When Women Come to Pray

Our mission

Our mission is to nurture a community of women and girls that embodies collaboration, connection, and belonging, thereby modeling a paradigm of wholeness for our world. 

We are an inclusive, intergenerational, inter-spiritual community of women. We gather regularly to read blessings from all traditions, hold each other in all seasons of life, and offer prayers for one another and the world.

Our gatherings range from in-person services to online prayer circles to service projects to multi-day retreats. Our practice of ritualized gathering fosters deep connection and learning among women, offers healing presence, and cultivates a culture of belonging.

Join our community

We invite you to attend our in-person and online gatherings and events.

  • “When a complex system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to shift the entire system to a higher order.”

  • “The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word ‘struggle’ from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
