is grounded in feminism
openly acknowledges spirituality
has a ‘broad church’ philosophy

supports women in their journeys
actively affirms and acknowledges women

is inclusive and welcoming of all people
celebrates diversity and difference
acknowledges the original Indigenous inhabitants of this country

looks for the good in people
encourages women to be strong, powerful and to speak their wisdom

makes decisions collaboratively
is non-hierarchical
is non-competitive

honours the importance of process, even when that’s challenging and time-consuming
deals with conflict elegantly
delights in others’ achievements

treats people respectfully
sits with women when the going is tough
resides in a beautiful space

Now I’ve found it

it’s called
Sophia
