The Bras on a Mission project is officially completed now and was a resounding success!! The original goal of 500 bras collected was not only surpassed - at least 3-4 times that number were collected. Suitcases upon suitcases filled to overflowing are now being sent to help women build self esteem and community respect.  So wonderful!

If you missed your chance to participate but still want to help, consider starting a collection in your own area.

This Cycle our program topic is "The Power of Gratitude". We are exploring the role that Gratitude plays in our lives and how we can live a richer, fuller life by making gratitude a daily practice in all we do. Our vision for the next 6 months:

Gratitude engages the heart as well as the mind. (Emmons) Gratitude is a key to living the lives we love.  Even when those lives are filled with challenges. You will learn to recognize, acknowledge and appreciate all the gifts in your life, including your challenges.  You will experience the three part harmony of complete gratitude.

Join us this cycle--discover the power of gratitude and change your life.

Imagine a place for women to experience the power of releasing their barriers; a place in which women embrace all of who they are and receive acceptance, confidence, and an unprecedented connection with themselves and other women; a place in which women gain a full appreciation of and honour for men; a place where women are empowered to create warm, vulnerable, and trusting relationships with women and men, transforming their lives and the lives of others. Imagine being in this place where women spring forth filled with understanding, hope, joy, and a lightness of being, and as a result take their place in the world as wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, leaders, and peacemakers.

Now, imagine that this place is created in a loving and nurturing environment and delivered in a profoundly powerful, and feminine, way. You have just imagined the Women’s Discovery Weekend…and our collective imagination has been brought into being!

Our 2012 schedule for Women's Discovery Weekends is currently under development. Please contact our This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or your local Chapter Leader if you are interested in participating.
