I decided to start this group because I believe that a group of mature, open-hearted, loving, caring, deep and spiritual women can do miracles in life if we got together on a regular basis to talk about life and what matters underneath the surface.
The Purpose of This Group - Women Empowering Women
How often do we ask: Who Am I? Underneath my title as mother, wife, daughter, student, employee, entrepreneur, etc. Who Am I? Underneath the goals. responsibilities, and day-to-day activities of life: Who Am I? When I slow down, breathe and try to determine where I am going in life (which we never do, right?), WHO AM I?
We are often flying so fast through life that we have little time to slow down, breathe, empty the mind and listen to the heart and belly, and listen to self as a unique and creative spirit moving through life.
The space of The Empowered Feminine is meant to let us slow down and take time to simply be a woman among women. This space is designed to be a safe, welcoming, nurturing retreat from regular life for a couple of hours a week, to rest and interact about what matters to us most as women. This space is meant to be open, encouraging and empowering, to build each other up and support each other in our challenges and goals.
Women need safe connections with other women in life. We often get so busy that we don't take time to meet people and develop true connections. Many women long for deeper and more empathic connections with others, but we don't know where to find it. Here is where you find it. I long to give this encouragement to women and believe it is deeply needed in our community.
Why should I join?
You should join this group if you want a real, authentic, nurturing space to develop true connections with other women. All I ask is you bring your heart and a caring attitude - this kind of environment promotes healing energy in a world that is deeply hurting.
So many beautiful and wonderful women are isolated and in pain, and need to know that others care. We need to be there with others so we can witness each other's pain, lend wise counsel, and build each other up and heal. This space is safe, giving, encouraging and nurturing. If this is the kind of person you are and you feel you just need to be listened to in an empowered fashion, if you know your gifts need an outlet if you could just speak them powerfully, this is the space for you.
Inquiry into Life
We can focus on any issues that we have about being a woman in this day and age. Topics include but are not limited to:
- How have we changed from our mother's and grandmother's generations?
- What challenges have we have in life and what challenges are we currently facing?
- What inspires us and what do we have passion for in life?
- What are the obstacles in our career direction and what about it satisfies us?
- What would we love to do with life that we haven't done already?
- Do we have a business we would love to develop but don't know how?
- How have our relationships with men changed through the years?
- How do we balance being an individual with having a relationship?
- How have we overcome trauma, heartache, and impossible situations in life?
- What is our relationship to our bodies, to food, to exercise, to work and to our futures?
- How can we live our lives fully and be inspired and passionate?
By talking with other women about these subjects below the surface, we start to be in touch with vitality and the essence of life. When we have celebrations in life or overcome obstacles we need to share with safe women so we can have others witness the ups and downs in life.
Others also need to hear our stories so they can learn the wisdom that is gained by living. We need each other to keep us on track and true to our own inner wisdom and self-respect. These nuggets of insight and knowledge are held as sacred when shared between women who know and trust each other.
This is the vision of The Empowered Feminine.
We all encounter real life issues that are often so intimidating and confusing, we push them aside and simply power our way through life. We often suffer in silence and doubt ourselves. Life's issues sit underneath the surface and nag at us in the form of anxiety, depression and a host of body maladies that we worry about; instead of being free, energetic, creative and fulfilling on our life's purpose.
The Empowered Feminine is part support and counseling, part encouragement space, and part learning environment for women who enjoy personal growth and who want to be they can be and learn to effectively bring out the best in others. This is not a therapy group, but you will definitely feel uplifted and ready to take on the world!
Life is too short to not be truly living!
