When Women Gather, Magic Happens...
By Monique Martineau
Monique Martineau co-founded the first community chapter of Women of Vision and Action in 1995 and grew it to 300 members. As a facilitator and coach, she provides fertile ground for women, one-on-one or in circles, to bring their visions into action with awareness.

The world will be saved by the Western woman," said H.H., The Dalai Lama. Wow, the thought of it is inspiring! When women are grounded in feminine power, mountains can be moved: not so much with "will" as with wisdom and love. But we must see through the veils of ego and its agenda for the purity of action to pour forth with divine direction. Women gathering in community is a beautiful way to reflect and increase this awareness.
Buddhists start their path by taking refuge in the Triple Jewels: The Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. The Buddha is the enlightened one. The Dharma is the teaching. The Sangha is community with others of like mind and heart. These are most important if one is on a path to raise personal awareness and contribute to awareness in the world.
Magic happens when women come together with this intention. We support each other on personal projects and challenges. We celebrate the feminine and all its various forms. We become empowered and grounded in wisdom and love. From this place, we can save the world. It all begins with "me" then spreads to "we."
I encourage women to create regular gatherings with friends or join one of mine. Bask in the glorious feminine. Let it strengthen and rejuvenate you.
