educator. co-leader. consciousness evolver
Transformative educator, speaker, and writer Claire Zammit co-created The New Feminine Power courses and co-leads a thriving community of thousands of women throughout the world. [www.FemininePower.com]
One of the things I’m most passionate about is creating cultures and communities oriented toward learning. In my work, I foster the creation of learning communities that empower our abilities to grow and change and develop. What’s most meaningful to me is having relationships, with my team, our organization, and in our own work.
In our feminine power community – a community of women with a context of flourishing and being partners in our own evolution, we have a set of agreements that serve as the foundation for our relationships with each other. For example, we have a shared agreement about seeing things from a larger perspective and context and not relating to things so personally. Then we can explore our experience inside a collective conversation that’s not about the trouble I have with men at work, but about how we as women handle holding power with men. When we focus less on the personal and more on the collective, there’s an intimacy that opens up.
Shared agreements are the foundations of what creates culture. They’re a way of learning and evolving together. Learning together has to be the way of the future. What I’m most excited about in the work I’m doing with feminine power is the space of this new culture we’re building between the women in our community. It begins to have its own life.
One of the premises of our work is the idea that we need partnership with each other to be able to grow in the ways that matter most and to be able to take risks in our lives that enable us to make our biggest contributions.
Where there’s a lack of connection, there’s a lack of meaning. Creating more meaning is all about connections. We can take time to connect with ourselves, ask questions, and listen deeply. What am I feeling? What do I need? What do I desire? We can take time to connect with others. What are they feeling? What do they need? What do they desire? We can ask more and go deeper. What does life need? What does life desire of my life, of my contribution?
We’re living at a time when the challenges of being women are unprecedented. I’d be interested in meeting and talking with women in the future who are leaders in a time when men and women work together. I’d love to tap into that future and see more clearly the possibilities for our human society and culture.
