“And the day came when the risk it took
to remain tight in the bud was
more painful than the risk it took to bloom" - Anais
Nin
“The time has arrived for us to claim our power. For
women (and men) to unite hand-in-hand using our unique talents
to illuminate the world with our spirit; to cascade our worries
to the wind and to celebrate all that we were born to be.
Like seedlings that grow with love and care, we water the
hearts of many, empower those beside us, and fill ourselves
with a garden of hope.
Great is our destiny. Women, through their intention and action,
have unlimited potential to empower each other to believe
in the impossible, to uplift one another, and in conscious
union, celebrate our divinity and uniqueness. I invite you
to welcome peace and harmony into your life and stand in the
power of love and light.” - Laura Ponticello
The movement to empower women across the globe is growing
stronger and stronger each day. Laura’s List: Books for
Women by Laura Ponticello is 30,000 strong and utilizes Big
Bridge Connections to tell stories of individual women from
across the world.
Each spring Treble Associates produces Room
Full of Sisters, an annual gathering that celebrates women
and serves “as a container to hold all of who we are.”
Founder, Melina Carnicelli says, “It is a uniquely joyous
event where each individual feels welcome in a room of people
of diverse backgrounds, ages, cultures, belief systems, races,
business-affiliations, economic & education levels, geographic
beginnings, work & family lives, and myriad talents and
interests.” Room Full of Sisters is a container that
celebrates differences and honors all who attend with love
and light.
