Women of Spirit and Faith offers a space for women to stand in a deeper truth of who they are and lift their voices in a community that needs their medicine and values their leadership. The importance of our gatherings is to listen for guidance, to resource ourselves, ground our intentions and nourish our ‘spiritual resilience’ at a moment of deep uncertainty and division in the world. Our circle brings forth a new awareness, a new frequency, a way of Being that models the way forward. Our gatherings, whether large or small, are a way of holding space and holding one another, in love, in a belief, that our gifts are needed now, and it is time to step up, knowing we are worthy of our assignments.

Women of Spirit & Faith has been a portal of deep belonging. A connection to the other worlds of the Feminine- in all her many layers. Through witnessing, listening, mentoring and LOVE, WSF has made a place in space and time- a container- for the sacred threads of women to be woven together in a most exquisite tapestry of connection and Sisterhood.
Amy Jones – 40-ish
In my eyes, Women of Spirit and faith is a beautifully curated container, where time seems to stand still as magic weaves. It’s been the recharging station to fuel me back up for facing the world again with an absolute knowing that I have a coven of women and feminine support behind me. I always feel held and safe at our gatherings and free to explore myself and concepts that without this space, might’ve taken a lot more time before I started to really delve into them. I absolutely love the balance of elders, bridge leaders, and young ones — the brilliance and wisdom of each generation being spiraled together and being able to learn from one another. It’s the medicine of fully being seen and feeling safe to step into that light.
Noelle Schendzielos – 20ish
The unique medicine I have received at Women of Spirit & Faith has been a remembering — a return to belonging, wholeness, and the sacred Feminine in all her layers. WSF is a living circle where time slows and the veil between the seen and unseen grows thin; a sanctuary where women of spirit gather to listen for guidance, speak truth, and weave together wisdom that heals the world. I began here as a young leader, and now serve as a bridge leader, continually inspired by the luminous thread connecting elders, peers, and emerging voices. With deep gratitude, I give thanks that WSF exists — for it has shaped me, held me, and called me ever more fully into the human I was born to be.
Erin Erickson -45ish
As an elder, I have the good fortune to be part of the multi-generational circle that is Women of Spirit and Faith. Here is a place I can contribute any wisdom and skillful action that 52 years of spiritual practice has evolved and feel the open hearted, open minded reception from the women in the circle. Also, I get to learn from and grow in deep relationship to women whose life experiences have been shaped by different cultural and spiritual experiences than mine. What occurs at our gatherings, whether in person or on zoom, is a juicy cross-fertilization which has enriched my life immeasurably and, I believe, all of our lives in this circle.
