Women’s Forum provides an opportunity for growth, connection and inspiration that meets you where you are today.
Group formation
We take great care in launching each wForum group, with fit being an important and mutual consideration. Women are grouped with peers, often of similar age and life-stage. Members learn the art of peer facilitation through our practices, tools, and expertise.
Peer facilitation
Rotating the role of facilitator offers each member a voice and function in the group. The facilitator role is a creative opportunity, giving you permission to select ideas and topics that interest you, and bring that discussion to the group . Sharing the role of facilitator energizes members to fully engage in shaping the success of the group. Everyone has something of value to offer in meeting planning, and a variety of facilitation styles keeps things interesting.
Commitment
Groups meet in person and meetings are held once a month for about 3 hours. The time flies by when 6 or more share a high level of commitment to the culture that we are here for each other. There’s power in showing up for others - what you put in comes back to you in spades. In a trustworthy group of women, meetings feel like a privilege not a hardship.
Outcomes
Groups begin a relationship in wForum, a relationship that can change your life. The purpose of the group is to invest in your own growth and invest in the growth of others. If you join wForum with that intention, both for yourself and others, the group will evolve and members will thrive.
As trust in self and trust in the group builds, any barriers to closeness or truth will seem less necessary. There is no need to hide because safety is itself a protective type of power. With Trust as armor….you can relax into being your true self.
