The Feminine Woman and the Roles of Mothers (WFWP Italy)

Written by: Giannina Figus

On October 7 and 21, in Bergamo at the Centro Culturale La Porta, was an event hosted by WFWP Bergamo, as the result of a friendly relationship with the president of the Alchemilla Association, an association that deals with health from a holistic point of view. On several occasions, Alchemilla has given WFWP the opportunity to use their gymnasium where we have organized a number of meetings presenting “women of value in the past and present.” These two events drew in 110 participants from Italy.

The speaker, Dr. Onorina Gibi, emphasized the virtues of the feminine: courage, acceptance, patience, calmness, gentleness and maternal love that is innate in women. She then emphasized relationships of the heart in order to obtain vital energy, the need not to imitate the masculine but to be able to accept and maintain the differences between masculine and feminine. The role of the mother in the growing young woman is essential because she can teach her daughter the responsibility of doing something for others. In this way, she prepares the young woman for life.

The rapporteur asked to think about the time when we felt like “women” because it is an exciting time in life but those who have been lacking in the developmental phase find it difficult to build as adults what they lacked. By treating our daughters as if they were princesses, we only make trouble for them in the future. This presented the idea that the immaturity of daughters is the fault of their mothers. The girl has to let adolescence die in order to be born as an adult woman.

In order to have a balanced relationship with the partner, Dr. Gibi presented the five intimacies: emotional, rational, spiritual, bodily and sexual intimacy (for the couple). By conquering these five points, one is ready to sacrifice oneself for a child. Before motherhood, the woman must be able to take on the task of caring for a soul so that it can become luminous. Motherhood is not only biological but also mental and heartfelt. As parents, we make mistakes but can also develop our love further at any age because we are never done improving our capacity for love.
