were – in very different ways – exposed to threat, betrayal and heartbreaking losses that were caused by the patriarchal and exploitative way of relating to life practiced around them.

As women and mothers they maintained their warmth and their natural sense of care, to say their advocacy for life. Two generations later the impossible becomes possible. My time is the time when the divine feminine returns. It is the time when all suppression and the violation of life ends. It is the time where there is space for the question who we want to be as humanity. It is the time of the return of grace and beauty. It is the time when humanity starts to transition into a new culture of repair.

patronage

thriving in integrity

Humanity is a trustworthy species. As soul integrity is a birth right every human being is by nature part of A Trustable Tribe. To unleash the power of that truth one has only to say yes to it.

A Trustable Tribe is also the name of our community. While there is no financial obligation or fee to become a member (everyone is welcome to join always at any time) we created a membership model for the ones who wish to engage more actively and would like their gift to be an expression of their sense of belonging.

Integrity For Future is an explorational field on new social structures that allow for integrity to thrive (> here you can download a short profile of the initiative). The concept of patronage acknowledges the fact that gifts and possibilities differ from one being to another as they may also vary in our different contexts of life.

While being equal in our right to soul integrity we shouldn’t try to bring us into line in terms of our contributions. We might be the creative source with an idea, in other contexts we are the shelter , gifting our presence. And sometimes we are the ones who can give the material resource to make it happen.

In becoming a patron for the initiative you have the opportunity to experiment with your role. Your gift will provoke another gift in return.

the source protectors board

Inspired by the initiatives life affirming approach a group of men has decided to join the exploration of new ways of giving and receiving. Willing to face the devastation patriarchy brought to the different realms of life they walk a path of rehabilitation that goes beyond the simplifying logic of victims and perpetuators, acknowledging  the  complexity of the issue.

On the concept of a SOURCE PROTECTOR BOARD: over the course of one year 5 men sign responsible to assure the initiatives basic financial needs. By doing this they allow me as the source (see our findings on Source, Shelter and Space) to focus my energy on the core work of the initiative and to take care of the well being and the development of the original impulse how it was received by me.  While the members of the Board experiment with new structures of gifting which affirm the integrity of everyone being part of it the Board itself becomes a space for deep healing. If you would like to part of the mutual exploration and learning you can simply > REACH OUT to me.
