Women RISE

In a world, where women are discriminated because of their gender, undervalued in their leadership potential and often overloaded by the many responsibilities of managing work and family duties, the project Women RISE calls for spaces to regenerate women and find new motivation to follow the deeper intention that is hidden in their hearts.

This is particularly true for women that are in the transition phase – around 50 years of age – characterised by many physical, social, relational and emotional changes. The project Women RISE calls for women that feel the need of a new orientation in life and a support to engage into their “second spring”.

There were different opportunities to be part of the project:

By joining the Women RISE encounters in Vienna

Change does not necessarily need to be tiring, serious and tedious. Actually a nice informal environment and committed people are of great support in change processes, where women feel safe, accepted and have a sense of belonging to a common humanity that express itself in each of us.

With this in mind the 5 monthly gatherings were hosted in public spaces with the possibility to eat and drink while creating space for women to rise. The spaces and the process allowed for maximum 20 women. Each encounter had a theme that was addressed by having in mind that the best sharing and deep reflection start with a low threshold, an easy entry point to kick off conversations that made women to feel safe and willing to disclose more.

The encounters had the slogan:

Gute Gespräche gehen durch den Magen, den Geist, das Herz.

The aim of each encounter was to guide the women to explore a stagnant situation – that does not allow them to fully express their fullest potential – and to support them to move out of it.

The gatherings always started at 18:00 and the programme run until 21:00, with an open end for those wishing to stay longer and network. Language was be a mix of English and German.

The encounters were on Thursday 18 April and 16 May, Wednesday 19 June, 17 July, and 29 August 2024.

As a wonderful and unexpected follow-up there will be new gatherings in 2025, initiated by some of the women that attended the encounters in 2024.

All this will be posted in the WOMEN RISE Facebook group, as well as in the Whatsapp chat.

 

By attending the Women RISE day retreat

A 3 days long gathering for 12  women  for a deep dive to embody the ground and rise,  a concrete step for women empowerment. The  inner processes was based on the Women RISE approach (Magen-Geist-Herz) and used the power of pure essential oils as transformation guides.

The Women RISE retreat was 27-29 September in Vienna.

By downloading and using the Women RISE Handbook

The Women RISE Handbook features the Women RISE approach and it gives a comprehensive and actionable material for setting up women circles.
