Heartbeat Message
Women of Spirit and Faith is a core group of diverse intergenerational leaders who convene gatherings and host conversations to invoke our own sacred knowing together. In the safe and sacred spaces we create, women are invited to explore the edges of their emerging spiritual leadership.
The Latest
The Women are Coming
In her new book Dear Joan Chittister: Conversations with Women in the Church, the wise Sister Joan tells about sitting in a gathering of people sharing their serious concerns about the challenges facing our country and our world. The general consensus was that things are bad and getting worse. She goes on to relate how one of the young men declared with hope: “You’re all forgetting something. The women are coming.
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.

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.
