What is empowerment?

 

It is using our time, energy, creativity, and devotion to stand up for what we believe and feel is just and right. It is energy in motion. It is walking the talk. And it is not afraid of obstacles.

​​

The ultimate empowerment is not female or male empowerment, it is human empowerment. It is drawing out, from our Best Self, from our Core Self, all the beautiful and brilliant qualities that exist there.

 

Female empowerment draws from our Best Self an inner knowing of what is right. It will not be dissuaded in its action by societal prejudice or ignorant beliefs.

​

 

Why might we fear our empowerment?

​

As woman we have lived in a world that was and is male dominated. We have lived in a world in which societal laws, customs and the majority of power rests with men. And, although there is a shifting toward balance, those women who have challenged male domination have very often paid a steep price.

​

 

What gifts do empowered women experience?

​

Many women feel that they are acting as channel for the Divine.

There comes into being a sisterhood of the committed and blossoming of deep friendships. And when the motivation for action is love, it is love that we come to know more deeply.
