When Women Lead*
The Inner Voice of Women’s Leadership
Guided by Patricia Neal and Vonda Vaden
2009:
September 24-27, (Thurs. pm) - (Sun. midday)
The Invitation: We invite you to join a group of 12-16 women on a guided journey of reflection and discovery in one of our area’s most beautiful settings. This is an opportunity to pause, take intentional time out from your day-to-day patterns, to hear your inner voice and follow it.Every time we act, even with our fear, we make room for others to do the same. Courage is contagious. –Frances Moore Lappe
THE JOURNEY
Through the interaction of intention, place, and kindred travelers and guides, you will return renewed with new perspectives, prepared to voice into existence the next part of your journey.
Purpose:
- Connect with women who are living in the realm of the stretch beyond the stretch.Personal growth in the presence of others who have a shared commitment to accountability: to show up, have a dream, commit to it, and support ourselves and each other in our aspirations. What do you need from your sisters to fully articulate your vision/voice/vitality? Exploring unconditional love, alignment with source or Source, as a path to living as boldly as we all can. Practice matching your unique contribution to your inner and outer articulation of self.
- Consider where historical norms are thwarting women's current role in leadership
YOU SHOULD COME IF...
Your inner voice calls you forth for the next leap in life. You wish to journey into the wilderness of your heart with other women edge-walkers.
Act like you already
Manage a nation,
Summon your purpose
With your heart's conviction
And take your station.
You are being nudged
By earth-necessity
To resurrect humanity
And mold it
With your hands
Gentle and strong
Into a sculpture of sanity.
Come on....
Woman, all sisters
Remember your power
It is for a healed humanity
And Earth
That we deeply yearn.
Jane Evershed 11/ 10/ 07
As we prepare for the journey we ask these questions:
What are the unexamined assumptions present in our meetings, interactions, relationships, that women quietly allow that create a little, or a lot, of dis-ease?
What are the skills to speak when our voice is needed to create leadership that brings wholeness?
What is the world ready for?
How do we support and practice in the company of each other to help shift the possibilities?
What if we spoke with each word as intention, as prayer?
Where are we leading with/from our inner language?
How does that affect our outer languaging?
When a woman tells the truth she is creating the possibility for more truth around her. –Adrienne Rich
