The mission of the Spiral Dance Womyn’s Center is to provide the
safe space and resources women need to empower themselves.


Our Membership & the Womyn We Serve
The Spiral Dance Womyn's Center serves womyn who were born and raised as womyn in a  
patriarchal world.  We celebrate all womyn and we provide them with a safe, sacred,
multicultural space where they can spend time together and learn from each other's
experiences.  The SDWC values the differences among womyn; differences that include
race, religion, ethnicity, age, ability, social class, and sexual orientation.  While we
recognize the many differences between womyn, we also recognize those experiences we
have in common as womyn.  Therefore, membership is open to all womyn & girls.



Our Goals
♀  Provide a safe, warm, and inviting space for womyn and girls.
♀  Empower womyn to work for both personal and social change.
♀  Model womyn’s collective work and micro-economic practices.



Our Strategy
In order to accomplish our goals, our strategy is to provide diverse programs in five areas
of concentration; Art, Education, Wellness, Spirituality, and Community Building.  All of
our programs are designed to develop the potential in each womyn.  Each class lasts 4 to 6
weeks, and is taught by a womyn who volunteers to share her personal experience &
knowledge.




Our Accomplishments
In 2009 the SDWC had a miraculous year of growth in programs and services, and in the
number of people it served.  This year the SDWC gained over 100 new members and
produced over 400 classes, workshops, and special events.  SDWC classes ranged from
cooking to Karate and GED to gardening, and along the way our board of directors and our
amazing group of volunteers produced an art show, a spring formal, a summer block party, a
Halloween costume ball, and a magic holiday auction.   In addition to these wonderful
programs, the Spiral Dance Womyn’s Center also received & distributed donations that
included over 1,000 pieces of clothing, 500 household items, 100 sidewalk gardens, 750
toiletry items, 25 boxes of food & grocery gift cards, and 8 Target gift cards for
neighborhood children’s holiday gifts.  To date, the SDWC has touched the lives of over
1,300 women, children, and men.  These numbers mean that the SDWC has overwhelmingly
fulfilled its mission of providing safe space and resources for women to empower
themselves.  This year the SDWC accomplished a small miracle, in a small place, on a small
budget.
