I have had the immense good fortune to be surrounded by women from an early age. From my mother and my aunts, to my mother's friends, to my own groups of girlfriends, I have experienced how nourishing it is to be in the company of women. Over the years I have worked with many groups of women and now I share with you two programmes created for us to connect, sustain ourselves and grow.

Who understands what women experience in the everyday day-to-day other than other women? Who can share their experiences, their wisdom and their guidance? In a world where there are inequalities at every level, who can create change, can strengthen and support those around them? Who can recognise when there is a need for us to pause, to reconnect and to master ourself at all levels?

We are reflections of each other. Let us take this time together to build ourselves and the world around us.
