Devaa and Elayne:
"I’ve met a lot of teachers, healers, and leaders in my years on the speaking circuit. When I wanted to dive deeper with my work and share from a new level of vulnerability, I turned to Devaa. She helped me lead from my authenticity, connect with my depth, and open in ways that proved energizing and effective. Her support enabled me to go to a whole new level in my public presentation and bring new qualities to my leadership. She helped me in a million ways that I cannot even describe. I am blessed by her presence. Thank you Devaa!"

With Elayne, I feel seen, heard and mirrored in all my authenticity. Two words: playful passion"

"Working with Devaa & Elayne has been one of the more poignant, fulfilling and empowering of my life experiences to date. Both of these women are extremely gifted in identifying and bringing out the strengths, skills and beauty of each individual that they come into contact with. In my own work with them, I have felt continuously seen, heard and held by their unique feminine presence, which is sometimes amazingly gentle and compassionate and at other times fierce and full of fire-- igniting my own inner flame. Always, they come from love. I highly recommend Devaa to any woman who desires to blossom into her full leadership potential."
– Suraya Susana Keating, MFT, Registered Drama Therapist
"Elayne you are potent expression of female energy. Your deep and wise insights. Your wild women. Your fun. Your joy. Your supportive collaboration. The whole -- and I emphasize whole -- enchilada. I’m really thrilled for you -- You have this powerful energy as the basis for whatever it is that you are building-- and it is big!"
– Erin Rasmussen
"The time (or should I say timelessness) that I spent with Devaa was profound. After years of seeing all kinds of ’experts’ I can honestly say the time with Devaa broke something loose and now I feel burden-free, as well as much lighter and more joyful. I recommend her work to anyone who is ready to fly."

Dear Inspiring Woman,
We’re so delighted you’re here! Thank you for showing up for yourself and your life in a potent, powerful and inspiring way.
Over the years, we’ve talked with many of you in our Summits and other live calls, and we know how inspiring you already are. Many of you are accomplished leaders, teachers, mentors and healers, and we are honored you are considering this journey with us.
This course is a special opportunity for you to co-create a closely connected community of amazing women where all of you are enlivening each other to hone and realize your greatest visions and passions.
We know the frustration of wanting to get yourself out there in the biggest way possible and making an impact through your work, passions, projects and communities, but not having the necessary tools, resources or support to make it happen. We were both there just a few years ago ourselves. And now we want to share with you what we’ve been learning and cultivating over the years when we’ve gone from working with intimate groups to working with thousands!
The yearning for a deeper, more meaningful, more passionate life doesn’t go away. We just become more skilled at honing our gifts and intuiting the right pathway for getting them out there in order to touch more lives and change what’s ours to change.
One of our greatest passions is helping women like you harness your gifts, skills and talents, so that you are able to make your greatest impact on the people and places in your sphere. We’ve been privileged to now do that with thousands of women from around the world through our courses and free events.
We see this course as a powerful chance to really ground the 5 essential qualities of an inspiring woman within you, so that you are living and breathing them each day. We know that when we keep practicing the basics – and have ongoing and meaningful support – our gifts sprout wings and take us to greater-than-imagined heights of joy, deep contentment, and, yes, even ecstasy.
We warmly invite you to join us on this 5-week journey! This is about you launching your soul’s work into a larger sphere – leading you to be an inspiration to even more people. And when you do this, you make a world of difference.
With love,
Devaa & Elayne
Week 1: Soulful Presence
Soulful presence is the foundation of an inspiring woman. When you cultivate soulful presence, you move with ease, grace and efficacy. You show up in a very deep, powerful way that causes others to pay attention to your insights and ideas. You’re seen as a leader and, seemingly, can create magical opportunities for the world around you to shift in a more positive direction just through how you’re “being.” In this first week, you will:
- Learn the 3 keys to cultivating soulful presence in your everyday life – space, pace, and awareness
- Practice staying balanced and centered in your life no matter what life offers you, even when it feels like you are off-track or failing in some way
- Experience how your world can shift through the power of your presence
- Activate your feminine intuition to read the deeper dynamics in your work and life – and act from this knowing
Week 2: Openheartedness
Openheartedness, a quality that is celebrated in most spiritual traditions, is essential to bringing ourselves in deep intimacy with the world around us. As inspiring women, one of the ways we can most help a world out-of-balance is to cultivate an open heart, which acts as a soothing balm for the many pain and struggles around us. Yet learning to stay openhearted in the midst of great chaos is not easy; it’s a skill that requires ongoing practice. In this second week, you will:
- Learn a simple step-by-step process to bring yourself into a state of openhearted awareness – especially when you are experiencing stress
- Know and feel you have more than enough and are wealthy in all aspects of your life
- Practice giving and receiving generosity to amplify the love in your life
- Cultivate daily heart practices to increase your health, happiness and your ability to live inside your tender vulnerability
- Learn to face the world with your heart wide open – and connect with what really touches your heart enough for you to take inspired action.
Week 3: Creative Vision into Manifestation
When we’re connected to our own creative vision, we create expanded possibilities for ourselves and those around us. We discern what we’re here to do and be in this lifetime, with creative ideas for how to bring it into manifestation. We’re also able to imagine innovative solutions to very old and enduring problems. As we develop our visionary capacity, others can’t help but become excited by our vision. And then we harness those rubber-meets-the-road skills to enroll others and grow our projects, businesses and causes, so that our visions take root and expand! In Week 3, you will:
- Unleash your true visionary potential that moves you towards being an inspired woman leader
- Allow yourself to dream into a greater-than-imagined reality for yourself – without feeling the constraints of money or time
- Discover and hone your unique creative genius and cultivate a daily practice of “what if”
- Practice being free, fluid, and creative and apply these qualities to your projects and work
- Learn to take inventory of how you are enrolling people (or not) and discover new ways of expanding your reach
- Begin to map out the small steps needed to take your big dreams out into the world to create a shift on the planet
Week 4: Authentic Power
Authentic power gives us the ability to speak our deepest truth in service to the greater good and walk our talk consistently. Others are naturally drawn to us because we are honest, steady, grounded, and our energy matches inside and out. We are what we say we are – and we move from a centered place of knowing our value and trusting our process. With laser-beam focus, we’re able to discern what’s ours to do – and what’s best to be left on the table (or deleted from our email inboxes). This week you will:
- Take steps to find and express your most authentic voice
- Nurture your own authentic power center so that you can access it even when you’re faced with life’s toughest challenges
- Practice speaking the truths that need to be said in a way that others can hear them
- Gain the skills to bring your full authenticity to your chosen work and projects
- Learn how to apply your authentic gifts into passionate service in the world
Week 5: Passionate Service
When we are called into passionate service, we are inspired to take outrageous and remarkable actions in the world and to expand the possibilities for our lives. We know that we are here for a purpose that’s bigger than our personal satisfaction. We know we want to make a positive impact on our world. So, how do you get your gifts out into the world in a big way? In our final week together, you will:
- Cultivate the heart of passionate service within yourself and connect with this deep spiritual tradition that nourishes us – and the world
- Practice and hone the 3 steps you must take in order to move towards a life of passionate service: commitment, discipline and joy
- Begin to identify the bigger call to service – the burn in your belly – that requires you to be bold, open-hearted, courageous and in passionate service
- Map out your plan for turning your vision into meaningful action now and in the future

Susan has used KINS to create a social venture capital industry (Investors’ Circle) and a socially-responsible business industry (Social Venture Network). KINS has proved effective to target business parity for women (Committee of 200), to "make solar happen for the world" (Solar Circle), to create a better mousetrap for venture capital (Solaria Investors’ Circle) and teach women investors to invest in women-led businesses (Capital Circle) and teach business leaders "EarthCare" (Kindred Spirits Network)—among many others!

“When we enter the domain of money, there often seems to be a disconnect from the soulful person we have known ourselves to be.
