Sisters of the Valley

A global, ecofeminist ministry, serving the people and the planet.

We know that in the ashes of the old world, the survivors are not going to stand up, brush themselves off, and say ‘that was fun, let’s do it again! Who wants to be the next patriarchal leader?’ 

No, in the aftermath of two thousand years of organized wars and war machines sucking societies dry, no one is going to say that.  They are more likely to stand up, dust themselves off, and turn to the women for leadership.

Indigenous communities around the world have long embraced matrilineal and matriarchal systems. Many still do. There are female-dominated sects, but few are given the status of being able to take tax-deductible donations and few operate beyond a local area.

What Differentiates Us:

1. Sacred Vows and Practices Codified (Book of the New Beguines) 

2. A model for community living; a consistent global uniform representing devotion and modesty. 

3. A decade of practices, readings, prayers and chants, as the belief system has been codified and sharpened, consisting of a  blend of activism, ecology, feminism, and sacred service, formalized and accessible. 

4. A resurrection of pre-Christian, Earth-based Beguine values, tied to daily life and commerce 

5. Functioning, licensed, woman-run enclaves producing plant medicine and offering spiritual guidance and more importantly

6. Living by example with purpose-driven lives and rules that promote harmony, while sharing and teaching the communities that stand to benefit from the communal lifestyle created.

7. Established as a (501c3) (donations, tax-deductible) ministry (registration in process)
