Virtual women’s gathering aims to heal the ‘sister wound’ and reignite female solidarity

Valcina Candy Stoute of San Sauveur has come up with an initiative to rekindle the spirit of sisterhood among women, a virtual Women’s Gathering scheduled for Saturday, July 19, 2025. The two-hour event, co-hosted with her sister buddy Michelle Ponce from Arizona, is designed to foster connection, trust, and healing among women across the globe.

The gathering, themed “Heal the Sister Wound and Release Your Authentic Voice,” is the culmination of Valcina’s recent completion of a facilitator’s training program with Sistership Circle. Inspired by her own journey through burnout and the transformative support she received, Valcina is now creating a space for other women to experience similar healing and empowerment.

The virtual circle will encourage women to share their stories, express their emotions, and support one another in a non-judgmental environment. Valcina emphasizes that the event is a response to the growing sense of competition and comparison among women, which she believes has eroded the traditional bonds of female solidarity.

“Over the years, we’ve seen a depletion of closeness among women,” Valcina shared. “This gathering is about returning to our tribal nature—uplifting, encouraging, and collaborating with one another.”

The concept of the “sister wound” refers to the emotional and psychological scars caused by rivalry, jealousy, and gossip among women. Through open dialogue and shared experiences, the gathering aims to dismantle these patterns and replace them with mutual respect and support.

According to Valcina, whether you’re feeling stuck, seeking accountability, or simply longing for a kind word, this gathering offers a safe and nurturing space to reconnect with your authentic self and with other women.

“Deep down, women want that space where they can be open,” she said. “This is our chance to create it together.”
