Celebrating 10+ Years of Womenspirit!

WomenSpirit is an ecumenical collaboration of Twin Cities organizations sponsoring events that explore and reflect women's spirituality. We seek to promote interconnectedness between people of all races, cultures and religions. Called to a collaborative form of leadership, we rely mostly on volunteers. Our programs over the past ten years have included authors, poets, liturgical dancers, biblical scholars, teachers, spiritual directors, historians, pastors, rabbis and laywomen.
