Telos Training, Inc. believes that the power working in women, the powerful and traditional work of women are critical to the holistic health and development of functional families and vibrant communities.

The seeds of Telos Training, Inc. were planted in 2007 when a small group of 9 women began meeting for Sunday School at The Church of Christ of Apostolic Faith in Columbus, Ohio. Paula Penn-Nabrit agreed to teach the class and began writing The Power of a Virtuous Woman, based on Proverbs 31.

In 2010 the class, grown to 25 women, hosted an open “Day of Discussion” featuring “Pray the Devil Back to Hell“, the 2008 Best Documentary Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival. Abigail Disney’s film about Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Leymah Gbowee, was the perfect introduction to a day of discussion on telos at the macro, national and political level as well as the micro, familial level of organic gardening, lactation and the holistic development of children and families.
