Women Howling at the Moon is an inspiring community of down to earth women from diverse walks of life and age groups who enjoy connecting authentically with other women to share deep diving conversation on things that matter while having a fabulous time together.
We share a passion for contributing to a life and a world that works for everyone and the planet, particularly around dimensions such as peace, social justice and the environment - and in being all that WE can be to have that happen.
Each month we focus on a particular topic that will make a difference for our lives and further afield. Topics we have addressed during 2016 included honouring self, stepping into our courage, the art of saying NO, boundaries, befriending your inner critic and claiming our greatness, amongst many others.

November: a glimpse
In November, Chris Henderson led the group in considering the topic of procrastination.
While procrastination as a focus might at first sound heavy (as in, generally for many of our LEAST favourite topic) - this time it was the opposite!! The experience was that of an enjoyable and even liberating exploration with heaps of laughter, relief even! - and LOTS of AHAs that women took away to create the results they want in their own lives.

Some of the discussion has been recorded in a recent blog post, "Who'd have thought a conversation about procrastination could be so good').

Big thanks to the Howling partipants who were filmed: Deb Graham, Therese Flynn-Clarke (fibre artist and teacher), Natasha Alexander (psychologist) and Denise Bolland (artist).
Also special thanks to Howler, film producer and online media strategist Wendy Rogers for suggesting it's time to share this work with the world, and for creating the first video vignette of a monthly gathering. Neat!

What participants have to say
Feedback about the Women Howling experience and results for individual women is consistently and powerfully positive.

Melina's story
Melina, an accomplished designer, happened across Women Howling through social media a couple of weeks ago and decided to check out the November gathering. Just one evening has shown her this is the community she has hoped to find. Now? 'Can't wait for the next howl'.

Margot's story
Margot, a health industry senior manager, attends Women Howling anytime she can between travelling for her job and travelling for pleasure. Recently back from Mexico, Margot sent this note out of the blue about her new position and the contribution that being part of this sisterhood has and is continuing to make in her life.
If you sense this could be a community for you, we extend an invitation to join us for the final Women Howling at the Moon gathering of the year.
