In some primate species, females hold the power in the group, are highly cooperative, have lasting relationships, and spend long periods of time caring for their young. Our SSW community will learn more about parallels between primates and humans to reshape and strengthen our understanding of our own experiences as women.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer will share what sparked her passion for studying primates and why her work has shifted toward collaboratively growing local conservation efforts and environmental stewardship. Just as SSW brings together women from all walks of life to create community, Jennifer owes her unlikely life path to women guides and mentors who encouraged her to pursue meaning and paths less traveled.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer also develops training and education programs for an affordable, cooperative housing nonprofit organization. She lives in Milwaukee with her family and enjoys being a mother to two fun daughters. Attending Summer Seminars for Women in 2023 was her opportunity to fulfill her childhood dream of experiencing sleepaway camp.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e100-e53 m2s-m m2s-o m2s-r m2s-s m2s-t m2s-u m2s-10 m2s-11 m2s-1b m2s-c m2s-g x-effect-exit\" data-x-effect=\"{&quot;scroll&quot;:true,&quot;offsetTop&quot;:&quot;10%&quot;,&quot;offsetBottom&quot;:&quot;10%&quot;,&quot;behaviorScroll&quot;:&quot;fire-once&quot;}\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e100-e54 m2s-1d m2s-1f m2s-1g m2s-1h m2s-1i\"><div class=\"x-div e100-e55 m2s-3c m2s-3e m2s-3f m2s-3i m2s-e m2s-j\" data-x-effect=\"{&quot;durationBase&quot;:&quot;300ms&quot;}\"><div class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e100-e56 m2s-1d m2s-1f\"><div class=\"x-div e100-e57 m2s-3c m2s-3d m2s-3h\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e100-e58 m2s-1t m2s-1v m2s-1x m2s-1z m2s-22 m2s-23 m2s-25 m2s-26\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h3 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Joy Kiefer<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e100-e59 m2s-2b m2s-2e m2s-2h m2s-2n m2s-2r m2s-2u m2s-2w m2s-2x m2s-30 m2s-31 m2s-32\"><p>Teacher, Mindfulness Practitioner, and Co-Seeker<\/p><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e100-e60 m2s-2b m2s-2e m2s-2h m2s-2n m2s-2o m2s-2r m2s-2u m2s-2x m2s-32 m2s-33\"><p>Joy Zalis Kiefer, PhD, CPCC, is a personal, leadership, and team development coach who helps people grow with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

As a trained SoulCollage\u00ae Facilitator, Meredith will support our group as we create our intuitive collages using a variety of images. There are many ways we can quiet our minds, and simply be in conversation with and listen to ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Using the materials we will have available on site (as well as what participants will bring), our morning will include a fascinating mix of learning, creating, doing, sharing, and observing. Being in community while exploring our own pathways, how we travelled them, and how we honor the people who have helped light the way in our lives will culminate into a unique and illuminating creation to take home.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e100-e64 m2s-0 m2s-1 m2s-8 m2s-b\"><div class=\"x-row e100-e65 m2s-m m2s-n m2s-o m2s-r m2s-t m2s-v m2s-14 m2s-1c\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e100-e66 m2s-1d m2s-1f m2s-1g m2s-1h m2s-1i m2s-1j m2s-1l m2s-1q m2s-c m2s-h x-effect-exit\" data-x-effect=\"{&quot;scroll&quot;:true,&quot;offsetTop&quot;:&quot;10%&quot;,&quot;offsetBottom&quot;:&quot;10%&quot;,&quot;behaviorScroll&quot;:&quot;fire-once&quot;}\"><div class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image\" data-x-element-bg-layer=\"{&quot;parallaxSize&quot;:&quot;150%&quot;,&quot;parallaxDir&quot;:&quot;h&quot;,&quot;parallaxRev&quot;:false}\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e100-e67 m2s-1d m2s-1g m2s-1h m2s-1l m2s-1r m2s-c m2s-i x-effect-exit\" data-x-effect=\"{&quot;scroll&quot;:true,&quot;offsetTop&quot;:&quot;10%&quot;,&quot;offsetBottom&quot;:&quot;10%&quot;,&quot;behaviorScroll&quot;:&quot;fire-once&quot;}\"><div class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e100-e68 m2s-1t m2s-1z m2s-20 m2s-21 m2s-23 m2s-24 m2s-27\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Questions?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-div e100-e69 m2s-3c m2s-3d m2s-3j m2s-3k\" data-x-effect-provider=\"colors particles effects\"><div class=\"x-div e100-e70 m2s-3c m2s-3d m2s-3j m2s-3k\"><div class=\"x-div e100-e71 m2s-3c m2s-3e m2s-3l m2s-e m2s-j\" data-x-effect=\"{&quot;durationBase&quot;:&quot;300ms&quot;}\"><div class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><a class=\"x-anchor x-anchor-button has-particle e100-e72 m2s-36 m2s-37 m2s-39 m2s-3a m2s-e m2s-k\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"mailto:hyoung@ayf.com\" data-x-effect=\"{&quot;durationBase&quot;:&quot;300ms&quot;}\"><span class=\"x-particle is-primary\" data-x-particle=\"scale-x inside-b_l\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span style=\"\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-anchor-content\"><div class=\"x-anchor-text\"><span class=\"x-anchor-text-primary\">Holley Young<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e100-e73 m2s-2b m2s-2e m2s-2g m2s-2h m2s-2n m2s-2r m2s-2w m2s-2x m2s-31 m2s-32 m2s-34\">Director of Adult Programs<\/div><div class=\"x-div e100-e74 m2s-3c m2s-3d m2s-3j\"><a class=\"x-anchor x-anchor-button has-graphic has-particle e100-e75 m2s-36 m2s-38 m2s-39 m2s-3b m2s-e m2s-l\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"mailto:hyoung@ayf.com\" data-x-effect=\"{&quot;durationBase&quot;:&quot;300ms&quot;}\"><span class=\"x-particle is-primary\" data-x-particle=\"scale-x inside-b_l\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span style=\"margin-left: 27px;\"><\/span><\/span><div class=\"x-anchor-content\"><span class=\"x-graphic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"x-icon x-graphic-child x-graphic-icon x-graphic-primary\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf0e0;\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"x-anchor-text\"><span class=\"x-anchor-text-primary\">Email<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer Seminars for Women Registration opens January 2026!july 29 to aug. 2, 2026Summer Seminars for Women is a five-day retreat offering a unique opportunity for women across multiple generations to come together for learning, reflection, connection, and fun through individual and group activities.
