Working from the Heart: The Feminine Face of Activism

ffa-header

Join women from around the world for this life-changing 5-day gathering. We will come together as women who share a deep sense of “calling” to help generate the kind of world you want to leave for your children and grandchildren. The focus will be on our stories, wisdom, talents and longing to connect globally to manifest the healing needed on our planet. Stretch into your future as a global citizen, and allow this more intimate experience to open your heart and expand your capacities as a committed leader around your unique passions and deep desires to make a difference. BALI and her deep mysteries will serve as the most significant component of our learning together. This culture has much to provide about learning to heal, forgive and live harmoniously with one another and our planet. Balinese rituals and arts all play a role in this gathering unlike anything you have experienced. You’ll encounter the unusual way Balinese ceremony and performance converge with deepening dialogue and actionoriented program sessions.

Here is what our program offers:

  • Discover new forms of feminine leadership that arise from your inner longing to contribute in the world
  • Acquire skills and confidence of authentic leadership
  • Tap into and enhance your unique talents with coaching and hands-on experiences
  • Engage in rich, cross-cultural dialogues that provide new clarity and vision for your own inspired activism
  • Explore story-telling that transforms how you experience your past and what might show up for your future
  • Expand your global network of women
  • Experience ways of integrating the sacredness of everyday into your work.

This one-of-a-kind program will provide leadership training, community-building skills, personal visioning and coaching, all while being immersed in an indigenous culture that enhances deeper understanding of yourself and the larger global community. Everyone will have an opportunity to visit NGO (non-governmental) programs, village schools or other sites to experience and reflect on the needs of Balinese as a learning opportunity for your own emerging offerings to the world. There will also be plenty of time for personal rejuvenation including healthy foods, healing massages, yoga and optional cooking classes.

Who Should Attend?

The program is designed for women of all ages who are:

  • in leadership roles and long to connect with other women to share common experiences and learn new leadership skills
  • wanting to move into leadership roles and become more active around their passion to make a difference in their community

We have designed this program specifically for women who are ready to explore more deeply their core values and to enhance their ability to make a difference in the world.
