A Look Inside the Masterclass
New Woman Masterclass
Class 1 Preview
An honest look at the first class of a sixteen-class formation journey: four lessons, the full workbook, the Catholic Companion, and the syllabus that follows. Designed for women who want to see what this is before they take the next step.
What Is the New Woman Masterclass?
So many women today struggle with unfulfillment and overwhelm, not because they are broken but because they are undertrained. Other professions receive decades of training, and yet women today lack the foundational skill-based training necessary to achieve peace and cultivate a quality life.
The demands and expectations placed on women both personally and professionally have led women to doubt their self-worth and have wreaked generational havoc in our families and communities.
The New Woman Masterclass is a comprehensive, skill-based practical life training to help women achieve their purpose, fulfill their dreams, and become whole in every season of life. This training is what every woman needs to flourish in every arena and in all seasons of life.
Taught by January Donovan
Every class in the masterclass is written and taught by January Donovan, founder of The Woman School and Catholic Feminine Formation. The work draws on twenty-five years of teaching women, the lived experience of marriage and motherhood, and a deep formation in the feminine genius as St. John Paul II described it.
What you will see in the next four lessons is not a polished marketing reel. It is the actual teaching, the same teaching parishes, college communities, and Catholic organizations are bringing to women across the country.
Design a Life of Purpose
The first class establishes the foundation every formed woman builds upon: a clear sense of purpose, a recovered understanding of what women deserve, the difference between disordered impulse and holy desire, and the reverent honoring of the wounds that have shaped her.
