The Family of Women
The Family of Women is a purpose-driven organization whose members strive to support one another to have successful lives and relationships, and realize our Mission Statement. We meet weekly or monthly and, in relationship, support one another to take our place as purposeful women in the world, and to have our dreams become reality.
Happy New Year!
Hello everyone, and Happy 2012! As we begin this new year, the Board of the Family of Women wishes to THANK ALL the volunteers who give their time, creativity, heart and commitment to our wonderful organization.
THANK YOU to every program leader and all the other local leaders such as Chapter leaders, Chapter leadership team members, Territory leaders and Territory Leadership Team members, Collaboration Team members, Committee members and Board members -- your contributions make the Family of Women a welcoming place for members and Friends and guests. To every woman who volunteered in any way (in your program, area, chapter, territory or in your community) -- THANK YOU!
Without volunteers, the Family of Women would not be the vibrant, exciting organization that it is. We are GROWING, we are THRIVING, we are MOVING FORWARD. We are LEADING, INSPIRING and MENTORING women to embrace their power, purpose and value! We are EMPOWERING women to live the lives they love!
THANK YOU for being such an integral part of the Family of Women's success. Here's to more success and growth in 2012!

MEMBERSHIP: New & Exciting Ways to be a Member
The Family of Women Board of Directors just announced several exciting enhancements to participation by Family of Women members and non-members in our programs and events. We believe women join the Family of Women to: * learn how to understand and accept yourself; * develop skills to have the relationship(s) you want with women and men; * be with like-minded women who support your dreams and goals and learn from each others' experience; * come to know and accept your value by being a mentor and having mentors to support you; * develop close, ongoing non-competitive connections with women formed through a culture of openness and trust; and * learn how to be a confident leader in your life.
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES, RELATIVES to "check us out" - they will quickly find out how amazing we are!
What’s New! - Guest Program Attendance – Any woman can attend up to three of ANY weekly graduate program sessions during a 6-month cycle (January to June or July to December), not just the programs that are designated “open to guests.” To continue attending graduate program, she must formally join the Family of Women in one of the following ways.
Supporting Level membership is for those who have graduated from a weekend and the cost is $50 US/$49.50 CDN for the 6-month cycle and provides (among other things) voting privileges, leadership opportunities, participation in territory/chapter/area meetings, and member discount for FOW events.

A Supporting Level member now may join at any time during the cycle - the fees are prorated (see membership form).
Friends Level membership is available for non-members (those who have not graduated from a weekend) - and is offered in two ways.

Dues are $50 US/$49.50 CDN for the 6-month cycle and include information on all FOW events, and member discount for FOW events and the Women's Discovery Weekend. You can add the weekly programs for the entire 6-month cycle for $50 US/$49.50 CDN. What’s New! A Friends Level member now may join at any time during the cycle. The fees are prorated as explained on the Friends Level Membership form.
By Registration – Any woman who registers for an entry weekend (Women's Discovery Weekend or Sterling Women's Weekend) can register as Friends Level member at no charge. You can participate in all weekly programs and territory/ chapter/area meetings from the time you register until you complete your weekend.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Family of Women. Talk to a graduate or contact us and we'll talk!
Women's Discovery Weekend
Imagine a place for women to experience the power of releasing their barriers; a place in which women embrace all of who they are and receive acceptance, confidence, and an unprecedented connection with themselves and other women; a place in which women gain a full appreciation of and honour for men; a place where women are empowered to create warm, vulnerable, and trusting relationships with women and men, transforming their lives and the lives of others. Imagine being in this place where women spring forth filled with understanding, hope, joy, and a lightness of being, and as a result take their place in the world as wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, leaders, and peacemakers.
Now, imagine that this place is created in a loving and nurturing environment and delivered in a profoundly powerful, and feminine, way. You have just imagined the Women’s Discovery Weekend…and our collective imagination has been brought into being!
Our 2012 schedule for Women's Discovery Weekends is currently under development. Please contact our This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or your local Chapter Leader if you are interested in participating.
Gratitude Cycle
This Cycle our program topic is "The Power of Gratitude". We are exploring the role that Gratitude plays in our lives and how we can live a richer, fuller life by making gratitude a daily practice in all we do. Our vision for the next 6 months:
Gratitude engages the heart as well as the mind. (Emmons) Gratitude is a key to living the lives we love. Even when those lives are filled with challenges. You will learn to recognize, acknowledge and appreciate all the gifts in your life, including your challenges. You will experience the three part harmony of complete gratitude.
Join us this cycle--discover the power of gratitude and change your life.
