We are at an important inflection point in global society. The rules and behaviors that got us here will not take us forward. This is the time for women, and especially women of color, to take our newly cleared seats and write our legacy about what comes next. In order to do so, we need to look at power in new and innovative ways - ways that pull from ancient wisdom and the feminine divine. In this Masterclass, Deepa will challenge us to share our definitions of power and explore how the idea varies in contexts across the globe. She will push the group to develop one forward definition that may work for all of us.
