What does it look like when we amplify the stories of women in scripture and take lessons in leadership from women like Miriam, Deborah, Jael, Vashti and countless unnamed women when they are released from the confines of patriarchy?
Women leading the way
This retreat focuses on cultivating leadership practices rooted in the ancient wisdom of women drawing on examples of inspirational leadership found in the, often hidden, stories of Biblical women.
Made for such a time as this
We live in interesting times which demand leadership involving imagination and creativity – gifts and qualities exhibited by numerous women in scripture.
Miriam's Sisters, Deborah's Daughters explores a fresh approach to leading the church through its current times of change.
