A Note From Karen

Once again autumn brings with it the promise of new beginnings and hints of the harvest to come.

More and more women across the country are asking me “What do I need to know being an older woman?” Men too are contemplating their changing role as they age.

Our stories and our role as wisdom leaders for the 21st century needs to be voiced and shared. Please click to read this month’s feature, Wild Wisdom Unleashed.
