every WOMAN – Vancouver, Oct 3rd

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

every WOMAN

I’m excited to announce that every WOMAN has invited me to present a workshop at their upcoming event in Vancouver on October 3rd. This is such a great event, encouraging women to embrace their inner strengths and power, and I love what they promote- here’s a bit more about them:

“every WOMAN is a conference offering an opportunity for women (all ages, shapes, sizes) to try new activities in a comfortable and supportive environment all in one day or all in one weekend. The concept of every WOMAN is to celebrate and learn from each other’s unique differences by providing a healthy, comfortable and non-judgmental setting for women to share their expertise with other women and inspire participants toward individual growth, reflection, support & motivation.”

How great is that!

Here is a description of the workshop I’ll be offering at the conference:

Rituals, Myth Making and Celebrations – Dolly Hopkins, Creative Architect

every day celebrations...

Ritual and Celebration are integral to the human experience. But how do we awaken ourselves to the wonder and awe of ceremony, ritual, and celebration in our everyday lives?

Dolly will draw your attention to what we already experience as daily celebrations, share ways to expand the meaning and scope of your own personal rituals, and build appreciation of how rituals and myth making connect us to the life force of wellness within our families and communities.

You will be taken through a series of fun activities and exercises that focus on self-discovery and exploration, nourishing our sense of well-being and allowing us to access the creative part of ourselves that can become dormant in the business of day-to-day life.

Participants are encouraged to bring along a sketchbook/notebook to use during the workshop.
