• Feel empowered by learning with social justice advocates of all experience levels.

Program components include:

• Visits to sacred spaces throughout the Philadelphia region
• Panel discussions featuring diverse leaders from faith communities
• Small group dialogues with fellow participants
• Opportunities to connect with women to dialogue on important topics facing women today

All women are welcome, regardless of religious affiliation or congregational membership.
