Inspiring hope through women rising from pain to power to purpose

In this time of unprecedented chaos and heightened challenges to the wellbeing of humanity, the earth and all its creatures, our mission is to embolden women to believe in their innate worth and grow as leaders in their own lives and communities.

We Believe

We believe this will fuel a rise in feminine power and affect crucial change for humanity and the earth. 

We Envision

We envision a world where one by one women are freed from the grip of past and current trauma. This serves as an evolutionary catalyst for women to find agency to become their highest selves and offer their unique contribution to the whole. Their contribution is matched to the world’s greatest need that they alone are seeded to give.

How We Realize our Vision

One by one, we see Fire to Gold as an evolutionary catalyst for us as women to reclaim our power and foster individual and collective healing for past, present and future generations. We invite you to be part of a w(holistic) arts centered community healing initiative through:

  • Interactive art installations for, with and about women rising that are both reality checks and signs of hope

  • Women’s circles as a sacred container for you and the women you gather with or serve  to renew, transform and reclaim your power

  • Women Rising blog offering inspiration and resources to guide you on your transformational journey

  • Community partnerships that amplify each others impact to embolden women as leaders in their own lives and communities

We draw upon the ancient wisdom of these practices, combined with emergent techniques and trauma-informed approaches.

In Production

Fire to Gold’s Interactive Photo Exhibition & Women’s Circles project is in production!  

Get ready to be inspired by the resilience and power of women. The exhibit features portraits and stories of Twin Cities women from global backgrounds who have transformed pain into power into purpose. Accompanying Women’s circles offer the opportunity to participate in purposeful, brave conversations, experience the power of being seen, felt, heard and learn emergent self-care practices and transformational tools in a safe and sacred community space.

Take a look behind the scenes, follow along as the project unfolds, explore partnership opportunities and be the first to know about upcoming exhibits and circles.
