    The Story of Laila Lutf Al-Thawr

    Laila Lutf Al Thawr, Mother of detainees, mother of Yemen. A Woman on the Path to Peace is unstoppable because she knows humans can help humans. She comes from care for others.  Although she can't stay safe in one place for a long time, she saves the lives of others because she feels it’s her task. Her drive is her imagination to be in the shoes of people suffering from injustice, being missed by their beloved ones, taken into prison.  She contributed to the release of 1,000 prisoners, including her mediation in Yemen's first and largest prisoner exchange on 17/12/2015. Als she was leading - a follow-up and released more than 100 children and women and men in prison. Her CV is impressive and only covering a crumb of her impact.  - Assistant Secretary-General, Head of the Political Bureau and Relations of the Arab Hope party previously known as  (Arab Spring Party). - Deputy Political Affairs and Relations of the President of the Supreme Council for Coordination of Parties and Supreme Revolutionary Forces and civil society organizations. - Head manager of  Sam for peace and human rights initiative.  - An activist in the areas of peace, negotiation, conflict resolution and kidnapping.   - A gender and communication trainer.   She has only one question: let my voice be heard so I will be seen and save more people. While globally visible, it is harder to silence me.    Dear Laila, we take that step now! https://twitter.com/LailaLutf?s=08 https://www.facebook.com/laylaalthaour https://www.facebook.com/laila.lutf https://www.linkedin.com/in/laila-al-thawr-103a6989

    The Story of Karen Downes

    Back in March 2020, at the beginning of lockdown, a life-altering questioning began to bother Karen. ‘who would I be if I wasn’t me?’ By September, she decided to follow her intuition, she packed up her belongings, rented her flat and moved to Costa Rica, to work with a major re-generation project and at the same time launched the FemmeQ retreat event. The future was calling her.  Bringing together her entrepreneurial skills, systems transformation training and on the ground experience in working with social change organisations, she is committed to transforming the old systems that no longer serve us or our planet.   For the past four decades, Karen has worked with global business leaders to achieve breakthrough results and designed and led culture change and development programmes worldwide. Starting her career as a trained healer and practitioner, she has translated spiritual practices, healing principles, and systemic change into everyday life and business.  Her methodology bridges the divide between spirituality and commercial reality, a wholistic approach to developing more conscious and compassionate leaders through her programmes and retreats. Her hands-on experience of building a business in alternative health care, from kitchen table-top to a multi-million dollar enterprise, afforded her the credentials of an MBA. She is the founder of The Flourish Initiative www.theflourishinitiative.com, a consulting and advisory service on how to build a flourishing enterprise from the inside out.  She is the founder of The Flourish Initiative - consultancy  | co-founder of FemmeQ: Feminine Intelligence www.femmeq.org  and a core member of Bounce Beyond www.bouncebeyond.global  Her commitment is to catalyse the necessary shift from the current system of domination to partnership, to re-awaken and integrate the feminine principles into our human psyche, to create a flourishing future for all. She is currently developing a FemmeQ: Feminine Intelligence for a Regenerative Future retreat in Nosara, Costa Rica - July 24th - 31st.
