Who is the Renaissance Woman ?
The Renaissance Woman is an Agent of Change
She is authentic, empowered, liberated & compassionate
She is the divine feminine personified.
“To Honour Her, is to Honour Thyself”
~
Avril Bastiansz – The Renaissance Woman
I love this quote below by Dr. Kavitha Ramdas, Women’s Rights Activist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavita_Ramdas), which I think captures the essence of The Renaissance Woman.
"We need women who are so strong they can be gentle,
so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate,
so passionate they can be rational and so disciplined they can be free"
I created the Renaissance Woman’s Circle to help empower women and to regenerate the Divine Feminine Power (Shakti) in the world.
Shakti (Sanskrit) is the Divine Feminine Power. She is the feminine principle energy inherent in all of us; man, woman and child. The other principle form of energy being the masculine. This feminine, Goddess energy, has long been supressed and seeks to be liberated, regenerated and creatively expressed for us to bring about balance and equity in the world. This is what we, especially us women are being called for in these times in our world to be ‘Agents of Change’.
“My goal is to support women to discover their authentic Self & life purpose. To help develop their unique gifts to create a healthy, happy life which contributes not only to their own, personal wellbeing but also making a difference to their relationships, families & communities, and serving to make the world a better place for all. I believe that women have a special role in the world today, a calling to be these ’Agents of Change’
