FemmeQ: A Decade of Awakening. A Time for Pause. -

Dearest friends, contributors and companions on the FemmeQ journey,    Ten years ago, four of us set out on what felt like both a radical act and a necessary response — to restore the vital power of the feminine in a world shaped for too long by an unbalanced masculine. As you know we called thi...

🪷🌹🪷 In Celebration of the Feminine- Community Call

As we acknowledge and celebrate International Women’s Day around the world, I am taking this time to reflect on my own and the collective journey that has brought us to where we are. In recent times, we have all witnessed both setbacks and triumphs—reminders that progress is never linear nor can be taken for granted. It has taken years of unwavering determination, devotion and courage of so many who have been willing to take risks to pave the way for all of us. Now, more than ever, with our feminine intelligence, guided by our intuition and inner compass we will need to stand together in solidarity, to celebrate the feminine and honour the work of women around the world.

I know as you do, that true transformation requires a shift in consciousness, collective commitment, and a shared vision to uplift and rise together. Each action, each voice, each moment of courage contributes to the greater change we wish to see in the world.

For me, this day is a call to action and reminder of the need to come together in unity and with purpose. I celebrate and honour those who have paved the way, and those who continue to push boundaries, and carry the torch that takes us forward. Together, we embody the resilience, wisdom, and power of the feminine, to create a flourishing future for all. The time is now to rise, to support one another, and to keep moving forward in the spirit of what is possible to shape the future

Please join me for our monthly community call on March 12th to celebrate the feminine and begin to resource ourselves for the time ahead. Our call will be one hour earlier this month. See below.

When: March 12th at 5-6.30pm GMT. 6-7.30pm CET. 9-10.30am PST.
Your host: Karen Downes

Since the inception of FemmeQ in 2016, we have touched the lives of over 3 million people through our International Summits in 5 countries, in-person workshops, online events, training programmes, inspiring films and mini-documentaries.

Our multifaceted approach has led to profound impact, empowering and resourcing change agents, fostering collaboration across diverse sectors, and igniting the creation of hundreds of new enterprises and community projects.

The essential qualities of the feminine aspect of our human nature have been marginalised for centuries and relegated to the personal and private spaces of our lives. Leaders now recognise these qualities as critical in facing an uncertain future. We need a paradigm shift in leadership to create a flourishing future.

True and enduring transformation begins with inner work to shift mindset, beliefs and societal norms that keep the status quo in place. By integrating feminine intelligence in all that we do, we are creating a new story that takes us from despair and fear toward hope, love, and possibility.

The world will look very different when the feminine is fully integrated with the masculine.

𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, as a virtue, is the practice of giving our love and energy to what matters most to us. It’s a vibrant force that flows through us, inspiring us to live with deep care and a sense of service.

Virtues, like seeds of the soul, require conscious cultivation to fully flourish. They are our deepest values brought to life—manifesting in our thoughts, behaviours, and decisions. When we align with these highest attributes, virtues become the most tangible expression of our character, enabling us to act with purpose and integrity.

This is the transformative inner work of self-discovery, where we nurture the virtues within to become the very best version of ourselves.
