Empowerment Groups and Study Circles

At this critical time in history, the Grandmothers have come, offering us the experience of truth, peace and hope. Their message, empowerment and cloak of comfort are meant for everyone; the Grandmothers are throwing us a lifeline -- a lifeline we can share.

Women all over the world have formed groups to share the Grandmothers' wisdom and pass on their empowerment. There are over 150 groups in the following locations. Information about beginning a Grandmothers group is available.
