Influenced by ancient ritual, the Grandmothers gather in a circle, pass a talking piece from person to person and speak deeply from the heart. The result of this simple, but profound practice is a strong bond built around intentional speaking and attentive listening. 

The circle represents the eternal, with no beginning or ending. The influence of the circle is boundless, however, the center remains intact. Individually, the Grandmothers are celebrated for their wisdom and leadership. Collectively, their passion has the power to change the world.
