Full Bio/Veta
Sande Hart is a mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. She has spent the past twenty-five years committed to the field of women’s leadership, hosting circles and community dialogues, developing innovative programs and initiatives for interfaith and interspiritual community-building, while addressing women’s roles, responsibilities, and privileges in advancing the emerging consciousness on our planet with integrity and authenticity. She is author of the award-winning book The Liminal Odyssey, The Alchemical Power of The Spaces In-Between.
Her work is laser-focused on addressing the seabed of the evolutionary impulse to ensure women are prepared for this unknown place that is calling us, since women have yet to fully claim and contribute our equitable contribution to society in the past five thousand years. Sande understands and has demonstrated in her proof-of-concept work over the past twenty-five years that when women reconcile our stories while organizing and problem-solving in the feminine way, men, all of humanity, and our natural world benefit in a balanced, resilient, and co-create partnership system.
After two years of researching the future of feminine leadership and interviewing nearly one-hundred people across forty-seven sectors, ages thirteen to ninety-four, Sande is completing her next book A Woman Who Futures a New Paradigm, Living and Leading on The Growing Edge. The process of researching and writing this book is representative of the emerging new worldview it advances for cultural transformation. Additional and potent initiatives have emerged from this project with exponential impact.
