WOW is a group of dedicated women learning how to live out our faith by following Jesus the Christ.
We are open to all women who seek to be a light through their gifts and graces.

My name is Mary Hollan, the Director of WOW. I grew up going to church and hearing the message so many believers probably hear. A message on what to believe not how to believe. While living in Kansas City, Missouri, I attended a church that included in their mission statement, “we are a disciple training headquarters”. These words so empowered me! Finally, a message on how to believe. Tools to help unlock a deeper connection with the Divine and hands on experiences. That philosophy inspired me to create a space for women to share their experiences in knowing our Creator, living a whole life and supporting each other’s stories.
WOW discusses emotional, spiritual and societal issues that pertain to women in particular and how to respond in this culture with the teachings Jesus gave us. We provide techniques through discussion topics to actually cultivate the power of kindness not just toward others, but toward ourselves as well.
During the past seven years WOW has developed a group of approximately 60 women with the same goal: connect and support our stories. With a leadership board of several women, we host yearly retreats, monthly zoom discussions and in person luncheons. More events continue to be imagined.

Join us to explore different ways of calming our emotions, going deeper in prayer and meditation and experiencing the creative arts that bring joy and healing. We provide two nights and 6 meals with your registration fee and lots of beautiful grounds to relax in at the Franciscan Renewal Center in Scottsdale AZ. We will team up with another non profit group this year which is Thrive AZ's Hope House which supports young pregnant women (18-24) who have aged out of foster care can live in a supportive setting before and/or after their babies have been born.
