Listen To Your Ancestors: Bring Their Voices to the Page
Explore the many voices that inform the words we write on the page in this intimate workshop for writing and listening.
Note: Lewis Mehl-Madrona will participate via livestream.
When we sit down to write, we bring many histories with us, in the form of identity markers, family members, ethnicities, religions, race, geography, and more. Let's take a breath here and inquire: Who else is present?
Our ancestors—whether from our own genetic line or any other influence in our lives—can bring inspiration, direction, connection, and belonging. In this weekend retreat we explore who we bring with us to the page—and how they can help.
We listen closely and gain understanding of how these voices inform the words that come through us and onto the page. As we learn that we are not alone, these muses, protectors, and in some cases threats, can also help us distinguish which is our true voice.
This intimate immersion provides structure and resources to help us meet our goals in a vibrant and diverse community of writers. Together we learn to surrender to the story that needs to be told, including the ones we've inherited.

With Hannah L. Drake, Loung Ung, Shabana Basij-Rasikh, Elizabeth Lesser, Jamia Wilson, S. Mona Sinha, Courtney E. Martin, Vivian Williams-Kurutz, Esther Armah, Devi Brown and others.
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
Join inspiring women leaders who want to spark hopeful change–at home, at work, and in their communities–for a weekend of deep conversations and meaningful experiences.
These times call for talk: critical conversations about the pressing issues roiling the world. The kind of talk that plumbs hard truths and also reaches across differences to create connection. The kind of talk that is the antidote to breakdown and the stimulus for breakthrough.
This conference is an invitation to talk, to listen, and to pose and answer questions that women across generations and around the world are asking: How do we redefine power and practice it with compassion, even as we stand strong for rapidly eroding rights? How do we keep joy and creativity alive while facing simultaneous existential threats? How do we care for the suffering in our own neighborhoods and across the globe, and still find energy to dream a new way into being?
Join us for conversations and panel discussions between inspiring conference speakers and participants—about our work, our families, our communities, our despair and grief, our big ideas and bold plans. Come to learn, to be in community, to rest and care for yourself, so you can leave refreshed and ready to do power differently at home and in the world.
Teachers and presenters are subject to change.

Narrative Healing - With Lisa Weinert, Jamia Wilson, Kim Thai, Justin Michael Williams, and Dani Shapiro.
Awaken the healing power of your story with Narrative Healing™, guided by founder Lisa Weinert and guest writers, teachers, and healers.
Please note: Justin Michael Williams and Dani Shapiro appear via livestream on Zoom and not in person.
The first holistic creative program of its kind to incorporate ancient mindfulness and embodiment practices with creative storytelling prompts, Narrative Healing™ will enhance how you listen to, create, and share stories.
Join Narrative Healing founder Lisa Weinert for a nourishing, inspiring, holistic approach to awakening the healing power of your story. Lisa teaches alongside friends and guest teachers Jamia Wilson and Kim Thai, with special livestream appearances by Justin Michael Williams and Dani Shapiro.
The healing power of sharing your story is not based on literary merit, nationality, race, class, gender, or physical or mental ability. It goes much deeper. Our bodies hold our stories and the same way, we need to sweat, eliminate, or exhale to be healthy. Together, make space for the healing capacity of the stories within and around you.
Through embodied practices like gentle movement and meditation, creative prompts, as well as listening circles and moderated conversations, Lisa offers a rich, integrated way to dive into Narrative Healing principles so you can bring this work into your home, your classroom, your office, your community, and the world beyond.
Guided by Lisa and her group of luminary writers, healers, and spiritual leaders, you:
Understand the fundamental ideas of Narrative Healing—and how these ideas can increase healings across the board
Practice the art and science of expressive writing and compassionate listening; learning how to lead groups and individuals through narrative healing practices
Witness the power of beautiful language to transform, inspire, and uplift
Understand narrative techniques, including close reading skills, and compassionate listening
Practice yoga for writers; sequences to strengthen and protect the writing body, along with breathing exercises
Understand how to launch your work into the world
Harness the power of community for personal growth and social change and discover a new circle of support around writing and creating
Practice transformative self-care
This program is for anyone with an open heart and willing mind who is also either on a healing path or in search of new ways to tap into their creative voice. Improve your leadership and communication capabilities, realize your own and others' potential for well-being and success, or use narrative storytelling to spark social change. This includes writers, teachers, caregivers, doctors, nurses, and therapists, and anyone interested in using the power of their story.
Things to Bring
Please note that Omega will not be providing yoga mats to borrow, so you must bring one with you or purchase a mat at the Omega Store. Faculty also asks that you bring a notebook or journal with you to the course.

Women Moving Millions 2022 Annual Summit
Please save the dates for our next Member Day (April 11) and Annual Summit (April 12 & 13). We look forward to gathering in person in beautiful Washington, D.C.!
We can’t realize a gender equal world when democracy isn’t strong –and we can’t have strong democracies without equality. In recent years, progress towards both of these goals has slid dramatically around the world – a downward trend that the pandemic accelerated. Which is why this is such a pivotal moment to come together and recommit to this work.
The theme of the 2022 Women Moving Millions Annual Summit, The Future of Democracy is Gender Equality, is a response to this historic moment and a call to action.
Over the course of three days, we will debate ideas, explore solutions, and examine the unique role and impact that women’s philanthropy can play in achieving these goals – and how you can be a partner in this important work.

Beyond Imposter Syndrome: A Systemic Approach to Promoting Gender Equity in Global Health Leadership
A fireside chat featuring activist and writer Jamia Wilson
in conversation with Global Health Corps alumni from
Rwanda, the U.S., and Zambia
Tuesday, March 29th on Zoom
9-10am PST | 12-1pm EST | 6-7pm CAT | 7-8pm EAT
As the pandemic presses into its third year, progress towards improving women’s health outcomes and rights is in jeopardy. And while women make up the majority of frontline healthcare workers and caregivers, they remain vastly underrepresented in decision making roles in global health. Cultivating individual women's skills and confidence to overcome imposter syndrome matters, but a singular focus on these efforts hasn't yielded enough progress. It's past time for a more systemic, networked approach.
In honor of International Women's Day & Women’s History Month, join Global Health Corps and Jamia Wilson, Executive Editor of Random House, to explore how an imposter syndrome reframe is key to advancing gender equity in global health leadership.

Raising Feminist Voices: Envisioning the Next Chapter of Reproductive Resistance
Raising Feminist Voices: Envisioning the Next Chapter of Reproductive Resistance
What does it look like to raise a feminist today? With local and state governments seeking to eliminate young people’s access to discussions of our shared history, of sexism and racism, and where attacks on trans and gender-expansive young people's’ rights and reproductive rights abound, how can parents, grandparents, caregivers, and mentors to young people prepare the next generation of feminist leaders? What does a feminist future look like?
This Women’s History Month, join The Meteor and National Advocates for Pregnant Women for a conversation with Jamia Wilson and Sarah Sophie Flicker about the future of the reproductive justice movement and feminist resistance.
