For decades, Gloria Steinem has been on a journey to create personal and social change, urging women to tap into their inner strength. Our revolution begins within, and when we come together with other women to encourage, listen, share and connect, we ignite true change—in ourselves and each other.
“We need to make alternate families of small groups of women who support each other, talk to each other regularly, can speak their truths and their experiences and find they’re not alone in them,” says Gloria.
For the launch of our Women Together Spring Series, we are especially excited to welcome Gloria, along with movement builder and storyteller, Jamia Wilson. We invite you to participate in this extraordinary daylong event either online via our specially designed live-stream experience or in person at the Eileen Fisher Learning Lab in Irvington, NY.
Let’s create the change we want to see in the world. Together.
Our unique live-stream platform lets you feel immersed in the full-day event as you participate with the larger community of online participants. Whether you’re joining solo or with a group of friends, you’ll be connected to the day’s activities, including live Q&A and small-group breakouts.
To learn more about Women Together Live! visit our dedicated page.
Each event in the Women Together Series features these three elements. Whether you join in person or online you will have opportunities to connect with other participants, learn and try new practices that support the day’s experience and spend time moving.

This morning was so amazing and inspiring. Energizing. Thank you so much for this series. Looking forward to attending one in person someday!
It is so important, as technology advances – more and more and more with AI, Social Media, Robotics that we top and be authentically who we are and in communication and relation with each other as part of being “human”.
Hi, my name is Lisa and I live in NYC. I am a life coach for women over 50 so I hope there are women my age at this event. I am attending live! I just returned from a retreat from IPEC, (Institute for the Excellence of Coaching) this past weekend at the Garrison Institute therefore, my mind is open and ready for more! I look forward to meeting everyone!
Thank you. Feminine leadership is emerging fast and is so needed in this world. When we unite, magic happens. It’s unfortunate society likes us to divide and stay small… no longer! Thank you to all the women who have gone before me to give me opportunities.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I’m Cindie *Ogata* Byers, M.Ed. and my inner voice was shouting so loud that I had to change my whole life. Thank you for the leadership in Woman Power! I’m this kind of woman, trying to always “big people up” because life is so demeaning to many of us. I’ve had my share of women trying to hold me back or bring me down from striving. Women who bring down other women are not my kind of friend. I am beautiful, I am a breath of fresh air, and I am broken. It has only been from the relationships with strong solid women who have nurtured me outside of my family that I have survived and thrived. And there is something in the bonds of women who raise each other up that is magical — rather than those . . . . who bring people down. I’m fearful for my 16-year-old daughter who is facing a much harsher world at the hands of mean-mom’s, mean-girls, and what she perceives a very scary world. I look to lead people, and I look to you to help me know how best to model that sharing. Thank you for being a “bright spot” and leading and mentoring and sharing. Thank you for your consciousness, thank you for your collectiveness, and thank you for making this accessible online! EILEEN FISHER . . . you rock! Warmest aloha, CindieEcoVentures.com
This looks powerful!
I too am ecstatic about the “revving up” of women again. I have been a avid soldier of fighting for women’s issues and equal rights for all since the 60’s. I’m super hyper-excited about the amount of younger persons who are determined to fight and win! I will not be able to attend the gathering on April 5th nor be near a computer. Will I be able to listen to it at a later date? Thanks to all women of great diversity for being the group who always come together for the betterment of ourselves and we extend it to all.
Hi Sharon: Yes, all who register for the live-stream will receive the access code for the replay videos (ready within a week of the live event).
This kind of connection absolutely saved me in the 70’s.
Am looking forward to participating.
This sounds wonderful and I would love to participate in the streaming. I will be flying that day and would like to know if I can listen to a recording later in the day. Please advise.
Hi Connie: Yes, the registration fee for the live-stream includes access to the replay videos. The videos will be ready within a week of the event.
I feel the kindred spirit! I am a fellow #InnerImageRevolutionary !
Empowering!
I am looking forward to participating with this opportunity on line. I have admired Gloria Steinem for decades. In my old age I have become isolated. Most of my close people have died. My work with the women’s movement has been a central core part of my life. Interacting with others who share this value will be a gift.
Thank you for the work you did that helped all of us, women of younger generations. I hope the session helps you feel more connected. “See you” at the event 🙂
My sister introduced me to Eileen last year when she (my sister) was going through her cancer journey. We spent several weeks together healing our relationship, listening to podcasts and just loving each other. She sadly passed last month on February 5 and I am just returning home after helping her daughter and son clean out her home in Alberta, Canada. I have been seeking an answer as to what my new journey/chapter is supposed to include. I know she would be pleased that I found this session to tap into the universe of wonderful, strong, inspiring women to help guide my path. I look forward to learning from you all!!
I’ve needed a big sister all my life; feels like I walked into a room filled with ’em.
I’m happy to have found your group. Thank you!
I am avhuge fan of Eileen Fisher. Simple and elegant.
Janet

Dear Janet, I just turned 61… you saying your age inspires me to take a look at this program offered. I love my women friends and know they have been my backbone. Thank you! Alma B.
Blessing!
This is a really exciting idea, I would like to bring some women from our community together to watch this together. I have worked as a feminist in the anti-violence movement for three decades and know that the only way to see change is to work collaboratively and with heart,
Looking forward to the events. Thank you
Mrs. Eileen thank you for the work you are doing. I follow as close as I can, from a corner of México. Wish I could be there, wonderful group of women!
Hi. I am a retired bilingual school social worker who is working again..and believe in the power of storytelling! Hope to be part of this event..
Sorry to miss this event. Wonderful options scheduled.
Love love love Glo!! I just became the Founder of The Diversity Center of Seattle Washington and would love to come for the inspiration. I have a picture with Gloria Steinem that I cherish!
I am a pioneer
Not a fan of Gloria.
If you read her recent biography, I bet you will change your mind; there were so many things I had not known about her. She is amazing!
She has done more for the women’s movement than almost anyone. Why would you not be a fan?
why post something negative?
I am looking forward to April 15! Thank you.
What a wonderful event you have planned
Looking forward to joining on line
I am so excited about this event! Thanks!
