The Peotona Foundation enables members to interact and connect with one another around shared interests, mutual opportunities and challenges.
Our Founders actively lead and guide the Peotona Foundation Network, a safe space providing a platform for our members to interact with each other on a personalised and shared-interest basis. Members connect regularly both formally and informally, fostering significant relationships and sharing challenges and opportunities in both their work and social lives.
The Network holds space for connections to grow organically over time; in a world where individualism can be competitive and create isolation. It is a place of sharing and affirmation and a place of belonging amongst remarkable and talented women of all ages. These women positively impact South African society and create a powerful force for change.
The Foundation actively captures the learnings and relevant issues identified by its members, ensuring that the Network continually evolves, whilst remaining true to the Founders principles and values.
Network events include:
Peotona Connection Circle Events
- Network members collaborate to create their own sessions of interaction, reflection and connection, based on shared interests, challenges and opportunities , accessing the richness of the Network and the support and assistance available. Selected members facilitate these sessions on behalf of the Foundation.
Individual Founder Round Tables
- Each of the Founders hosts a series of intimate Round Table event for a maximum of 9 members, dealing with a key topic selected by that Founder.
Mentee Connect Events
- These provide mentees with opportunities to hear directly from the Founders; reflect as peers; network, receive updates and have input on the Mentorship Journey as it progresses.
Network Member requirements
- The network is a closed network, by invitation only.
- Annual membership fees are R 6 000 ex VAT per community member, which grants access to all the events and to all Network members directly.
- Mentees who are part of the annual Mentorship Programme, become Network members as part of their Programme fee for the duration of the Programme.
If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you’ll come to understand that you’re connected with everything.
