For awakening women change agents who want to live authentically,
share their gifts with the world and lead from the wisdom of the heart
Discover the 8 Essential Doorways to your authentic power and embrace your feminine leadership to make the difference you know you’re here to make…
Are you waking up to your deeper desire to be and express your most authentic Self in your life?
Do you feel called to a greater wisdom and power within you, to harness the potential of the life you’ve been given and make a bigger difference?
Do you long to follow your passion, share your unique gifts and lead your life and work in a way that expresses who you are and re-embraces your essential feminine wisdom and values?
If the answer is yes, then you’re not alone.
Many of us are waking up to the seed of our creative potential but it can also be challenging bringing it to full blossom…
Whether you consider yourself to be one of life’s leaders or not, there’s something waking up in us as women, calling us to play our part in co-creating a new future. Can you feel it?
We appear to be at an extraordinary threshold of a new era in our collective journey as women – a process of evolution as we continue to transform the landscape of our lives and culture to one which is more nurturing, heart-inspired and affirming of who we really are.
Yet, alongside our desire to live our potential and make a bigger difference, we often struggle to let go of the old, often unconscious limiting patterns that have shaped our sense of who we are. So we continue to live out old stories that keep us stuck in a distorted perception of who we are, our value and what’s possible for our lives – especially as leaders and change agents for our future generations.
Do any of these challenges sound familiar?
-
You’re at a crossroads in your life and feeling held back by the fear of stepping out of your comfort zone and following your heartfelt vision
-
You’re in touch with a deep yearning to make a bigger difference but lack the clarity or confidence you need to step out authentically as a leader
-
You have a sense of deeper purpose for your life but you don’t feel on track with it or perhaps your not sure what it is or how to bring it to life
-
You feel hampered by your own conditioned beliefs and struggle to respond to life in generative ways that create new positive experiences for you
-
You want to step into leadership but you’re put off by the old, traditionally masculine models of leadership that don’t inspire you
-
You struggle to create time for yourself and feel off balance and depleted trying to juggle the many demands of your various life ‘roles’,
-
You often feel alone on your journey and yearn for more support, connection and collaboration from others who can meet you where you are, see your potential and support you on your journey of transformation
I totally understand.
I’ve experienced this too and know first hand how challenging this journey can be.
That’s why I’ve created this new programme for you…
Imagine following your passion, doing the work you love and making a real difference without compromising who you are or sabotaging your well-being?
This 4 month guided journey will provide a container for you to:
-
Awaken your feminine wisdom and the authentic power you hold to make a difference to your own life and in the world around you
-
Align with the higher purpose and vision for your life and access the courage to step into authentic leadership of your unique contribution
-
Meet daily challenges with openness and appreciation, turning them into opportunities to learn and flourish
-
Harness the deeper wisdom and power you hold to move beyond your fear based patterns and into new ways of relating
-
Trust and allow the ‘greater field of life’ to inspire, guide and support you to manifest your brightest future
-
Access a more authentically feminine way to lead your life and work that nourishes your soul and allows you to flourish as a feminine leader
-
Take more care of yourself and be part of a supportive, nurturing community of women with whom you can share your journey of transformation
Are you ready to trust your feminine wisdom and lead the life that’s calling you?
My invitation to you…
I’ve created a brand new, 4 month guided quest for women who feel called to join me and other dedicated women in a transformative Wisdom Circle.
If you’re ready to step into new possibilities for your leadership; making a meaningful difference with your gifts, embracing your authentic feminine strengths and fulfilling a more soulful purpose, then please join me for…
A Four Month Wisdom Circle & Coaching Programme
Starting 10th January 2013
The Wisdom Circle is the foundation of our work together and although it is a highly original framework today, it has magical, ancient roots originating from the timeless wisdom teachings of Mayan culture. I was privileged to train with some amazing teachers of this Earth Wisdom (RainbowHawk and WindEagle from the Ehama Institute) for over 10 years. I have also integrated much of my own experiential learning with other transformative practices and evolutionary teachings, as well as the learning gained through my work with hundreds of women leaders. The synthesis of this is The Wisdom Circle, a unique expression of these teachings as a contemporary design of ‘modern medicine for women’. The Wisdom Circle is also the name we give to our group. In other words, when you join The Wisdom Quest, you’ll become part of a powerful Wisdom Circle of like minded women, who will support, nurture and uplift you on your personal Quest.
Here’s what we’ll be awakening on our 10 module journey
The Wisdom Circle is a framework or map, representing the elements of our natural power structured in 8 directions (or ‘doorways’) around the circle which, in itself, represents wholeness. In each module we’ll be opening and moving through a new ‘doorway’ to our core power and learning evolutionary principles and transformative practices that will help you to awaken and cultivate these innate but untapped feminine leadership capacities. You’ll be applying your learning to where you most want to transform yourself as you step into your own unique quest to the heart of your feminine leadership.

Q. I’ve got a busy schedule, what is the pace of the programme?
The great thing about online programmes is that you have flexibility about your own time engagement and the depth you want to take it too. However, like any lasting transformation, awareness is the key, so the more you engage and create awareness of your own learning process the better the results for you. We’ve deliberately spread the modules over two week blocks to give more spaciousness to the programme and have structured the programme in a way that is easy to engage online. The first week of each module you’ll be able to listen in your own time to the course materials and use the worksheet to support you. During the second week you’ll have the opportunity to connect live with me and other participants. You can engage in our online forum space as much or as little as suits you.
