Description
Are you someone’s daughter? Are you a Sister, Auntie, Mom or even Granny? Do you long for that sense of self you once had (perhaps when you were twelve?) when you giggled with girlfriends; when you only had to be YOU? Come and be that authentic self again, … In the Company of Women.
Learn something new, re-discover joy, or safely share your grief, embraced in a friendly community of belonging; appreciated for who you are deep down, not the many roles we tend to take on as women; as nurturers, as lovers. However, you identify your sexual orientation (Gay, Bi, Lesbian, or Straight…), no matter whom you love, you are welcome here, …In the Company of Women.
You can look forward to activities such as: drumming, dancing, nature walks, yoga, sharing our stories/building connections to our deeper selves and others, leisure time, “gathering solar rays,” enjoy guest speakers and concerts; music, singing, writing workshops, and the time honored summer camp tradition of arts & crafts! Come explore and/or just BE … In the Company of Women!
The ocean waves, the intimate talks, the smiles and laughter; Ahhhh! Big Sigh. You deserve this! Magic has been known to happen during “Women’s Week.” We can truly express ourselves; and reclaim that Vital Spirit of Empowerment. Oh yes; as one participant said, “it’s like Soul Camp for the Feminine Heart!” Come relax, refresh and renew, … In the Company of Women.
Note: We believe that no woman should be excluded due to lack of funds, so we have set up partial scholarships. There is also the possibility of a shortened stay or commuting for a day or more. In other words, a “no excuses” policy… because you’re worth it! Please apply for scholarships by 7/1/22, here.

Conference Leadership
Coordinators
Eileen Cummings is a newbie to In the Company of Women, but she is excited to be co-coordinating the 2020 conference. After visiting Ferry Beach for a weekend, she fell in love with FB. Eileen is a crazy knitter. She works as manager of information technology for a small trust firm in Boston, MA to pay for her huge yarn stash. She has been seen knitting everywhere- on charity walks, at the symphony and even in a jury box.
Jane Hucks has been coming to Company of women since 2006. The Company of Women was an essential support after she came out. After retiring from public school teaching in 2014, her new life is ever growing with new friendships, connections, service work and volunteering! Jane has lived in Haverhill, MA since 1993. Various callings include: providing accompaniment for immigrant friends; leading yoga; visiting hospice patients; working with community groups for social justice; helping friends and birding/nature travel.
Carolyn Cronin has attended ICOW every year since 2014 when she was thrilled to sing with Carolyn McDade and the women of ICOW. Each subsequent year has had its own magic including the chance to facilitate the Women Loving Women and Queer Women circles. She looks forward to the magic 2021 will bring. Semi-retired, Carolyn loves puzzles so decided to become a tax preparer. If nothing else it will keep her busy in winter. Since moving to Melrose Massachusetts in 2015, she has been active with many local causes, political campaigns, LGBTQ groups, listening circles and church. She walks often with a trash grabber and is saddened by how quickly her trash bag fills up. She enjoys her large extended family, friends, making new friends, being outdoors, reading, live music, theatre and eating local food.
