We are living in a profound moment in human history, when more and more women are awakening to their full potential, committed to co-creating a much more conscious world, to live and lead with heart and wisdom.

It’s a time of great evolutionary shift, what Joanna Macy calls, the Great Turning, a time when the reconciliation with the Feminine is necessary to bring about the transformation the world needs, to call forth a heart-centered wisdom, innate in all of us, an emergent consciousness, centered on wholeness and oneness.

Larry Monteith, professional photographer, is the quiet friendly presence at the back of the room at almost every Sophia Institute event, ensconced behind microphones and video equipment. Larry is a most devoted volunteer. “To me this is like tithing,” he explains. “I’d love to be one of those people who hand out $100,000 checks, but I can’t, so I do things that need to be done. Sophia brings a wonderful variety of teachers who touch on the major issues of our time – war, environment, hunger, and the need for changing the human heart.
