Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris

Anyone Who Knows How to Run a Household Knows How to Run a World:
Earth Guide

Evolutionary biologist Elisabet Sahtouris sees our current global crisis as a cause for celebration rather than despair. She recognizes the massive breakdowns of our current culture and paradigms of power as the very catalysts necessary to push forth one of the greatest evolutionary transformations in our individual and collective consciousness. As old and familiar ways of thinking and problem solving only continue to leave us in worse conditions than ever before, we are all waking up to the realization that it will take nothing less than a complete re-visioning and radical re-organization of our entire way of being and living if we are to meet the demands of our time.

Join us for an intimate dialogue with one of the greatest scientists and visionaries of our time. Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris will share her latest research and thinking on the evolution of living systems, and offer us guidance in navigating one of the most challenging transformations of our human history. Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris is an internationally acclaimed evolution biologist, futurist, author and lecturer. She is a member of the World Wisdom Council and a fellow of the World Business Academy, as well as a co-founder of the Worldwide Indigenous Science Network.

Women Redefining the World:
Integrating Work & Life to Create a New Society

According to business expert Elizabeth Jarosz, the growth of women in the workforce may be the single most important shift now affecting gender relations and the evolution of culture as a whole. The entrance of women into nearly every domain of public life has set new expectations for employers and spouses, while throwing all assumptions about what it means to be a woman up in the air. As women learn to juggle the roles of wife, boss, mother and friend, we find ourselves struggling to integrate the many demands placed on us by modern life, while also trail blazing the creation of radically new collective structures and ways of being for the future.

Elizabeth Jarosz is a woman perfectly poised to speak to the many pressing concerns now facing us as a new generation of working women. A marketing expert, savvy entrepreneur and insightful artist, Elizabeth has found herself on the forefront of carving out new pathways for women in high-powered business environments for over a decade. After years of work on the frontlines, Elizabeth is now devoted to bringing increasing awareness to these specific challenges through the campaign of a new talk show series. Join us for this compelling conversation-at-the-edge of women's evolution and become inspired by your role as a pioneer and co-creator of the future of our society.

The Solstice of World Change

Join us for a very special gathering with Dr. Jean Houston and friends, as we create a sacred space to empower the emergence of social artists on the individual and collective level. Social artists are leaders, creators and evocateurs of the possible who bring the same order of passion and skill that an artist brings to their art form, to the canvas of our social reality.

Most of us sense we are facing an unprecedented turning point in human history, and it has become necessary to bring forth the yet untapped creative potentials of our individual and collective intelligence to meet the immense demands of our future. As Jean Houston so eloquently puts it, "the capacities that once belonged to the few must now become the province and requirement of the many if we are to survive the next hundred years." In this call, learn how to activate the deepest creative potentials of social artistry in order to serve the world and the higher purpose of your life.

Evolutionary Partnerships:
Standing With and For Each Other to Transform Our Lives and Our World

For most of human history, we women have been organized around a circle of relatedness. Yet, the majority of our care has been motivated by an instinctual need to create safety, security and comfort for ourselves and others, as opposed to extending ourselves inside of a commitment to realize the greater potentials of our lives, and taking a powerful stand to support others to do the same. In our current masculine power system, we have been working on ourselves by ourselves for as long as we can remember.

The truth is, however, that we actually cannot become ourselves by ourselves, nor can we realize our greater potentials by the occasional nods of approval and encouraging words from our friends. To realize our highest potentials, we must rely upon an interdependent field of mutual co-creativity and collaboration. In coming together, we also rise toward the realizations of our greater collective human potentials, becoming the heroines and pioneers of a truly liberated and realized future. Join us for a compelling dialogue as the brilliant Alanis Morissette interviews our very own Katherine Woodward Thomas. Together they explore how we can begin to cultivate intimate and lasting evolutionary partnerships that will best serve our growth as women and give us access to our fullest selves in order to support the evolution of culture and consciousness as a whole.

Dr. Jean Houston

Woman, An Idea Whose Time Has Come:
Why Unleashing the Power of the Feminine is the Key to Personal Fufillment & Planetary Transformation

Many of us sense the great possibility to make a contribution to the transformation of the world. We sense that we are at a turning point and we're feeling called to midwife what many are calling the biggest shift in human history. Yet, we realize that the problems of the world can't be solved at the same level of consciousness that created them. We recognize that to be able to create a new world, we need to become new women--women who have consciously evolved beyond the limiting structures of the past. Women who are liberated both internally and externally, who are empowered co-creators of the future. In this intimate dialogue, Claire Zammit and Jean Houston explore why awakening our Feminine Power is the core transformation that we need to give birth to a new humanity, as well the path to our personal flourishing

Dr. Anodea Judith

From the Love of Power to the Power of Love:
Humanity's Rite of Passage

Our adolescent humanity is facing its initiation. The challenges of our time are the initiating factors, forcing a maturity of global cooperation like never before.

Telling the human story in terms of developmental psychology, mythology, mysticism, and gender politics, Anodea Judith describes the visionary journey through the dark night to the dawn of our adulthood, and articulates the big picture, complete with what is being asked of us at this time. Evolution is the gods' way of making more gods. Are you ready to take the step?

Anodea Judith, Ph.D. is the author of the double award-winning book: Waking the Global Heart, the founder of Sacred Centers, and a global teacher on the subject of personal and cultural transformation. She is best known for her groundbreaking books on the chakra system, (Wheels of Life, Eastern Body Western Mind), and for her award winning DVD, The Illuminated Chakras.

Awakening Planetary Motherhood:
A Dialogue with Barbara Marx Hubbard, hosted by Katherine Woodward Thomas and Claire Zammit

In celebration of Mother's Day, join us and our global community of over 50,000 women for this very special event! As three generations of Women on the Edge of Evolution, we'll explore the possibilities and potential of awakening to a radically new universal archetype of motherhood, which holds the key to both personal and planetary transformation.

The celebration of Mother's day has a long history. In its contemporary secular form, the celebration of Mother's day spans across 46 countries and offers the opportunity for millions of us to pause and honor that one central woman in our lives who has made great efforts and sacrifices to support our individual growth. But what meaning does motherhood have to those of us now pushing the leading edge of culture and consciousness? As women become less and less defined by their traditional roles as mothers and caregivers, what new foundation might there be for a new, evolutionary archetype of motherhood to emerge? And what is the significance of this emergence personally and collectively?

Gather your mothers, sisters and women friends together for this very intimate and important conversation that's not to be missed! Barbara Marx Hubbard--social innovator, speaker, author, educator and leader in the new worldview of conscious evolution--will discuss Planetary Motherhood with your Women on the Edge of Evolution hosts, Katherine Woodward Thomas and Claire Zammit. Katherine Woodward Thomas is the national bestselling author of Calling in "The One," a licensed psychotherapist and the co-creator and co-leader of the Feminine Power transformative courses for women. Claire Zammit is a highly trained transformative educator, the co-creator of the Feminine Power courses for women and co-leader of a thriving, global community of women. Enjoy this dynamic and inspiring Women on the Edge of Evolution Mother's day event!

Daphne Rose Kingma

Flourishing Through the Personal and Planetary Crisis

Despite how much we might wish it to be otherwise, first hand experience repeatedly shows us that our greatest growth does not necessarily happen in times of stability, but rather, in periods when we are confronted with great difficulty, loss and breakdown in our lives. It is when our entire being is held up against a wall of suffering and limitation, and when we have run out of all strategies for coping or turning away from our pain, that we are faced with the humbling opportunity to learn the true meaning of faith, and surrender ourselves to inner transformation. Unfortunately, this isn't something we were taught in school, nor is it something our culture offers us much guidance for navigating. Pain and grief are some of the most potent ingredients for personal and collective transformation, and as we continue to confront a deepening crisis of global proportions, there is no doubt that we are in desperate need of new skills and tools to assist us through the chaos and support the emergence of a new world.

Join us for an intimate conversation with author and speaker, Daphne Rose Kingma, who shares from her wealth of wisdom in working with crisis as a catalyst for personal and collective transformation. Daphne explores the many ways that we can move beyond mere strategies of coping, so as to actually begin to flourish and transform under the pressure and evolutionary tension of our times. Daphne Rose Kingma is the author of The Ten Things to Do When Your Life Falls Apart. Her bestsellers include Coming Apart, The Men We Never Knew and The Future of Love. A charismatic speaker, she has presented keynotes and seminars to audiences throughout the United States and Europe.

Susan Schachterle

Women as Leaders, Women as Healers:
How to Find Your Power to Change the World

What if we were to discover that the monumental shift in culture catalyzed by the women's movements of the 60s and 70s, had only but scratched the surface of our possibility, power and potential as women. Women today have an unprecedented access to freedom and power that would have been unimaginable to our feminist foremothers. As a result, many of us now intuit our sacred obligation to leverage the boon of that privilege so as to further the project of emancipation and cultural evolution that first lit the fire of the feminist revolution.

Join us with author and inspirational coach, Susan Schachterle, who shares the wisdom she has gained from decades of experience assisting women to step out of powerlessness and into their deepest potential and possibility for impacting change in the world. Susan is a best-selling author (The Bitch, The Crone, and The Harlot; and the novel Between Darkness and Light) and her work focuses on the power women bring to the world when they recognize, honor, and express the gifts that are inherent in feminine energy. In her work both across the US and internationally, Susan assists women to recognize who they truly are and the part they are called to play in helping to re-establish balance and an ever deepening sense of possibility in society.

Alanis Morissette

Authentic Power:
Stepping Up and Stepping Out in Service to Our Collective Evolution

Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter and multiple time Grammy winner, Alanis Morissette, speaks intimately to the trials and vicissitudes that come with being a woman on the front lines of power and influence. At twenty-one years of age, Alanis' album Jagged Little Pill skyrocketed her to unexpected worldwide recognition and fame, selling more than 30 million copies and becoming the best selling debut album of any female artist in music history. At this very young age, Alanis found herself thrust on an international stage, an icon of rock and roll whose voice was changing the face of the entire music industry. Through the swirl, Alanis made a fierce decision to stay true to her own voice amidst enormous pressure from both fans and industry insiders who all wanted to stake their claim in shaping her emerging career.

Join us for an intimate conversation with singer-songwriter, record producer, and pop culture icon, Alanis Morissette, as she speaks about the joys and hardships she faced then, and continues facing now, in embracing her own power and stepping up and stepping out inside of a profound commitment to artistic integrity, authenticity and truth in how she navigates her career, her life and her message to the world.

Lucia René

Unplugging the Patriarchy

For centuries, Patriarchy has defined and reinforced women's experience of separation: separation from one other, from men, from the larger socio-political world, and most importantly from their own deeper selves. From the 19th century onward, this dominant Patriarchal paradigm has continued to break down, and so have the ascribed gender roles that previously held it together, opening women to unprecedented possibilities for personal, collective and spiritual growth. Yet, it seems that we women are still struggling to shake off centuries of patriarchal conditioning that has taught us not to step out or speak up in a way that really matters.

Join us for an intimate dialogue with writer, teacher and mystic, Lucia René, as she shares wisdom and insights from her new book, Unplugging the Patriarchy. According to Lucia, the only way we as a species are going to generate the solutions necessary to deal with the political, economic and environmental crisis now facing us, is if women today take on the deep and sacred task of unplugging from the Patriarchy, both within and without. Lucia René is a writer, teacher and ordained Buddhist monk, who for forty years has drawn on the practices of Hinduism, Zen, Advaita and Vadriyana Buddhism. Her spiritual work culminated in a seventeen year apprenticeship to an enlightened master who taught American Buddhism, psychic development, and tantric mysticism.

Marilyn Nyborg

Women Waking the World

Change always begins in the margins. It is in the margins, amidst small groups of committed individuals thirsting for change, that the ecstatic impulse of evolution first makes itself known. Long-time feminist, spiritual activist, and founder of the newly emergent organization Women Waking the World, Marilyn Nyborg knows first-hand the power of a small group to transform society and the world. Through their inspiring grassroots initiatives, Women Waking the World seeks to address what Marilyn describes as the greatest task of our time: the conscious restoration of the sacred feminine into a world that has grown deeply out of balance.

Join us as Marilyn Nyborg discusses the core inspiration behind her work and offers her wisdom to all women who seek to re-integrate the feminine back into their lives in order to find their own voice and power to Wake the World. Marilyn is a spiritually based activist who first became engaged in social issues in the '60's, during the civil rights movement. Recognizing the need for women to find their voices and claim their power, she began working in women's circles in the 80s, and in 2002 became a co-founder of Gather the Women. In 2009 Marilyn initiated a conversation about the loss and degradation of women's wisdom and contributions due to the repression of the feminine. These conversations then led to the birth of her new organization, Women Waking the World.

Miriam Martineau

Spiritual Motherhood: Parenting as an Evolutionary Path of Practice and Activism

Evolutionary educator and mother, Miriam Mason Martineau, argues that the dichotomy many women experience between motherhood and self-actualization needs to be transcended, and motherhood itself needs to be radically re-contexualized within an evolutionary understanding of transformative parenting. In Martineau's own words, "My own experience and study points to the fact that motherhood is now one of the most potent and effective ways to drive evolution forward, both in ourselves, in our children, and subsequently in our world."

Join us for an intimate dialogue with Miriam Martineau, an educator and mother who has dedicated her life to re-defining the traditional limits of motherhood in order to uplift parenting as one of our greatest opportunities for personal growth and spiritual activism. Miriam is an evolutionary visionary who effuses a love for life that few possess. For the past 15 years Miram has studied and researched how parenting can be pursued as a spiritual practice. She is vice-president and faculty member of Next Step Integral, an organization that applies integral consciousness to parenting, education, ecology, and community. Miriam is also a private practice integral psychotherapist, and her interest in peak performance, vitality and leadership building have led her to her work closely with Univera, an emerging international biotech company.

Women everywhere are waking up to a deep desire to unleash their greatest contribution into the world. Many of us are increasingly hearing the call to wholeheartedly participate in the future evolution of culture and society, but often feel less than equipped in knowing how to actualize the flowering of our highest potentials. Each of us intuitively feels we have something unique and important to offer--a piece of the puzzle that only we can bring through the manifestation of our deepest gifts--but often stumble on our own self-doubt, our fear of failure and/or success, and our tendency to get swept away in the inertia of the status quo.

Having Enough of Life

Ever wonder when enough really is enough? Driven by the need to have it all but secretly worry that maybe you just don't know when to stop? Join us this Saturday, January 9th, in conversation with best selling author and advocate of simple living, Ms. Vicki Robin.
