Women Rising: The Live Event

Imagine an Event where…

…women are gathering to inspire each other to step fully into their greatness.

A place where all the facades are dropped, and instead the real, raw truth is shared.

Imagine a safe place created just for you.

A place where you can dive deep into all of the fears that have been holding you captive.

A sacred place that allows you to hold space and support for each other as you dive deep into a life-changing transformation.

It is time for women’s voices to be heard

…for women to speak-up and share their truth and wisdom through the power of their stories.

This is why we are coming together to share Women Rising — the transformational live Event that gives women a stage to be real, raw and vulnerable as they share their stories so that TOGETHER we can lead with courage and

Rise Up!

Who is Women Rising for? 

The women who are ready to shift the tides, to be the voice of truth, to speak up, to lead, to be vulnerable, to shine…

The women who know they have a story to share and that the lessons they have learned along the way are lessons that could change someone's life.

The women who are ready to speak up for what they believe, to play big because the world has enough women who are settling, playing small afraid to rock the boat, to speak up, to shine.

The women who are feeling the call to do big work in the world and know they have the power to turn their message into a movement.

The tides are shifting in the world, there is a call for women to rise up and show the world what is engraved on their heart, what their soul has been nagging them to share for years and finally, finally it is time…

This event is the coming together of women’s voices sharing their stories of heartache, loss, struggle and the beautiful lessons they learned while going through these difficult moments in their life.

Their stories may echo yours. You will feel their pain and embrace their heart while together learning the lessons that were taught in their own path of discovery.

In your life there are times when it feels like your whole world has been turned upside down. When you hit a wall and feel like everything has fallen apart and then something changes within you… everything shifts. This is your breakdown moment, the moment where you realize that something has to change and that you have the power within you to make it happen.

Every breakdown has the potential to lead into a breakthrough, if you are open to digging deep and looking within for guidance and truth.

 

This is the moment when everything changes and you begin to make the climb upwards. You find a renewed sense of hope and little by little you learn along the way the lessons these struggles have taught you.

You see how it has made you stronger.

You have become more aware of the power you have to choose.

You see that every day is a new day, a new opportunity to be seized.

You discover the beauty that is around you.

These women have overcome the odds.

They have fought a great fight, have lost and loved, have come to the moment that could break them and chosen to walk a new path and light their own way while leading the way for others.

You will find every story unique, powerful and full of lessons that have the power to change your life.

This is an event that will renew your faith in the ability to truly live when all feels lost.

The Dalai Lama once said so eloquently,

“The world will be saved by the western woman.”

It is time to rise up.

If you are feeling the pull to be here, to join us — heed the call, because you have a story you are meant to share and together, as we dive into our stores, speak-up, create a safe and sacred space to be heard and seen together, we will overcome the fears that hold us back and find the courage to rise together.

I hope you will join us in speaking your truth, sharing your story and changing the world together, one voice at a time.

Join Us and Rise!

Proceeds of the Women Rising event are going to The Women’s Collective in Nicaragua.

Together, we are helping to raise $100,000 to build 10 homes for these women and their children.

This is in the same village in Nicaragua that 3 years ago I was able to help build a school for during The Courage to Fly Project and so excited to continue to give to this community and support women in having a home and means to provide for their family and make a difference in their community.
