(Don't understand what we mean by that statement? Come check us out and you'll discover the true meaning!) We believe in physical strength, but also the inner strength of great women. We believe in a caring and nurturing community, where all women are free to be themselves - safe to admit their weaknesses, s …

"Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there" - Gary Snyder Don't let the weeds take over our mountain! Not only are they ugly and prickly, but they're also changing our mountain: more weeds = less wildflower + more fires. The vast majority of the mountain is in good shape but the nasties are starting to take hold and move around. Let's stop them before they really get going.
