Overview of the program
The Women, Wisdom, and What’s Next Growth Circle is an intimate experience for women who have had long and successful careers looking after organizations, teams, communities, or treasured missions. Women who are now wondering “What’s mine to do or be? Where and how can my experience and collected wisdom be put to best use in service of the ongoing transformation of my organization, my community, the world, and me?”
Sheila and Carolyn are asking these questions, too. Which is why last year, we chose to take our long experience of creating spaces where people come together in good company to see one another deeply and explore their edges, and offer it to a group of women leaders who were on a similar journey. This experiment was a nourishing experience for eight amazing women as we created space to see each other deeply in our individual and collective wholeness, to explore what might be next, and often to simply relax into just being. Nothing to perform, nothing to do. And yet magic happened.
Why this, why now?
Put simply….because the world needs wise women, and wise women need each other. You have an opportunity to shape the future…to be intentional about how to use your influence and power. In this sacred community of peers, we explore your growth edges, celebrate your gifts and stoke the fire of your intentions, aspirations, and passions. And let’s face it, the world needs your leadership!
This small group of 6-8 women leaders, facilitated by Carolyn and Sheila, will meet monthly for nine months to explore who you have been and who you will be next. We will slow down, be present, get embodied, invite emergence, share wisdom and reflect together. This is not a problem solving peer group. This is sacred space, crafted and defined by you, in service of you, and ultimately in service of the impact you want to have in the world. We will draw lightly on our toolkit of complexity, adult development and embodiment as they support our spacious intentions. If you have honed your leadership and are looking for a sacred space, please join us.
We welcome and encourage women leaders from a wide range of industries, geographies, and cultural, racial, socioeconomic and sexual orientations.
