empowering women

After 11 years on this journey of joy and learning, I am closing down my foundation, having transferred the monies into a donor advised fund. So much has happened since 2012, including grants to many organizations, 16 retreats, 100+ zoom Check-in's, 50+ Gatherings, publication of the Principle Quest Unwrapped facilitator's guide, and three Gatherings hosted at my home (sometimes it was a bit sweltering!@#) 

While I am letting go of facilitating retreats, I remain deeply committed to our remarkable community of women – 150+ stong.

In the pretense-free and welcoming community of Principle Quest, 40 of us broke into smaller groups to reflect on the wisdom of Amanda Gorman:  

"There is always light if only we are brave enough to see it, if only we are brave enough to be it."

“We're not the sand that absorbs the water of the sea. You see, we are the storm, the very form of change that the world has been waiting for. A future forged forth by a future that is female!”

Grace Institute's annual breakfast celebrates 123 years of teaching women office skills tuition-free. The Principle Quest Foundation is proud to be a supporter and champion of their work. 

Here's a recording of the 2020 event  My 8 guests and I were inspired by Lisa's and Sia's moving stories about graduating from Grace Institute. Honoree Carla Harris (at 39:05 in the YouTube) gave us real hope and the incredible boost we all need to be courageous change agents!
