We aren't inviting you to tackle changing The World, a grandiose and uncertain task. We are inviting you to allow the change you want in your world, one encounter, one relationship at a time, simply by showing up, wholly as yourself and welcoming others to do exactly the same. Your only challenge is to show up; the rest will happen naturally.
We invite you to join us as we gather the women. Together we can transform our worlds, that is, everything we touch, personally and collectively. We have chosen our words carefully, to express the fullness of this community we are so passionate about:
"What, if not transformation, is your deepest purpose?"
-Rilke
Part of our invitation is to share what is best in all of us, to find in ourselves and offer to each other the gifts that together make us one very powerful whole indeed. More than that, we are really excited to this as a place where you can bring every bit of yourself, even the parts that you might have been trying to stuff all these years. We are likewise acknowledging and inviting in your wholeness, in that we hold important the whole you: mind, heart, body and spirit and will always consider that wholeness in all we offer. May you be wholly welcomed, wholly present and feeling wholly appreciated and nourished every time you are here and every time you move out of this space back into your everyday world.
While we are each individuals and all different, we as women together have a way of knowing and being that can see the world around us with compassion, love, and gritty resolve. We can shout out: This won't happen on my watch! with the ferocity of a mother lioness. We can do anything from our place in a circle, with no hierarchy, no alpha dogs, willing to step into the center and take our place and step forward and take action whenever it is called for. We grow and nurture ourselves and each other in all of our various ways of coming together as women, and from this coming together, we just naturally transform our worlds, that is, everything we touch, personally and collectively.
Unlimited describes the possibilities for our lives when we show up fully in all aspects of ourselves. And unlimited is clearly who we can become when we connect with each other here, across time zones and times of life, spanning ages and origins, joining in commit and concerns. Also unlimited are the possibilities for us right here, right now. We are creating this community as a response to the change we want to see in our own lives - and we are deliberately inviting you to be co-creators with us in every sphere in which we operate. What can we be together? What can we do together? We are offering the seeds and inviting you to play in our garden - we are all novices in some spots, are all master gardeners in others. We are humble in our offering knowing that what we can create together is beyond our wildest dreaming. What a fertile process!
