What We Offer

Empower Women NZ offers women in NZ opportunities to access various courses and activities related to Woman Within training, until such time as a Woman Within Training Weekend is offered in NZ.

One primary activity of the Empower Women NZ Focus Group is to establish and introduce interested women to Empowerment Circles (E-Circles.)  In 2003 the first 8-week E-Circle course was run in Auckland.  Since then 5 more E-Circle courses have been run, with the last 4 using a Weekend Intensive format.

Activities we are involved with:

Empowerment Circle Weekend Intensives (E-Circle Intensives)

-

Open Empowerment Circles

where new women can experience what it is like to meet in an E-Circle with other women on a regular basis - please see Empowerment Circles for more information or contact us directly for the areas where E-Circles are currently running.

Celebration Circle gatherings and events
