Women Generating 2013 Skills Camp & Classes ABOUT SKILLS CAMPS—Summer Schedule NOW AVAILABLE!
Skills Camps are designed for women to own their confidence, authority, and authentic purpose in order to skillfully take action to increase influence and fulfillment. The camps support direct action, ease with challenging conversations, healthy boundaries, self-care, and increased responsiveness while reducing reactivity. The camps address the critical concerns women have limited by social norms and what history has dictated. This is an opportunity to shift the ways oppression gets internalized and limits full expression. Through collective support and collective confidence, personal and collective barriers dissolve and full presence and power emerge.

STANDING ON MY OWN TWO LEGS: REFLECTIONS AFTER A DAY OF WOMEN GENERATING by AJ Casey I ‘get’ that confidence is self-trust. To gain or strengthen self-trust, I must embrace all of me. I have spent so much time expanding ideas and spirit that I have neglected my physical body…at least I have neglected the stewardship of my health and vitality as provided through my physical body. I have lived to appease emotions and neglected my choice and my power. This work allows me to connect with the livingness of my body: the life and life-force that enlivens my thoughts and my ideals. I think about Stephen Hawking, the brilliant scientist, whose misshapen body has not hindered one iota his contributions to physics and science and our human understanding of the universe. And I recognize that I have mind and body to contribute to my work. I choose to embrace and involve my body as a cherished resource and gift. I can ground myself in my ideals and move deliberately toward fulfilling my ideas. I learned to STAND on my own two legs. I experienced uniting my groundedness with another in love and respect, even when I do not accept the proposition or request they offer. I AM HERE. I trust myself to take the next step. I trust myself to select for myself. I trust myself to know what I stand for. I trust myself to make decisions that are different from what I was taught in my youth, or that are different from what’s expected of me in my social networks. I trust myself to create a supportive network of allies who don’t have to feed me, but rather, who encourage me to find my power, feed my soul and stand on my own two legs. I recognize that mother Earth, Gaia, is my most steadfast, wealthy and ardent supporter. She upholds me; Grounds me; Feeds me and supports me. I may stand on her support and may stand by her support. She has survived bombardment, global changes and epochs of evolution. At no time did her strength wane. Never did she quit, falter or die. She always remains. Always supports life. Always spins on her axis and orbits around her mother, the sun. She is the epitome of forbearance, patience, risk taking and success. And she supports me! I may take advantage of this support by grounding in my knowing and in my longing, and by standing on my own two legs. I stand for courage, the first power that brings its own power with it. It feeds my expansion. It fuels my progress. I stand for love and peace, the highest powers. I stand for harmony. I long to share my message with millions. I long to give encouragement, light, hope and to “point the way” around the world. I long to live vibrantly and peacefully. I long to achieve this vision for my work. This workshop has allowed me to embody my hopes. To move them off the page, out of my mind and into my body. It has put me in touch with my body and with Mother Earth. It has awakened me to the endless resources at my feet: not in space or the cosmos; but, right here where I AM. So the lesson is this: Trust yourself and take some risks. Know yourself and know for what you stand. Then, take a step. Take one, fully-supported step in the direction of your dreams. Amen. To register visit us online at www.womengenerating.com.

“I’ve learned more about myself through collective power than I could learn by myself. And because I feel the support of collective power, I can feel myself more deeply and be more alive in the world. It allows me to be more authentic and truer to who I am at my core – and that allows me to be of greater service in the world and to be a brighter light to others. When I allow more aliveness in my body because of the support of the collective, I ‘m calmer, more centered, more loving and more deeply present to connect with myself and others.” - Women Generating Change Agent
