Step Into Connection. Step Into Courage. Step Into Visionary Women.

In a world that can feel divided and uncertain, what if you could gather with a circle of curious, compassionate women—and experience something profoundly different?

Visionary Women is not just a program. It’s an intergenerational experience in the Greater Philadelphia area, exploring the powerful intersections of faith, gender, race, and social justice—all while building relationships that matter.

Over five months, you’ll step inside sacred spaces, hear stories that expand your perspective, and engage in real conversations that invite both vulnerability and courage. Whether or not you are religiously affiliated, we just ask that you bring your open heart and a willingness to listen and share.

What you’ll experience:

• Visit five vibrant religious settings—from historic churches to Indigenous gathering spaces.
• Deepen your understanding of how faith, gender and race shape traditions and community life.
• Discover fresh insights about your own identity, values, and calling.
• Be empowered alongside community leaders of all ages and experience levels.

Session Flow:

• Welcome to the sacred space or gathering place
• Paired conversations
• A panel of faith leaders and community voices
• Small-group dialogue to process and connect
• Closing reflections
