self-worth and an empowering

self-worth and an empowering

There was a freedom in being with each other a rediscovery of self-worth and an empowering, non competitive participation. For academicians working usually within the structured boundaries of classroom and intellectual platforms—the workshop came as a cathartic release followed by rejuvenation of confidence on our own abilities and mutual respect and trust in the group. In practice it resembled the ritualistic group communions of women?s communities and to me, carried with it the cadenza of as many untold her stories as there were participants. I had never before felt such identification with a group or so empowered in being with other women.
