As a woman of spirit and faith, you know something important about this moment in human history. You know it from your rich experiences in the world, and you know it from a place of deep wisdom within. Your unique pattern of knowing is part of a a larger pattern of feminine wisdom being called forth at this time in service of Earth and humanity.
We invite you to join us on this journey as we explore the creative connections between women, spirituality, and transformative leadership. We invite you to come with curiosity into this living community of spiritual women, listening deeply as they share their personal stories of how their spiritual journey have shaped and honed them as leaders, stories about breakdowns that were actually breakthroughs, stories of relationships with other women that were both affirming and challenging, and stories about local and global challenges that were faced with integrity and collaboration, condo and compassion. We do not offer answers to all of the complex questions facing us as a human family, but we invite you to join us as we surrender to the mystery of being open, present, and engaged together in these uncertain times.
