Hi, we’re Dana and Nahal, the faces behind Women’s Climate Commons. We created Women’s Climate Commons because, like many women, we’ve spent most of our adult lives focused on our career and personal growth, but felt lonely in the process.

Women who work in the climate space face unique career and personal challenges - we give so much of ourselves and face hard truths every day. Many of us are forging new career pathways, inventing new systems, and practicing a more feminine form of leadership. We collaborate, we listen, we solve hard problems. All of this is a wonderful gift we give to the world, but without proper support, space, and connection with other women like us, this work can drain our precious resources.

Climate work is also seriously amplified and deepened by personal work. Personal work allows us to dig deeper, give bigger, and provide much-needed authentic forms of leadership that look for new solutions to unprecedented problems.

Yet much of the work we do to understand and untangle our careers and ourselves is done solo or one-on-one with a professional. We’ve read the books, taken the courses, and put in the hard work in the office. While this all helped us grow, eventually we realized that what was missing was not more information, more hard work, or more advice, but more community. We’ve taken our combined decades of personal work, leadership training, facilitation skills, and professional experience to create a program and a space for women who are willing to be radically transparent about their desires and challenges and could hold loving space for each other. We hope you join us on this radical journey forward, towards community, towards rest, towards growth, and towards impact on the world.

With love,
