WOMEN LIGHTING THE WORLD August 18th-21st at The DeKoven Center Racine, Wisconsin www.dekovencenter.org Come to Wisconsin to our Gathering on beautiful Lake Michigan on the historical grounds of the DeKoven Center. We’ll gather in circle to deepen our relationships, share our unique gifts, awaken our divine feminine spirits and open ourselves to collaboration with women’s groups from across the country and the world. Thursday afternoon and evening will be a time for setting up the Sacred Feminine Boutique and Silent Auction in the Great Hall. Once again women are welcome to bring their artful creations to offer for sale at the conference. We are also hoping that every woman will bring an item or two for the Silent Auction that will benefit the scholarship fund. Afterwards we’ll enjoy dinner together and spend the rest of the evening in a social activity that will give us time to reconnect with old friends and get to know new ones. Friday Morning The GTW Conveners will introduce themselves and share some important information about Gather the Women, after we open the circle with song and movement provided by Regional Coordinator ( Karie Hillery (www.karie.com) and each woman will have a chance to share with us, who they are and what their passions are.
