Oct. 23rd: Women's Day: Women of Change 9:00 am - 3pm $50 Keynote Speaker: Adrianna Ernstberger, PhD Marian University The legacy of women as change agents in social, political, religious, and economics, in fact in all areas of life, is without question. Yet, the acknowledgement of this work is a struggle that continues even today. What stories, efforts, perspectives, struggles have been documented? Women have been, and continue to be at the forefront of change in human history. We will focus on the journey to be Women of Change, while honoring our Grandmothers, elderly women, matriarchs, wise women, sages, crones, inside all of us. We all share one quality: women are changing the world! Art Breakout Session: Theresa Murphy, Oldenburg Academy Art Teacher Theresa will lead us in an art exercise that will tap into the creativeness that flows through us. Drumming Breakout Session: Leon Enneking, Music Instructor Leon will lead us through the spiritual practice of drumming in each of us. |
