WOMEN LEADING REGENERATION LEADERSHIP DAY
May 3rd, 10am - 2pm MDT (GMT-6)
Leadership Day is our unique kick-off event to the 2022 Women Leading Regeneration Online Summit. This convening of women, femme and non-binary leaders from around the globe brings us together to strengthen and inspire the brave pathway forward for women's leadership. We’ll hear from the Equal Rights Amendment Coalition and discuss the necessary change to political and institutional structures in order to secure women’s wellbeing under the law.
We seek to strengthen our inner, outer and unique skillsets through a Regenerative Leadership Workshop that includes the aspiration of cultivating ongoing cohorts of women who will continue their development by participating in the Regenerative Design Lab offered by nRhythm following the Summit.
Why we charge for our events: We charge for tickets at our gatherings because we are not a grant supported non-profit. However, we don’t want that to be a constraint for folks who can’t afford the prices that we have set, so we always offer a “Pay What You Can” ticket price.

Panel with Q&A: How We Found Sisterhood in Our Quest for Justice This panel is a brief look at how one of the most extractive systems on our planet has brought us together and is creating a movement of determination towards new levels of justice and freedom for women and children around the globe.

When you are in a movement or the day-to-day grind of systems change, it can be a daunting and overwhelming journey.

Keynote with Q&A: Women and Mother Earth are Entwined As a thriver after breast cancer, it is clear that this illness is a wake up call for women around the world. Breast cancer is the most prominent cancer on Earth. The Mother is sick and her daughters are the canary in the proverbial coal mine. How can we use this insight to grow our bravery to stand up and protect the sanctity of life on Earth? What is in our way to take on the responsibility as the voice for the voiceless?

“The Women Leading Regeneration summit was a beautiful time to get inspired by like-minded women who are actively working to regenerate the health of our planet and people. This felt like a real sisterhood, and a chance to lift one another up and share positive energy toward solutions. I love that we came out of this event with a clear eye toward enhancing networking and support to one another: we have vast networks and a wealth of resources, so this platform is a beautiful way to exchange information and support one another in real world projects. Thank you!”
