This month, the largest retreat center in the nation hosted its inaugural Women’s Week.
During a moment in history that can feel dark and full of despair, how do we move forward? What can give us hope, enough hope to inspire revolution? The Revolution Within came from the idea that while equality, peace, and justice require outer work, they also require a commitment to inner work. In true yoga fashion, the week aimed to prove what can be accomplished through community, connection to others, and connection to oneself.
I had the privilege to discuss this more with Kripalu’s CEO of four years, Barbara Vacarr. Here’s what she had to say.What inspired you to host a women’s week? This is an aspiration that’s lived here for a long time. So many people have wanted to do this and were involved in making this happen. We are living at a pivotal moment for women in our country – women’s voices are being heard and this was an opportunity for us to push that paradigm. The goal here was to strengthen women’s voices. In community, that happens.
