As humanity is poised on the cusp of a powerful cultural shift into unity and oneness, it is imperativefor women to fully take their place alongside men. Women see things differently, do things differently

and are affected by things differently than men. Sister Joan Chittisterobserves At the crossroads inlife, authority goes one direction: back. . . Leadership, on the other hand, rewrites the book. . . . The

times are clear. The needs are now. The time for new decisions is upon us. Authority is not enough for

times such as these. We need leaders now.

While women's leadership is a focus of a number of US and Canadian organizations, very few if anygive central attention to the spiritual and faith-oriented basis of and motivation for that leadership. Intruth, western women of spirit and faith are still learning individually and collectively how toeffectively bring forth their leadership.

Alchemy of Our Spiritual Leadership: Women Redefining Powerauthentically invites creative co-creation by many diverse women leaders and spiritual womens organizations and catalyzes a more

cohesive community among women of spirit with the capacity to generate on-going relationship,collaboration and action.
