"By learning more about who you are, you become the heroine of your own life, and can create positive change in the world" ~Linda Joy Myers
As a global community it feels like we're at a tipping point, the conditions of our planet could go either way depending on our actions. As a society of women, however it feels like we're on the verge of new possibilities. The dramatic shift that is necessary will require women to stand up along-side our brothers and lead the way towards a healthier future.
We can't think of a better time than now for women to collaborate and come together at an event like Passion Into Action.

Studies show that in times of stress women tend to gather together to share, communicate and connect. Men on the other hand tend to isolate themselves; figuring out a way to solve the problem on their own or fight it out. As we face current challenges it's no surprise that women are flocking to events like The Women's Conference, Gather the Women, TEDxGrass Valley and Passion Into Action. We refer to this phenomena as the "Water Cooler Revolution". Rather than gather in the kitchen at home or around a water cooler at work women are revolutionizing leadership and forming together in large numbers at meaningful events in order to find their purpose, identify role models and create solutions to a better world.

It seems there are several components necessary to facilitate the change that is needed. First, women need to come together. Second, as individuals we each need to do our part. And third, we need to figure out what that part is. We created Passion Into Action to address all of these issues; connecting with our community of women, discovering our passion and acquiring the tools to do so, and most important taking our passion and activating it into action with the support of others. Figuring out our purpose, our calling for the greater good and essentially what makes up happy is key to leading a collective force of positive change.
Passion Into Action is the ideal space to explore what moves you. We are thrilled to feature three extraordinary women who will provide techniques, exercises, stories and tools to define your passion.

Author, Patt Lind-Kyle returns to the 2nd Annual Passion Into Action Conference! Patt's workshop in the Defining You track is designed to help remove mental barriers, deal with impossibilities and tap into your passion. Her work is driven from an interest in research of inner development and optimal performance and will apply techniques from her award winning book Heal Your Mind, Rewire Your Brain: Applying the Exciting New Science of Brain Synchrony for Creativity, Peace and Presence.
Patt says the biggest take-away from her workshop, Tapping Into Your Passion is "for individuals to understand and know how to change their mind and literally rewire their brains and alter their DNA by using some very reliable tools that will open them up to a new level of freedom in their lives."

The power of story has the ability to transfer cultural beliefs from one generation to the next. These tales might carry sorrow, hope, joy, or strength. A story might shift our way of being in the world and reflect the path recently walked on. The power of the story reminds us that as the author, we must question how our personal story serves us and how our story will benefit those of the future?

Knowing that each step your ancestors have taken have brought you to this moment-where you are empowered-weaves the past and present into a colorful tapestry that helps inspire the world."
