The Sophia Institute
is a center for learning, convening innovative programs focused on personal and
societal transformation, led by renowned thought leaders and spiritual
teachers, that foster the rise of the Feminine, in partnership with the
Masculine, cultivating wisdom, mindfulness, and well-being, for a more just,
sustainable, and flourishing world. The WOMEN RISING! Epic Virtual Gathering is
creating opportunities for women and men from across the country and around the
world to explore, discover, and transform, as well as to personally interact
and network with women leaders who model authenticity and are living lives of
powerful purpose. As the CEO of two
award-winning, community-driven spirits companies in an industry heavily
saturated with male participants and “big players”, and as CEO of Charleston’s longest
running women’s magazine, the mother of nine, author, and multi
entrepreneur Pixie has ample experience exploring passion and purpose, as well
as guiding others to find theirs.
