RESOURCES
During these trying times, women need self-empowerment tools, support
and resources more than ever!
With all the troubling things happening in the world right now, it may feel as though humanity and especially women, are losing ground.

-
breathe
-
stay grounded and centered (to the best of our ability)
-
practice self-care
-
hold our spiritual vision for the world we want
-
educate ourselves
-
share knowledge

come together in community

support one another
-
take action

The Good Newsletter
A weekly email newsletter sharing good news
Over the course of the last few years, collective division and hate have run rampant throughout the world. At times, it’s felt impossible to see any hope or way forward as a society.
That’s when we decided to start actively looking for the helpers. The Goodnewsletter was not born out an attempt to avoid the reality of the world’s greatest pains, but to find the helpers and hopeful stories happening right within them. We’ve found that in seeking good news, we’ve been able to come out of sulking and actually take action, becoming good news ourselves.
