Powerful Communities Where Women Thrive

We believe women hold the key to connection – through gatherings, celebrations, support, and learning together.

We are a small, women-founded, women-run, and women-led nonprofit focused on building community for women. Our headquarters is located on beautiful Vashon Island in Washington State, but we serve and welcome women all over the world.

Our Mission: Women Hold the Key creates powerful communities where women thrive.

Our Vision: We believe women hold the key to connection, turning potential into power. Women unlock confidence, resilience and solidarity to create lasting change by coming together in joyful, courageous spaces.

Our Values: Compassion, connection, courage, respect, resilience, intergenerationality, joy, laughter, fun, and honoring the Goddess in us all!

Our commitment to supporting women includes non-binary and trans folks who are comfortable in women’s spaces.
