“First read this book carefully, perhaps aloud to a friend. Then dance with it. Then draw in it. Then bundle it in a leather pouch and take it someplace sacred—like under a large tree, alongside clear water, into the temple of a coffee shop, into a circle of women. Then read this book again. There is wisdom here that women and companioning men need in order to make the world anew. Bravo to Kris Steinnes for holding the vision, calling the gatherings, and harvesting these voices and images.”

“This anthology of wisdom from some of the greatest women thinkers and writers of our time is a rare treasure. It inspires, informs, and gives us hope for the future in which the best potential of all people, and of our precious earth, can be realized.”

— Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Inner Peace for Busy Women and A Woman's Book of Life

What can women offer the world?

What hidden potentials and secret gifts reside in the depths of feminine spirit?

Answers bloom like wildflowers in Women of Wisdom, a mixture of spiritual, academic, and artistic contributions from professionals and lay people who share their experience of being women and being divine. Since 1993 women have been attending the WOW gathering to uncover and celebrate the power of feminine spirit. In these selections, poetry mixes with history, visual art with the inner spirit, and the intellect with soulful longing, creating an inspiring kaleidoscope of feminine reverence. Often practical, always moving, the guidance on these pages speaks to the divine within us all.

Kris Steinnes is the visionary founder of Women of Wisdom Foundation and in 1993 she organized the first WOW Conference in Seattle. Year after year she has brought together women leaders from many fields to to share their experiences and help build a world in which women’s voices are heard and feminine wisdom can be live to its fullest. Kris has a commitment to bring feminine consciousness to the fore of our collective experience.

A native of Seattle, Kris is a minister, spiritual leader and meditation teacher. It gives her great pleasure to share with you the knowledge and gifts of presenters and participants from sixteen years of WOW gatherings.

“Women of Wisdom offers a wide range of possibilities, images, and visions for galvanizing a better world for future generations. This compilation is a timely and invaluable resource for all ages, cultures, and disciplines.”

— Angeles Arrien, author of The Four-Fold Way and The Second Half of Life.
