"If you want to build a ship, don't drum
up people to collect wood, and don't
assign them tasks and work, but rather
teach them to long for the endless
immensity of the sea.”
-French writer Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Our goal is to offer a program where women can learn to create their own work and income as well as contribute to their communities.

*To work to understand the needs of immigrant and refugee women culturally, emotionally and spiritually as they seek to establish their lives in their new country
* To respect individual cultures, traditions and religions, and learn to co-create a caring and striving community
* To challenge each other to bring forth our creativity so we can excel and strive in the way we live and do things
* To learn to take care of one another, our families, our community and our world
* To learn to share our ideas, creativity, time and collaboration, putting cooperation above competition
* To celebrate our time together and enjoy
* To love deeply and listen to one another
* To seek to promote creativity, harmony and a caring community within our diversity
