The Whole Woman Village is a resource for women and is built on three fundamental principles:
Health - Women should be knowledgeable about their own bodies and should have access to health information independent of the pharmaceutical/medical/government complex. Natural medicine, the use of nature’s bounty, birthing and post-natal care have traditionally been women’s roles. The Whole Woman Village is a place for sharing traditional women’s wisdom as well as the latest in scientific research.
Community - Women are more isolated than ever before. Women have unique social needs and the Whole Woman Village is a place for finding supportive, nurturing relationships, regardless of where you live.
The Living Arts - Women in modern society have lost touch with the traditional living arts which connect them to the earth, their families and their communities. The village supports women in regaining that connection to:
Food - growing, preparing and preserving whether a pot of herbs on a windowsill of an urban apartment or a large organic garden in the back yard. Food is the foundation of life and the center of family and community activities in a healthy society.
Clothing - Making clothing is one of life’s most satisfying activities. Raising fiber plants and animals, spinning, weaving, and sewing are activities that have traditionally brought women together.
Dance - Most common exercise systems today (e.g. Yoga and Pilates) were designed by men for men’s bodies. Traditionally, dance was how women retained their strength, flexibility and grace, and expressed joy through movement.
