WELCOME!
And, who might these Goddesses be???
The Grand Goddess exists to support women in their desire to live authentically and develop themselves fully. Our community offers experiences to explore and expand all aspects of personal and professional life for those who desire to do so. Through connections with other women, we have created a culture of safety and belonging where acceptance of each other and ourselves promotes self-appreciation.
Our community is inclusive and diverse. Those who find us express that comfort and appreciation of womanhood are primary to the GG experience. We strive to offer services that support women in their personal and professional lives through classes, coaching/counseling, support and encouragement.
Gifts of the Goddess: The Online Magazine of The Grand Goddess
The GG is launching an ezine in September 06! The ezine titled 'Gifts of the Goddess' will feature writers from the local area, as well some from other locations.
Gifts of the Goddess will challenge females of all ages to define and embrace their own goddessness. Our purpose is to explore the truth in the words of Nelson Mandela who said "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
. . . playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are born to manifest the Glory of God(dess) that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give to other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Our mission is to find ways for females of all ages to realize and accept their goddessness; to raise and mentor girls who know their worth and see it continue to grow from childhood through the twilight years; to celebrate the transitions that move us through the cycle of life with rites of passage; and to share our new found freedom and power with other women so that they may experience their own divinity.

Although some promotions of The Grand Goddess have focused on weight and weight control, we want to right that misconception. The GG is for everyone and the focus is on taking care of our minds, bodies and souls! Our belief is that all women can benefit from good self care, and those who have issues with their weight are included in that group.
