A Woman Focused Wealth and Wellness Center Moving From Vision to Action

CMWS is the conduit for women leaders across all fields, walks of life, belief systems and experiences to collaborate with the community leaders and systems in place to create a woman focussed wealth and wellness center, community kitchen and international market. A Success Plan Team was organized in late February and has now grown to over 20 individuals and organizations sitting at the table, to move this initiative from vision to action.

These are the golden threads weaving a living tapestry of our talents, products, services and diverse community. 

A Woman Focused Visioning for Sustainable Wealth & Wellness

They are the pioneers building a 21st century community center and marketplace inspired by women who are joined by men determined to make sustainable wealth and wellness accessible to all women and their families.
