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.
