What Is WLI?

Current Schedule

Enroll

WLI is an experience-based certificate program that enables participants to develop and strengthen leadership skills while exploring a feminist perspective in religion and society.  Led by Professor Miriam Therese Winter, WLI meets once a month from September through May. In seminars that take place onMT 2018 headshot Saturday morning and afternoon, participants hone leadership skills rooted in a feminist perspective that is justice-based, globally oriented, attentive to diversity, and ritually expressed.  The outcome is an embodied spirituality grounded in the very real world of our personal and public lives.

Core to the program is a guided analysis of content relative to current realities, personal and group reflection on experience, informative and evocative reading, deepening a sense of community, and integrating rituals and prayer.

Essential elements of the program are:

• completion of the eight monthly seminars

• small group participation and application

• a cross-cultural immersion experience

• a project in leadership
