Do you need a feminist oasis?
*
We organize to cultivate feminist community and explore feminist values in action. (More about our mission and values here.)
If you are interested in exploring feminism and working towards systemic justice, please become a member or join us for an upcoming event.
What we do
We organize to cultivate feminist community
That means we organize pop-up events that bring people (of all genders) together in a feminist environment. We set the tone with selections of our Feminist Oasis Library available for browsing (members get borrowing privileges) and welcome interaction and feedback through things like our conversation sticky note walls.
We usually have an educational element — either learning about a historical feminist leader, getting to know our community members and organizations or specifically discussing a feminist theory concept — and we ALWAYS have fun.
We lift each other up and strive to create opportunities to authentically connect, build resilience and sustain each other beyond a single event through memberships and ongoing events series.
We explore feminist values in action
An exploration of feminist values in action drives our workshops, which provide feminist education and focus on feminist approaches to business, activism, higher education and local government.
Our feminism goes beyond “women in leadership” and is rooted in a common commitment to equality and justice for the benefit of all.
We explore more sustainable models of business and activism, including: trade economies, ethical sourcing, body-loving work practices, ecovillage practices, social responsibility, community-supported organizing, nature-informed principles, community agreements and equitable policies.
We also offer intersectional feminist audits and advising for businesses, organizations and anyone interested in improving their messaging, representation or practices from a feminist perspective.
