Registration for the Spring 2025 immersive to Montgomery is now closed. If you’re interested in a future trip, please join the waitlist.
All Seeing White - Foundations for White Women cohort members are invited. If you have not participated in a Seeing White cohort and identify as a white woman, we’d love to talk more about having you join us. Please email us to schedule time to connect.
From May 1-4, 2025, Conscious Revolution is coordinating a group experience for anyone who identifies as a white woman to Montgomery, Alabama. Montgomery is home to some of the most profound memorial sites in our country, continuing our learning about our history, connecting our history to our present, and facilitating deep reflection. We’ll build deeper community with one another in ways not possible virtually, including with one of our equity advisors Dr. Zoe Spencer. We also hope this experience contributes to our personal and collective healing.
We are modeling this experience off of the Montgomery trips offered by White Men for Racial Justice (WMRJ) over the past two years. Testimonials from these trips indicate that this will be a life changing experience.
See below for a detailed agenda. Please register by March 26 to give us time to plan for the size of the group.

Tara Jenkins (she/her)
Principal Consultant & Founder Conscious Revolution
I’ve got a couple of things I’m doing that I’d call my life’s joy (formerly called life’s work). Being a mom to my two kids gives me a chance to directly influence two people that will do great things in this beautiful, chaotic, wild world. Yes!
My life’s joy is also helping leaders build inspiring organizations that they love. There’s no better way to spend precious life time! The unique organizations we create together impact so many people for the better.
I have been told I’m a catalyst for transformation. To do this work I have a commitment to be awake in every aspect of my life, a commitment to equity and abundance, and a vow to be content in being both polished and a messy work in progress.
Witty things make me laugh. Kindred spirits fill me up. I love the sky, trees and water. Ask me to travel, sing, dance, hike, or see live music and I’m immediately in. Skiing and camping are a blast once you’ve started but the prep almost makes me not want to go. Someday I’ll be deeply settled in my body and soul and helping others to do the same.
And yeah, I have all those credentials one typically needs to be declared legit. Twenty-five plus wisdom-building years grinding it out as a global HR leader; Undergrad in Human Resources, Masters in Organizational Development & Leadership, Certifications galore. In 2019, I became one of the world’s first Certified Conscious Capitalism Consultants*.
Our work together will fill everyone, including us, with joy and inspiration. Yes, we can do that! Yes, that’s what we are doing! Join us!
Margot Fine (she/her) Partner Consultant, & Conscious Leadership Community Lead
I’m Margot, a community weaver, advocate for radical transformation, and lifelong learner. My roots stretch from a third-generation New York lineage with Russian and Polish ancestry to the place we now call Portland, Maine—where I’ve spent over 20 years building connections and nurturing community. I find joy in walking by the ocean with my partner, learning alongside my kids, playing in the garden, creating art, and making soup without recipes.
I’m shaped by my work as a co-founder and Co-Executive Director of Maine Inside Out, an organization I helped bring to life that uses theater as a tool for social change, centering people most directly impacted by incarceration. In my role as Co-Executive Director, I worked collaboratively across different identities, guiding the organization’s vision, strategic planning, and operational growth. I also nurtured MIO’s sustainability framework, focusing on non-traditional governance and shared decision-making processes. Throughout my career, I’ve worked within organizations and systems, fostering change on issues such as food sovereignty, incarceration, youth resiliency, and alternatives to exclusionary practices. My experience includes working on large-scale political campaigns and alongside government systems, advocating for inclusivity and responsiveness at every level.
In addition to my organizational work, I am passionate about facilitating groups and curating transformative experiences that empower individuals and communities. I aim to bring people together in meaningful ways, creating spaces where people can learn, be heard, be held, and grow—whether in a workshop, a retreat, or a collective action.
While my journey has been shaped by hands-on, organizational experience, I also graduated from Bates College, received a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern Maine and have a Clinical Social Work License. These academic experiences have provided me with useful tools that complement my practical work and deepen my understanding of collective healing and change.
I approach leadership with a focus on trust, collaboration, and growth, and I am committed to fostering spaces where people can evolve individually and collectively. My work continues to be driven by a desire to support lasting change and ongoing evolution, whether that’s with individuals, organizations, communities, or systems.
When I’m not working, you can find me outside, connecting with the natural world and finding joy in the simple acts of creating, collaborating, and being as present as possible in the moment.
