Dear GTW Sisters,
Please note, for email addresses simply click on the blue underlined text.
It's a time for heart connections. They are happening everywhere and we only need to stay present in the moment to be aware of them. When you read through this newsletter, I know you will find opportunities to connect on a heart level with other women. Some great new circles are forming and this is your chance to be a part of them. On this coming Thur., May 6th, we have a chance to open ourselves to the gifts of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers through their film, "For The Next 7 Generations". See all the details below. Let's keep making those heart connections as we move together through our daily lives.

RITUAL CIRCLE
May 1st Beltane Ritual and live concert
Sat., May. 1, 5:45-7:00pm
Followed at 7:00pm by
Christen Lien in Concert (See Events of Interest)
Beltane is a magical time when the veils between the worlds are very thin. It is a time of fertility, the union of the two deities bringing new life to the Earth. It is an integration of the male and female archetypes. A time of celebration and enjoying and appreciating the gifts of nature.
Because of the nature of the ritual and the performance we have planned we are inviting MEN and WOMEN to participate in this ritual!
EMPATHY CIRCLEStarting Mon., May 3, 6:30 - 8:00 pmContact: Itara O'Connell 274-9700 Email Itara To be heard, to be truly seen by others, and to be understood deeply by others is a rare gift. For another person to be fully present with us, fully attentive to what we hold dear is truly nourishing. Emptying ourselves to be fully present to receive the experience of another is a skill and a precious gift to the other. Join us for this deeply nourishing experience of each other. Not only will we learn empathy- but we will learn what empathy is not. Empathy is not about fixing, story telling, educating or advising others- it is about a fully listening with the body, heart and spirit. This simple skill will change your life. SUCCESS TEAM CIRCLE Starting Mon., May 3, 8:00 - 9:00 pm
Contact: Itara O'Connell 274-9700 Email Itara This circle is based on the work of Barbara Sher. She has written several books on the topic of how to live the life you love. For most women, isolation is the dream killer. Success is based on the simple but effective support of other women. What is your wish, or dream, and what is your obstacle? With the help of a few other women you'll move from dreaming your dream to actually living your dream. Join us for this fast paced meeting of brainstorming and selecting the next step for you. This work changed my life. I went from burned out, unhappy social worker to self employed bodyworker and teacher. The path is simple and straightforward!

In this four week circle for both singles and couples, we will delve into a radical new paradigm for relating. This new paradigm calls you to rise, calls you to know your Radiant SELF and to create expansive relationships from vision. Through presentation, experiential exercises and discussion, we will touch on how to bring out the best in ourselves and our loved ones, how to use our complaints and resentments as creative launching pads for unleashing our passion and desire, and how to cultivate profound joy, deep intimacy, playful laughter, appreciation and mutual empowerment in our relationships.

Starting Thur., May 20, 6:45 - 8:45pm

Email Mary Elizabeth
The author of this book, Geneen Roth, says, "If you suffer about your relationship with food-you eat too much or too little, think about what you will eat constantly or try not to think about it at all-you can be free. Just look down at your plate. The answers are there. Don't run. Look. Because when we welcome what we most want to avoid, we contact the part of ourselves that is fresh and alive. We touch the life we truly want and evoke divinity itself."
If this calls to you, we are starting a circle to explore this book and topic. At the first meeting we will determine meeting dates, times and place. RSVP and I will send you directions
Bring: the book "Women, Food and God" by Geneen Roth, water bottle and journal, $5 donation to GTW
