"This experience has quite literally been the single most powerful journey of my life. The love and sisterhood that is modelled here is a blueprint for a healthy society." Jill

 

Community

The UK Women in Power community is growing.

In December 2014 Women in Power UK was registered as a Community Interest Company (CIC): a not-for-profit business with a remit to provide development programmes to women of 23 and over that support their psychological healing and growth and help them identify and achieve their wants and needs.

The CIC currently has three unpaid Directors, each of whom serve for at least three years. To share the load, we aim to rotate our Directors, in line with the third of the “leadership lessons from geese”, which provide us with a template for women’s leadership. This is an important way to ensure a thriving and sustainable future for this community, one of WiP UK’s guiding principles.

The current Directors are Trupti Magecha, Sophie Boss and Susannah Buckingham.  They are supported by Karen Feberman and Elizabeth Klyne. Many other women also give many hours of service to enable this work to grow and flourish, sharing their skills and giving their time in a wide variety of ways.

Once you have completed the initiation, there are ways to stay in touch with the work and the community:

• support structures such as R-Calls to ease your transition in the months after your initiation
• staffing future initiations (which is another initiation in itself)
• community gatherings
• fundraising events
• twice-yearly newsletters
• joining one of the core organising groups to help develop different aspects of our work
• creating or joining one of our local dens
• and who knows what other ideas you may come up with…

We look forward to welcoming you into this rich range of activities. Our aim is to deepen our understanding of ourselves and of what it is to be part of a growing community who all share the profound and life-changing experience of the Women in Power initiation. We believe that our world needs this work more than ever.

Diversity statement

WIP UK embraces and values difference of all kinds. We welcome women from all backgrounds and walks of life to our initiation and strive not to discriminate on the basis of age, disability, class, ethnicity or race, religion and belief, sexual orientation, or any other category which may be used to divide. We are open to conversation, questions and suggestions to become more diverse and inclusive.
