Every month, Conscious Woman highlights the thoughts, activities and/or extraordinary accomplishments of a conscious woman somewhere in the world.
Our Executive Director, Raquel Lazar-Paley, is currently on maternity leave from live, online workshops. However, nearly 40 previously recorded programs will be made available for 24/7 viewing by mid-January. If you wish to view one of our archives immediately, email us at info@consciouswoman.org with your program selection, telephone number and best time to call (including your location), to arrange for payment by phone. We will then email you instructions for accessing the archive of your choice.
Welcome to Conscious Woman!
We stand now where two roads diverge. But they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road-the one "less traveled by"-offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth. ~ Rachel Carson
We are delighted to offer an exciting array of interactive, online workshops on topics that are either not readily available to or generally contemplated by the majority of the population. Nearly all of our presenters are nationally and/or world renowned in their areas of expertise; we are excited by the possibilities that the virtual classroom environment can bring in connecting people of varying interests and passions, and in challenging our perceptions of some highly controversial subjects. The focus of our first year will be on programs and resources for the childbearing years, from birth and breastfeeding to postpartum healing and choices that we make regarding the health and well-being of our children. We are currently developing a series of workshops on environmental issues and other health-related programs that will appeal to all women, and will continue to update you on our developments through our Director's blog and emails to those who join our mailing list.
As you will see, many of our online workshops will provide continuing education credits for various professionals, although nearly all are intended for general audiences. Our growing array of online forums will provide ample opportunity to further explore the issues presented and to connect you with fellow workshop participants and a community of enlightened individuals. Conscious action in promoting our welfare and the welfare of our families is an underlying theme to most of our programming, and at the heart of the rest.
In addition to participating in our online workshops and forums, we encourage you to read about the extraordinary women highlighted each month - women whose thoughts, actions and accomplishments will hopefully inspire and motivate you to take more action in positive, productive ways. Not heroines, but rather friends and guides in the world of the Conscious Woman. And don't leave before exploring our resources page with links to terrific websites and for checking out the stuff that isn't typically found on bookstore shelves!
We look forward to growing with you.
Raquel Lazar-Paley, Esq.
