Terms of Endearment
The Women’s Village
As a Women’s Village community, we want all women to feel safe, valued, included and supported. A place where our hearts are open, filled with love, joy and curiosity.
We believe this is possible when we all see ourselves as both the giver and the receiver. It is in this glorious exchange that the true magic happens.
Having a clear set of Principles allows everyone to align and agree to the core foundations for The Women’s Village, and provides a code of practice that builds and strengthens connection, support and emotional safety.
If you align with these terms, we welcome you with open arms.
