It's been a long time since I was a newbie, so I don't know what is
needed
there. 

As for the guru women: why not ask them?
Gurus tend to specialise in their 
own areas - what interests me may not interest the next one.

OTOH, try inviting/encouraging the guru women to give talks on their own 
areas of expertise, for the other gurus - or for the newbies - or for
both.
(not necessarily in the same lecture). Use your own resources.. :)
