 It is a remarkable time to be a woman on this planet.
I have been blessed to spend the past decade of my life working with remarkable women from all parts of the world, listening to their stories and learning about the evolving forms of feminine leadership (often from the inside out). I have seen the resilience and creativity of a grassroots woman in action, and I have been inspired by her profound commitment to do whatever it takes to make life better for her family and community. John Shea in Stories of God writes, “When order crumbles, mystery rises.” I see this pattern of emerging feminine wisdom deeply nurtured and brilliantly guided by a spiritual force. Women who call upon the Divine using many different names and who represent many diverse spiritual traditions are gathering united by their vision of a better world. My passion is to help build the web of connections among women both personally and globally, among the diverse organizations where women gather and across the many barriers which challenge both our unity and our effectiveness. I bring the ability to weave together complex information, challenging dialogues, ethnic perspectives, spiritual beliefs and cultural attitudes into a focused vision for transformational action. Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you will find something here that affirms your personal vision and encourages you as you take the next step into your own authentic leadership. Be sure to visit my blog for a calendar of current events and news of evolving projects. Let me know if you feel called to connect. In gratitude, |

As the old paradigms based upon domination, greed and power come tumbling down all around us, the gentle wisdom of the feminine is rising. Feminine principles, which have been so long devalued, are now being acknowledged as crucial to building a sustainable global community and healing the planet: compassion, intuition, inclusion, interdependence, mutuality and collaboration. The local grassroots activism of women in all parts of the world is teaching us how to build sustainable economic models. Women are stepping up to redefine leadership everywhere from Kenya to Kansas, even as they face daunting challenges.
