Encouraging people to awaken their inner wisdom and passionate creativity to benefit humanity

Women and Wisdom

​Women and Wisdom Welcomes All

Women and Wisdom is committed to providing an avenue for communion with self and service to others through encouraging people to awaken to their inner wisdom and passionate creativity.

​

We began in New York City in 1979, becoming a 501 (c) (3) Foundation in 2003 after years of conscious community-building experiences and serving as a source of spiritual connection for thousands.

​

Our intention is to create events and communications that focus on the psycho-spiritual growth and creative well-being of all persons, thereby enhancing the human spirit and promoting conscious growth for everyone.  

​

We rely on tax-deductible individual contributions to sustain our endeavors for the greater good. 

A Quote by Rumi: Come, come, whoever you are wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vow a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.
