The Chenille Canopy is a forum for all women who are members of ADF, providing protection for new ideas, a safe haven for discussion and problem resolution as well as a supportive structure for women to pursue higher visibility roles within the organization. In order to keep this a safe haven, any member who willingly violates the confidentiality of the group in a knowingly malicious manner may/will be removed from this list for a determined amount of time.

As the primary identification of ADF is that of a religious organization, likewise the Canopy is dedicated to the spiritual endeavors of its participants. Participation is open to all female members of ADF – both those who are in groves and our solitaries. Although we have started in the Heartland Region, our retreats are open to women of all regions with the hope that they will start to host their own as well.

We ask that you include in your subscription request your name, grove affiliation (if any) and location.
