REGISTER

This is not a traditional talk or conference.

This is an activation of feminine intelligence held among artist Lydia Ruyle’s renowned Goddess Banners and Sacred Portals exhibition.

At this pivotal moment in our world, join ALTAR Community for an afternoon designed to ignite leadership, conscience, and a new way forward. Together, we can shape the world we want to live in.

Guided by Marianne Williamson, the afternoon invites reflection on leadership, conscience, and responsibility at a moment when new ways of leading are urgently needed.

A bestselling author, spiritual and progressive thought leader, and grassroots activist for 35 years, there is no one better to guide us on this meaningful day!

When Women Lead is shaped by the intentional convergence of three elements:

1. Marianne Williamson’s voice, grounded in spirituality, conscience, and moral courage.

2. ALTAR Community, convening women in a space designed for reflection, belonging, and shared inquiry.

3. The Sacred Portals art exhibition featuring images of the Divine Feminine across cultures and time; offering visual allies for reflection, imagination, and inner listening.

How this International Women's Day Event Unfolds:
The gathering is designed to feel spacious, intentional, and alive, allowing each woman to engage in her own way.
