Gathering with other women is empowering—whether you are a daughter, sister, mother, leader, change-maker, teacher, seeker, or healer. Women’s groups are safe harbors to share your hopes, fears, dreams and aspirations—where your authentic self is welcomed and witnessed by other women. You will find this book full of inspirational ideas for women groups of all ages and backgrounds. 
 
The book's 52 activities are arranged across four seasons or can be used any time. Each includes step-by-step guidelines, materials, and recommended books, media, poetry, and music for your group members to explore their strengths, discover new aspects of themselves, come to terms with the past, connect with their spirituality, and support one another. This collection of powerful practices and explorations is designed to enliven groups of women who meet in living rooms, spiritual or religious settings, retreats, community organizations, treatment centers, and anywhere women gather.
 
"If you have ever wanted to start a group or wish to deepen the activities of the group you already have, this book is a great tool to bring women together.” 
~Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness
 
"Full of wisdom, beauty, practical tips and concrete exercises, this book is a treasure-trove of inspiration for tapping into the divine feminine." 
~Kristin Neff, Author of Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power and Thrive
