The Power in the Paradox of it All
In the past five weeks, my father died and my son got married. I had the blessing to sit by Papa's side with my mom and sisters for 10 days as he made his transition at the age of 91. As he was laid to rest, I was awake to both my deep grief at losing him and profound gratitude that I felt complete with my dad, that I was able to tell and show both my parents how much I love them and how deeply I appreciate who they are. I knew my dad loved me beyond words. Each passing day I become more aware of how his love continues to be actively present in my life, how his spirit is still guiding and protecting the people he loves. I am more aware than ever of the spiritual power available in the liminal spaces, the spaces between.
Reflections after Holy Week
Hello to the wonderful women in our WSF community: The past few weeks have been a reminder that there are no quick and simple solutions to the problems that we face on this planet. The release of the redacted Mueller report brought into focus once again how deeply divided our country remains — and reminds us that it is up to us to do the hard political work of mending our broken democracy.
WSF circles activate and ignite our gifts and bring our dance to the fire.
Our Work
Gathering
When women gather in a safe space, we experience a synergy that magnifies our personal wisdom and activates our collective leadership.
Stillness
Stillness quiets our minds and centers our hearts. It is the capacity to be present, in the moment – to be quiet, to be still, to listen.
Authentic Conversation
Women can take the lead to create safe spaces where people can listen deeply and with curiosity to the person on the 'other side'. It's simple - and challenging -- and there may not be anything more important on the planet right now.
Spiritual Grounding
The Divine Feminine is at the very heart of Women of Spirit and Faith and the absence of Her is at the heart of the unbalanced, wobbly world in which we find ourselves living.
So we invite all women — and men – to enter the circle, extend their senses to include the other, risk a deeper truth and commit to bring forward a new paradigm of leadership with us.
Circle Practice
When women gather in a circle with a sacred center, a space is created which calls forth collective wisdom and inspires personal passion. The world needs both right now. As women of spirit and faith bringing our skills and leadership in so many different ways, we all need the nurturing, validation and synergy that a circle provides for its women.
