What does ‘full force feminine power’ mean to us?

  • Creating a feminine economy where women build businesses and wealth, giving them freedom of choice and independence
  • An inspired and fully expressed community of women living unapologetically with zero fucks for external judgement or expectation
  • Empowering women to envision and design a life that is uniquely their own and which showcases their individual talent and brilliance.
  • Encouraging women to prioritise their own physical, sexual, spiritual, emotional and mental wants and desires

OUR FOUR PILLARS

We believe there are four pillars crucial to a modern and progressive
woman living in her full force feminine power:
