Who We Are

Banyan Tree Women’s Collective (BTWC) was founded by two Bay Area women. Although they came from very different life experiences, over their years of friendship and sisterhood they shared the vision and passion to create a diverse and inclusive wellness collective founded by women for the women of their communities. 

 BTWC welcomes all allies, innovators and believers in equality to join the collective regardless of their gender or identity. We believe there is power in community.

“Diversity may be the hardest thing for a society to live with, and perhaps the most dangerous thing for a society to live without”
— William Sloane Coffin Jr.
