Our purpose is to explore the feminine perspective, both individually and collectively;
to evoke and provoke discussion and reflection; to unleash the energy of connection and community.

Our promise is to provide a unique experience, not a conference nor a training, but
a conversation and exploration, a space where each of us will be seen and heard.

Our perspective is that our modern, high-stress, scattered lives don’t allow for the ordinary everyday connections that sustain us.  By maintaining and strengthening
these connections, we reclaim the vibrancy essential to our wellbeing.

Over the course of the weekend we will have multiple opportunities to identify and
talk about what matters to us and what keeps us from fully living the life we want.

We will take time to look at where we feel in balance and where we feel out of
balance, naming the ambiguities that most resonate for us, such as being both:

  • Bold and tentative
  • Grounded and wobbly
  • Controlling and Letting go
  • Needing solitude and intimacy
  • Indifferent and interested
  • Changing and constant
  • Accepting and questioning

 All sessions and activities have experiential aspects. The sharing of and learning
from our personal stories will be integral to the weekend experience. We will reflect
on and express ourselves through writing, meditation, art, movement, music, dance, metaphor or poetry. Sessions will vary from individual to dyad to small and whole
group activities.

Benefits

Through our time together we will:

  • Deepen our understanding of the complexities in our lives
  • Claim the possibilities that arise from women’s connections
  • Acknowledge the importance of the wisdom we bring to each
    other and our world
  • Gather energy and ideas for what we want to do with this
    knowledge

Participants

We consider any woman of any experience to be a wise woman. She, her wisdom
and her stories are welcome and wanted. Registration is limited to 20.

  • "It grounded me …reminded me what’s important in my life."

  • "The program got me to look at and think about things that I normally don’t
    spend much time on but I should."
  • "Lots of epiphanies!"
