  Mary
Noble MA Archaeology/Social Anthropology
Co-Founder of Feminenza
Trained and qualified in social anthropology and archaeology,
Mary's own inner journey over the last 35 years has led her to
make a deep study of the development of women's spirituality throughout
the ages. She soon found that little was known or available concerning
the spiritual paths of women and from this grew a commitment to
working with other women to develop their spiritual awareness alongside
her own. In 1983 she co-founded Woman Alive with Joanna Francis
and later Feminenza was established in 2000.
Currently residing in England, Mary is an international speaker
and seminar leader and has developed many talks including 'The
Trace of Feminine Spirituality' and "The Loving League of
Sisters". These are truly inspiring and bring together some
of the deeper aspects of the lives of women through the centuries.
She believes passionately that we are in a critical time of change
and that the liberation of the feminine soul at this point in history
is essential for the future of life on this planet. Her commitment
to developing a greater mutuality and new working relationship
between men and women to help bring about this next stage of our
evolution is demonstrated in her XX/XY seminars and talks. These
include, "Exploring New Understandings about the XX and XY
Genders" and "Battle of the Sexes or a Vision for a Shared
Future?" She dedicates her time to giving lectures, seminars
and workshops to women, men and school children, travelling across
the globe on behalf of Feminenza.

 Anna
Hannon BA Political Science and Post Grad Social
Administration
Course Facilitator
After studying Politics and Philosophy at graduate level and Welfare
Provision at post-graduate level, Anna worked for 15 years in the
field of welfare and is experienced in many of the social, psychological
and emotional issues affecting people's everyday lives. She focused
on the management, design and provision of housing for elderly
people and has also, through her own family, become highly compassionate
and understanding about many issues concerning the ageing process
and ill health. Her career also led her to be responsible for training
and supervising others in the welfare field. Her awareness of social
injustice and the need to find answers to what could make a difference
in the world, led her to work in France, England and Scotland.
Her thirty-year endeavour has included Anna working with many groups
and individuals in the area she feels deeply about, that of personal
development and its relevance to gender issues, relationships,
community and the global issues of the 21st Century. Along with
her husband of 25 years standing she has written about and run
courses on how to successfully sustain a committed and loving partnership.
Anna's compassionate, thoughtful and thorough approach has greatly
added to establishing Feminenza, and she continues to pioneer new
pathways to provide greater access to feminine personal development.
Many of you will have come into contact with her on the phone,
by letter or on courses as she is the first point of contact for
people getting in touch with Feminenza and is also a Course Facilitator.

 Lucinda
Chapman, Diploma in Theatre Design
Course and Feminenza Facilitator
Lucinda's love for the rich expressions of life led her to spend
ten years working in a variety of different theatres, from rep
to street theatre including running her own prop business. Then
she devoted her time to being a mother and now is a grandmother
of two. She also assisted with her husband's company and now works
for an architectural arbitrator. Recently she has renewed her theatre
skills by attending a teaching course with the Mosaic Academy of
Theatre, which she will be putting to great use on the Feminenza
courses. Lucinda is full of energy, vitality and life and is continually
learning new skills and her young at heart approach inspires everyone
she meets. Over the last 25 years she has been running workshops
and courses and is committed to promoting, discovering and sharing
the work of Feminenza in a practical and theatrical way. She designs
her courses to try and explore and release the spiritual potential
of women today. She is passionate about each human life being able
to connect to and express their core being and is a great advocate
of each person's individuality and uniqueness.
 Linda
Moore BSc Hons in Maths & Computer Science;
PGCE
Feminenza Representative - England
Linda has 30 years of experience in teaching mathematics and computing
at secondary level in schools and also taught special needs for
many years. Over the last 25 years in her spare time she has facilitated
in groups concerning personal and spiritual development and since
2000 has been working to establish Feminenza. She has a passion
about finding ways to help women access the best of themselves
and believes that once the reasons for something are understood,
you can start to change how you think about it. Her workshops on
'Building Confidence' provide a safe, supportive ecology for exploring
one's areas of strength, whilst learning how to manage the areas
of perceived weakness. She has also run workshops on 'Creativity
and Versatility' and this she has put to use in her own life with
contributions to the Feminenza magazine and by using her talent
and flair in computing to produce much of the Feminenza material
used within the courses in England. Also as part of the website
team she is working to realise her dream of giving access to women
across the world the forum to explore, learn and develop. Being
a teacher and having been a volunteer in a women's refuge, at Crisis,
a homeless charity, an animal sanctuary and in NGOs in India, where
she takes children from her school for cross cultural exchanges,
she is aware of much of the poverty and hardship of many people
and living beings in the world. Although the task seems overwhelming,
she draws strength from a saying of Mother Theresa that, 'in this
life we cannot do great things, but we can do small things with
great love'. Linda's own great love is to provide some education
and opportunities for people's personal growth and to extend encouragement
and networking support that she knows are so badly needed.
