Calling the Goddess Within ~ by Viv Warwick
Goddess Myths for guidance, inspiration and personal transformation
In this interactive workshop the myths and meanings of Goddesses from
around the world are explored as guideposts for your spiritual
journey. Learn how to call upon the wisdom, courage and deep
compassion of such Goddesses as Kali, Demeter, Persephone, Inanna,
Tara, Brigit, Pele, or Oshun, for strength and understanding and the
unique gifts they offer. Each woman will have a chance to create a
ritual that includes meditation and a beautiful and ancient
invocation to the Goddess of their choice, to use for support and
vision.
Amaterasu: Clarity
Gaia: Abundance
Inanna: Inner strength
Brigid: Survival
Tara: compassion
Kali: Freedom
Viv Warwick has been a facilitator and counselor for twenty years and
recently returned from a world trip in which she visited ancient
goddess sites and immersed herself in Goddess mythology. She is
currently studying her Master's degree in Women's Spirituality.

Dance with Delilah
Delilah will share with you a bit about her philosophy of the wheel
of the year and how it influences her
thinking about the art of belly dance. Then, we shall turn within and
call forth a moving celebration for the
gift of living in a woman's body. No experience necessary; this
class will be a follow-the-leader-style round dance.
Delilah is a world famous and award winning belly dancer who is a
mover and shaker in the movement to make belly
dance fully understood and appreciated as a powerful healing dance
form. She has inspired and mystified
audiences for her long standing performance legacy, and her excellent
instructional video series have
influenced women all over the world for nearly 20 years. Delilah's
