Ladies of The Southeastern Time for Our Power Conference
Just imagine ... three amazing women coming together with big hearts, tremendous passion, and sweat equity beyond measure to design, coordinate and host the first ever women's gathering of its kind in the Southeast. These three women blow my mind! and this is an exceptional event I am proud to be a part of and to spotlight.

Regarding the Southeastern Time for Our Power Conference being held in Asheville, NC June 20th - 22nd:
We Believe ... that there is a real hunger among women everywhere to finally give themselves permission to be the fully powerful and amazing beings that they are, and that Time for Our Power! is part of a larger transformation that is happening in this country and around the world. Women all over are waking up to their power!
We believe that there is no force more powerful than a woman who believes in herself, follows her passion and brings her unique gifts to the world. In doing so not only does she benefit, but so do all those around her - her family, friends, community, and ultimately the world.
We also believe that humankind's existence on this planet has never been in such jeopardy. The perils are clear: environmental degradation, global warming, war, nuclear proliferation, widespread human rights abuses. Women are uniquely positioned to spark a much needed revolution in human consciousness. The world is in critical need of feminine energy and perspective, and it has never been more important for us to claim and own our power to bring about change.
Its time!
Highlights of the ConferenceJust a few of the speakers are:

In a time of great global change, humanity is still relying on the
old myth of survival and domination. We need a new myth, a new vision,
a new definition of power and leadership. We must go away from the old
model and toward one of creative cooperation on our small and
threatened planet. The world needs women to imagine, define, and lead
us toward a sane and sustainable culture. A culture of soul. A culture
that values life more than war. People more than profits. And hope more
than despair.
