After 11 years on a journey of joy and learning, I am closing down my foundation, having transferred the monies into a donor advised fund. So much has happened since 2012, including grants to many organizations, 16 retreats, 100+ zoom Check-in's, 50+ Gatherings, publication of the Principle Quest Unwrapped facilitator's guide, and three Gatherings hosted at my home (sometimes it was a bit sweltering!@#) 

While I am letting go of facilitating retreats, I remain deeply committed to our remarkable community of women – 150+ stong.

Principle Quest Gathering October 2021

Power at Work was the subject of Sunday's Gathering where 21 of us explored power and influence with candor, vulnerability and humor, all striving to be more self-aware. When my personality fully aligns with my soul is one definition of authentic power. Changing the world requires knowing our impact and stepping up to be our best. Thank you to those who were there!

Principle Quest Gathering August 2021

All 29 of us were outside, and while boiling hot, it didn't rain! One of our exercises: Imagine if your heroine was right here looking at you today, what might she say – advice, an affirmation, a warning? I am grateful to this community of women, who traveled to be here, reconnected, laughed, too, in spite of Henri, Delta, etc.! #community

In the past year Principle Quest foundation supported a number of exciting initiatives, and I am thankful for the important work accomplished by these organizations. I have the privilege of overseeing these grants, small in size, yet huge in impact for the girls and women who receive education, encouragement and training.

Thanksgiving & Inaugural Retreat

on Wed, 2012-11-21 15:28

 

Reentering the 'real world' after the inaugural Principle Quest Retreat, I am filled with gratitude. Thanksgiving takes on new meaning. Finding my calling and witnessing twelve women embark on a personal journey over this past weekend was a gift! Who knew the weekend before Thanksgiving would take on such meaning for us all? A huge thank you to the twelve courageous women who, not knowing what to expect, attended and agreed to trust the process. I am once again finding gratitude to be the highest form of spiritual practice, and just that rediscovery is wonderful, too!
