THRIVE.
Lander Womentum seeks to create personal and professional connections among women. We bring self-identified women together for inspiration through connection with others, who may not have occasion to interact with each other in their daily lives. Lander Womentum participants are doing large and small things to make our world a better place.
The nature of the connections requires trust in each individual’s ability to hold confidentiality and respect for other perspectives as a top priority. We ask participants to be willing to be vulnerable and bring their authentic selves as members of a cohort experience.
We have found that a smaller group size helps to develop the kinds of meaningful and dynamic interactions that are ripe for personal development, brave vulnerability, and generating new ideas. For these reasons, the Leadership Team limits the cohort size to 12-20 individuals, depending on the year. Applicants who are not offered a spot in the current cohort are prioritized the following year.
This program is a seven-month commitment. Please plan to attend all sessions, with special consideration for the first and last. These two sessions are mandatory; please only apply if you can attend both. We know that unexpected conflicts arise in all our lives, but the program is designed with an assumption that participants will attend the vast majority of sessions, meet with their partner at least monthly, and do some necessary preparation for monthly gatherings.

Selection Process
The Leadership Team will review applications with the goal of creating a cohesive cohort, where every individual feels challenged, yet comfortable enough to be vulnerable, as we tackle complicated and personal topics. This is quite broad. We take into consideration applicants’ schedules and goals, as well as the interests and diversity of the group/cohort. If you are not selected this year, we highly encourage you to apply again in the future.
