Alexandra Merrill

Alexandra Merrill, founder of Women's Way is president of Merrill Consulting Associates, a professional member of National Laboratory Institute and the Indian Society of Applied Behavioral Sciences. Her expertise lies in teaching about archetypal processes in group life, comparative mythologies and the cross-cultural themes which are always embedded in group life. She works with the visible and invisible differences, the unconscious processes and the legacies of oppression which are both empowering and inhibiting the growth of the life force in women's collective. As a feminist she always seeks to focus the group work on the processes which oppress the human spirit in men and women and then collaborate with the group in lifting the oppressive energy off the system. Her current research interests lie in the areas of articulating a theory for the process of the all-female group and in following a 10-year action research leadership project with a large national community of women. She is also developing regional, national, cross cultural and cross-discipline teams of women working for social change in the USA and in India.
