On the latest episode, I'm joined by Sande Hart, a mother, grandmother and founder of The Global Woman's Village woman's organization, formally known as S.A.R.A.H. (The Spiritual and Religious Alliance for Hope) now in its 23rd year. She is also the Author of The Liminal Odyssey, The Alchemical Power of The Spaces In-Between, (also a Nautilus Book Awardee)

Sande is actively engaged in leadership in the peace, compassion, community building, and women’s re- and in-powerment sectors. Her most recent work is in service to the role of women in this evolutionary impulse we are in during these transitional times. She served on the Women's Task Force for The Parliament of The World's Religions and developed and produced the first-ever Women's Village at the 2023 international conference. She founded and served as Director for the international organization The Charter For Compassion’s Women and Girls sector as creator and director of the 9th sector of the international organization focused on compassion. And she is the Founder of Compassionate California, which recently became established into law by the governor’s office as the first Compassionate State in the world.

During our conversation, we explore:

• Sande's multi-decade journey toward recognizing the presence of the Sacred Feminine in her life, including the flickers of Her presence along the way
• How Sande came to fully recognize Her through her work shepherding the Women's Village at the Parliament of the World's Religions.
• The evolution of her non-profit organization S.A.R.A.H., including her more recent focus on "women who future," and what this language means to her
• The powerful message that she received while visiting Auschwitz, which brought us both to tears during the culmination of this inspiring episode
