(Women. Wisdom. Wellness.)

W3 (Women. Wisdom. Wellness.) is a women’s group built around the need for real connection and shared wisdom. The group’s mission is to empower women to cultivate new visions, find and refine purpose, strengthen resilience and thrive during times of change. We meet as women with shared compassion, creativity, & wisdom to have honest conversations, be seen and heard, and support each other through life as it actually is. Women are invited to share their unique and deeply seated wisdom in a safe space.

Led by Pamela Norton, a coach and Svandis Geirsdottir, a therapist, W3 creates a grounded, welcoming environment where you can show up as yourself, connect with others and feel supported in the process.

TESTIMONIALS

“I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in W3. Pamela has created a safe and nurturing space to identify what I truly want out of my "next chapter." Each gathering brings new insight and clarity. Feedback from the other women (who are incredibly impressive!) in the group has provided perspectives that I cherish and that have had a direct and positive influence on my personal growth.”-Karolyn S.

“I feel enriched after six months of monthly discussion through the W3 Women Wisdom Wellness program. Pamela and Svandis did a wonderful job making each of us feel hugged and heard as we discussed meaningful topics such as where we come from, how to love ourselves through self-compassion, and guidelines for navigating transition. I was grateful for the heartfelt conversation shared by this interesting group of women and left each session feeling inspired, optimistic and more aware of my own strength.”-Mary Ann R.

“W3 has been a gift to me in this season of life. Pamela and Svandis are wonderful facilitators, each bringing a distinct way of thinking through life's many issues. I had not realized how much I needed this space and time focus on myself and my needs. Also, connecting with other women and sharing our experiences and wisdom has been so valuable to me. I would highly recommend W3 to any woman who is drawn to it!” -Susan D.
