HerTribe Quarterly Impact Report (January – March 2026)

Over the first three months of 2026, HerTribe communities nationwide experienced a flurry of activity and renewed focus. In addition to regular monthly meetings led by twelve of our HerTribe groups, WFWP USA launched the start of HerTribe Online: Spring Semester, a monthly online gathering for women to participate in the HerTribe curriculum, from the comfort of their own homes. In January, Tempe, Arizona hosted a one-day Awaken Women’s Retreat, and in February, the monthly online Thrive Newsletter began featuring Mother Han’s words of peace as part of its “Wisdom in Action” section, coinciding with the same words and themes from the HerTribe curriculum. Overall, 258 women were positively impacted this quarter, gathering in large or intimate spaces, sharing genuinely from their hearts, and ultimately, receiving something meaningful for their lives. Read on to find out more about their experiences.

HerTribe themes and personalized experiences

The major themes this quarter included manifesting intentions at the start of the new year, building a “nest of happiness” through practicing true love in February, and committing oneself to a life powered by love in March. 

During the months of February and March, a number of groups chose to hold “Galentine’s Day” themed meetings and events. This meant investing special attention into heart- shaped decorations, roses and flower decor, and even featuring chocolate covered strawberries, as they did in Los Angeles. In Clifton, NJ, WFWP USA President, Dr. Katarina Connery, single-handedly prepared a high tea for their quarterly gathering, as a way of celebrating members, along with adding an extra incentive for new women to join. 

In Tempe, AZ 30 women of all ages gathered together for a one-day Awaken Retreat [link to full report]. After attending the National Awaken Retreat in PA last October, Romina Toska felt inspired to bring the content and energy to the women in her own community of Tempe, and the January event became the fruit of her efforts. Some highlights of the retreat included a service project, packing feminine products for 300 women in need, an intergenerational audience, including young girls in their teens, and a mixture of faiths represented amongst attendees. 

Firsts this Quarter (new initiatives)

In February, WFWP USA launched our first HerTribe Online meeting, an initiative to make the HerTribe space accessible for women all around the country. HerTribe Online meetings are ideal for women hoping to join a community but are too far away physically from an active group. They are also perfect for current and prospective HerTribe hosts, who can utilize the platform to gain ideas, support and confidence in effectively leading their own gatherings. HerTribe Online also runs on a 4-month semester timeline, with our May meeting concluding the Spring semester. Finally, this semester features rotating facilitators, Dr. Mika Deshotel and Romina Toska, with the idea being guest hosts leading in the Fall semester. Since February, our gatherings have been steadily growing, with a number of new and returning faces. Women often comment on how refreshing it is simply to gather together as women, uplifting one another, often solely through our presence and acknowledgement of each other’s situations. 

Another initiative by WFWP USA has been the creation of seasonal webinars, as part of the Member’s Hub content in the Thrive Newsletter. The webinars place a special focus on four feminine archetypes, which correspond with the four seasons of the year: the “Lover” Archetype in Spring, the “Mother” in Summer, the “Warrior” in Fall, and the “Sage” in Winter. So far, the Lover Archetype webinar was featured in the March edition, with the Summer webinar being published in mid-June. The inspiration for the webinar content stems in large part from a presentation given during the national Awaken Retreat, and a book by Barbara McNally entitled, Four Faces of Femininity (2020).

Thank you 

Thanks to your support, HerTribe continues to grow as a movement of spiritual sisterhood uplifting women, nurturing faith, and strengthening communities. Whether through light-hearted and creative drawings or crafts, creating a beautiful environment with flowers and chocolate, or discussing together in deep and meaningful conversation, each moment shared affirms a greater truth: that when women gather with intention, creativity, connection, and growth follow.

These precious stories are possible because of you. Your contributions make space for women to be seen, heard, and loved, and to draw closer to God. Please take a moment to enjoy some additional heartfelt reflections from HerTribe participants:

Testimonies

“[During] our Her Tribe gathering, the [most] touching part was [reading] the words of Hak Ja Han Moon (Holy Mother Han), about life being a marathon... A marathon isn’t about being the fastest at the start, but about endurance, faith, and continuing step by step until the end. Life is a marathon guided by God,

• trusting that there is a purpose, even when the path feels long or difficult

• believing that you’re not running alone

• and staying true to your values and who you are

The feeling that God is beside you in the marathon can bring a lot of strength. It’s like a quiet reminder that every step—small or big—still counts. Even when things are uncertain, staying sincere with yourself and following what you believe is right, can help keep you moving forward.” - Charlotte Kiluba

Today the food was delicious and prepared with love and care; the atmosphere was warm. Opportunities to know each other better and share our heart is always unforgettable. Talk therapy is needed in this world and guests feel special and welcome, so do not give up! Every month is a step closer to the kingdom! What a good idea “her tribe”❤️😃- Elisabeth Seidel

 “Love can do anything and heal everything. Life is only one, and we must live it with love and empathy, doing what we love most to give meaning to life.” - Angelica
