Mothers Day Picnic Sunday, May 11

We're Looking for coordinators for our Mothers Day Event. Last year we stood with STANDING WOMAN (standingwoman.org) during a family Mothers Day picnic. We need one or two volunteers to coordinate and plan the event. This includes finding the Park to picnic in, putting out the press releases, and planning the brief moment of standing together in concert with women around the world.

Please call Marilyn at 477-8080 and or attend one of our Steering Wheel meetings.

RITUALS... Saturday March 29h ­ The Great Calling - WILL BE RESCHEDULED FOR LATER IN THE YEAR

My intention for doing the rituals is to ignite a flame of remembrance within each woman of the magical Divine feminine energy she holds so we can bring it forward into our world.

Please note the different days and times for the following rituals:

Saturday April 12th ­ Potluck 11:45 to 12:45, ritual 1:00 ­ 4:30 The Magic of Laughter - The Power of Play As little children we knew the value of laughter and play. Come rekindle that child in you as Laughing Yoga Coach, Erin Cote, has you rolling with laughter and delight.

Sunday May 4th from 1pm to 5pm Building a Labyrinth of LOVE and world peace You are invited to come and help create the building of a labyrinth made of stones. With each stone a woman places on the ground a prayer and intention will be said to create a world of love and balance, a world that works for everyone, for all life. Come help create this dream! The intention for this ritual is for it to be done all over the world in some form.

Please RSVP to kathleenmcintire@mac.com

PEACE ART CIRCLE Contact: Sandra Miller, 478-9550 Peace Art is moving along at a steady pace. We are working on our brochure right now. We need help making a website if anyone is interested we would welcome you. We are planning an event for 2008 not sure of the location but looking into this now. The event will be pieces of art that represent peace to you. The forms could be poetry, music dance, drawing, painting, photography, meditation etc. Basically any way one wishes to express what Peace is to them. There is another organization that is called Global Peace Art Project that was created by Katherine Josten their web site http://www.global-art.org/index.html, go look at it. We could make our event a two fold event for those who would like to do it. Every two years Global Peace Art exchanges an original piece of art with someone in another country or state and anyone who would like use the piece of art they do for our show could also use it to exchange with another person for theirs. You can contact us through Sandra Miller 478-9550 or Sandra@drmiller.com. If you email be sure to put Peace/Art in the subject line, so I will distinguish it from junk mail.
