Tuition: Sliding Scale between $150 - $2350
The direct costs for this residential training are $1275 per person. Our intention is to attract a diverse circle of women, with no barriers related to a woman's ability to pay. With each woman contributing what she can within this sliding scale, we hope that the full costs for a total group of 24 will be covered.

Program Description:
Cultivating Women's Leadership is an experiential training for women interested in developing inner resources and practical skills to fuel significant progressive change in the world. Designed for women working toward a more just, healthy and ecologically sane world, Cultivating Women's Leadership brings together women of diverse cultures, ages and backgrounds--activists, educators, philanthropists, nonprofit professionals and others to learn from and with each other.

Emphasizing the unique qualities and opportunities that women bring to leadership, this training will help you learn practical skills to:

Develop a stronger connection to your own purpose, the source of authentic leadership

Explore the nature of shared leadership and practice reclaiming your own inner authority

Hone your relational intelligence, helping you navigate differences to enhance collaborations

Cultivate a practice of inner reflection to better align your intentions and behavior

Investigate challenges with competition, power, self-limiting stories and internalized oppression

Effectively balance your personal self-care with your larger work

Join us to learn how to consciously evaluate and cultivate your own leadership capacities and connect with a circle of women in mutual honesty, support and compassionate challenge. Explore how to most effectively transform yourself and the world.
