Program Description: Conscious Revolution’s Seeing White: Foundations for White Women, is a 9-week community cohort designed for individuals identifying as White women. Participants will develop a structural analysis of race, while conditioning the mind and body to further commit to racial equity. We’ll examine White women’s alignment with power structures that perpetuate patriarchy and racism, from slavery to the meme Karen. Foundations offers a unique exploration into the role and opportunity for White women to contribute to building anti-racist organizations and solidarity movements.
Conscious Revolution is offering White Women Foundations as a complement to White Men for Racial Justice’s Seeing White: WMRJ Foundations 101 cohort offering. WMRJ and Conscious Revolution have been partnering together to bring this program to individuals identifying as White women.

We ask you to consider: What is the right amount for you? What are your financial means? Can you offer more so another person can join offerings in the Conscious Leadership Community? The majority of the program fee goes to paying facilitators to compensate for their contributions. Excess funds, if any, support making our future programs and events accessible to all those who would like to attend regardless of their ability to pay.
We do not want anyone to be turned away due to lack of resources and we intend for our offerings to be accessible to all leaders. We are also committed to fostering a community that is diverse and balanced. Need-based scholarships are typically reserved for BIPOC, LGBTQ+ folks and applicants from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
We do our best to find agreeable solutions for all, and though we cannot accommodate every request, we will always do our best, so please let us know what you may need.

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
My name is Margot - I love walking by the ocean with my husband, learning new things alongside my 3 kids, the smell of a campfire, getting my hands dirty in the garden, creating art, and making soup without recipes. I am a 3rd generation New Yorker, and have been building community for over 20 years in what is now called Portland, Maine. I have a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies from Bates College and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern Maine and am licensed as a clinical social worker, with my practice rooted in radical social change strategies for structural transformation and community justice.
For fifteen years, I was the Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director at Maine Inside Out (MIO), where I co-created an innovative transformative justice organization implementing a sustainability framework, strategic plan, and operational oversight with a commitment to non-traditional governance models and shared leadership values. Over the years and previous to my work at MIO, I have been part of community based movements for social change from grassroots farming collectives focused on food sovereignty to large scale political campaigns intended to shift outdated systems. I’ve also worked as a leader and coalition builder at various non profits and in school based settings in the areas of houselessness, incarceration, legal rights, the arts, youth resiliency, and alternatives to suspension and expulsion. I have also been an advocate and thought partner inside government systems focused on systemic changes that move towards inclusivity and responsiveness to all. I’ve been a member of countless local committees and coalitions as well as nominated to sit on government advisory groups. In all environments - grassroots to government - and in all relationships - I hold steady on a path that is driven by a desire to build a more interconnected and equitable world. As a leader and collaborator, I bring a strong racial justice movement orientation to all of my work and strive to create a culture of integrity and trust across diverse teams of people, where all can feel confident to build meaningful relationships, be autonomous and collaborative, make mistakes, and learn and grow personally and collectively.
At Conscious Revolution, I am answering a call to co-create and support the Conscious Leadership Community - with the aim to creatively engage leaders and changemakers across sectors to accelerate progress toward personal healing, organizational change, and systemic and cultural transformation. I have personally been on a twenty five year journey that recognizes the inextricable link between inner work and its outer personal, professional and systemic manifestations, and look forward to being in community with others at all points of their journeys who share this recognition and commitment. I will also be working with non profit partners on higher purpose, values, and organizational design, and to support those that I am fortunate to work with to find the greatest alignment of their organizational purpose and values and to build practices and structures that create, nourish, and uphold the culture, community and world desired to live and work in.
