The Sword Sisters initiative is aimed at women in senior leadership. It’s core intention is to support women as they connect to their innate, intuitive and incredible feminine power.
For senior decision makers, it builds confidence and courage to tackle the conversations and strategic decisions that are needed to support future business planning to include purpose, people and planet, as well as profit as their outcome.

“The most surprising thing was how natural it felt to play with the sword. The other thing was the meditation with the heart and connecting with the heart – it has been a real revelation for me. This practice has really made me feel like I am really nurturing myself and caring for myself in ways that I have never done before. I want to continue. It has been an amazing journey.” – VERA
“I didn’t have much prior knowledge or expectation, but I really loved the succinct different parts of the week. I loved that we built on the practice but also the mindfulness element. The connection between body and mind I really enjoyed was a surprise. It’s really sparked my interest to continue it. I’m focused on the fact that I don’t want it to be just something I did over a fixed period of time, but I’d like to learn more about it and how to bring it into my life in a more regular way.” – HELENA
“In observing the grace of everyone involved, it’s been an extraordinary time and an extraordinary coming together. There’s a part of me that really wanted to get hold of the f****** sword and slash it around. Everyone just wants to make it more a part of their lives and support one another to keep going, as everyone wants to find a way to make it part of their lives.” – LUCIA
