Multicultural Focus

The Woman Within weekend is a place for women. Women from all cultures. Women of all ages. Women from all spiritual and religious backgrounds. The Woman Within weekend is a place where all women come together to listen to one another.

Sometimes we hesitate to listen for differences because we don't want to change. We're comfortable with our lives, and if we listened to anyone who raised questions, we'd have to get engaged in changing things... most of us see things in our life or in the world that we would like to be different. If that's true, we have to listen more, not less. And we have to be willing to move into the very uncomfortable place of uncertainty."
[Margaret Wheatley, Turning to one another]

I want to listen to your story.
I want to hear things that scare me, confuse me, push me to the edge.
I want to know your feelings...to know your pain, your fear, your doubts,
your joy, your hopes, your dreams.
I want to hear the things that make us different
And the thread that binds us together.
I want to know that you are willing to stand on the edge with me.
And jump.
