Our intention is for this community be as multidisciplinary as possible.
We welcome any woman who…
- practices a form of healing art—any holistic, complementary, and/or natural practices that promote healing, wellness, and personal change; and
- wishes to help other women shine out of love and respect for Mother Earth and all her children.
“We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.”
The Wise Women Community began as a dream for a spirit-led circle of women—an intimate sisterhood where each woman engages in ways of relating, creating, and leading that are different from today’s dominant systems.
Inspired by our innate feminine qualities, our need for belonging, and Goose’s medicine of Shared Leadership, our aspiration is to birth and sustain a nourishing, thriving, and prosperous communal sanctuary where each woman is welcomed with open arms, held, nourished, empowered to be who she is meant to be, and supported in sharing her own unique gifts and medicines with her communities.
We envision this sanctuary to be a place…
…for the initiation of a diverse, collaborative, multidimensional, and self-supporting community.
…for awakened, heart-centered, and sovereign women to come together and:
-
- offer dynamic support, inspiration, and mentorship to each other
- pool resources and talents to strengthen each other’s impact in our respective communities
- support individuals seeking healing services holistically with a multidisciplinary team of practitioners
…for play, sharing, teaching, and healing.
…for the holding of the frequencies of the New Earth—the frequencies of sacred reciprocity, of shared prosperity, of the (re)union of the Sacred Feminine and Masculine, and of right relationship with all our relations.
We are the women who see the future
We know that there are healthier, more sustainable ways of being with ourselves, each other, and all our relations.
Although we do not yet fully know all the details of how this shift will come about or even look like, we are ready to unite in love—as One Heart—to dream into being and birth the structures of a new Story of Interbeing for the next seven generations and beyond.
We are the women who show the way
Our intention, through the creation of this community, is to be the Way Showers; to live, hold, and anchor the frequencies leading the upcoming collective shift; to bring forth information, conscious evolution, sacred connections, as well as love-centered and whole-serving ways of fostering holistic prosperity.
“This [interbeing] way of thinking is one of the greatest attributes of the feminine. It remembers us back to the elements from which we are made, and upon which we are dependent. Like a reciprocal roof, which is a self-supporting structure, we lean on each other from all sides. The center is everywhere and if even one of us falls out of togetherness, we will all eventually fall.”
– Toko-Pa Turner, Remembering Ourselves Home

The Ten Agreements for Evolving Women
1. Holding an Evolutionary Perspective
She strives to live in the knowledge that the creative intelligence that gave birth to the universe is not separate from her true self. She knows that all of the ways that she is conditioned—biologically, socially, and psychologically— are not personal to her, but are part and parcel of a universal developmental process.
2. Trusting in Life
Through letting go of her need to control over and over again, she has discovered the empty Ground of Being that lies at the depth of herself. This profound experience of liberation frees her at the deepest level. As a result, she is at ease, manifesting an undefended innocence, dignity, and independence of spirit.
3. Taking Responsibility for Evolution
Knowing that the entire developmental process is One, she endeavors to take full responsibility for evolving her own consciousness, realizing that her development moves the leading edge forward for all womankind.
4. Realizing Unity with Other Women
She relaxes more and more into a unity with other women as she refuses to act out of the nearly universal compulsion for women to separate from and compete with each other. She doesn’t deny that this compulsion, which has been key to women’s survival in the past, operates in her psyche, nor is she afraid or ashamed of it, but she works to keep her focus on evolving women’s relationships through trust, transparency, and a passion to create the future.
5. Being Emotionally Rational
Despite how overwhelming any emotional experience may be, she strives for objectivity and aspires to liberate her power of choice so that she is no longer trapped by fears and desires rooted in her biological and cultural conditioning. She is developing the emotional maturity to not dis-integrate and give in to ancient survival impulses when she finds herself under pressure.
6. Standing Autonomously and Not Wavering
Rather than gauging her responses by what she thinks others want and need, she is cultivating a radical autonomy, grounded in her longing for liberation and her passion for the evolution of consciousness. She increasingly finds manipulative game-playing distasteful, and craves being simple, straight, and clear in her relationships with others.
7. Relinquishing Sexual Power
She is awake to how deeply identified she is with her sexual power and how instinctive it is to use it to get what she wants. Aspiring to drop this fundamental identification, she finds that sexual relationships become more straightforward and less of a priority and marker of personal success. The more she succeeds in this aspiration, the more she discovers a profound intimacy with others that is not related to sexuality at all.
8. Leading by Example
Dropping the many masks of pretense and self-image, she strives for a rare vulnerability and authenticity that is not emotional but comes from being unafraid of the impulses and motivations that drive women. She is discovering a deep confidence that is not edged with hardness but founded in transparency and humility. She is willing to step forward and be a pioneer, and does not abuse the power that comes with leadership.
9. Being Trustworthy
Resisting the temptation to be dishonest or inauthentic under scrutiny, she desires to act with integrity so that her word is her deed. She aspires to be consistently true to a higher purpose no matter what personal challenges she faces.
10. Rejecting Victimhood
She recognizes that she has co-created history with men and is not a victim of it. She seeks to take full responsibility for her own choices, past and present. Today, she stands side by side with men as an equal co-creator of an enlightened future.

“Worth and abundance is our natural state when we live in solidarity with others and in harmony with the environment. When we each contribute our unique gifts and abilities to the whole, we always have more than we need. Conversely, when things go wrong, we shoulder it together, lessening the load for us all. Only from a place of combined resources can we begin to defeat the [fear-based competition and separation] in our culture.”

Energetic Reciprocity
The Spirit of WWC
The Wise Women Community is her own entity. We the wise women are her caretakers, as well as her family. We support her in meeting her needs, purpose and fulfilment, and she supports the community of women in meeting theirs.
As caretaker it is our responsibility to ensure that she is fed/ nourished/ resourced in a way that meets her unique needs.
We meet her needs so she can thrive.
Ayni.
Sacred reciprocity.
To give is to receive.
Thus, we thrive.
We honour her with Ceremony.
Upon an Altar, we nourish her.
We bathe her, and protect her.
We support her growth and evolution.
We are in open dialogue with her.
We attune to her Natural cycles and rhythm—trusting her own process (not trying to change who she is and how she grows).
We are her guardians.
In return,
She is sanctuary.
She nourishes, feeds and sustains the foundation of our community.
She listens to our needs, and supports us in meeting them.
She honours our cycles and rhythms.
Our spirit dances with hers.
Her evolution is ours, and ours hers.
Her vision in co-creation with our devotion.
In sacred relationship.
Together, we are birthing a new paradigm.
