Becoming Our Own Role Models
Women's Support

by Madisyn Taylor

There was a time where women stood together in a bond of sisterhood, women supporting women.


As women embrace the fullness of who they are as individuals, they may find themselves supporting other women, helping others to reach the level of inner comfort and outer freedom that they themselves have found. Among those who are less sure of themselves and their place in the world, it may be more common to criticize other women than to seek their help. But there are things that a woman can only learn from another woman, as there are things about being a man that can only be learned from other men. We all recognize that we have much to learn from each other regardless of gender, but sometimes we could use a supportive role model that gives us a more precise example of what and who we can become.

There was a time where women stood together in a bond of sisterhood, women supporting women. It is only natural that the pendulum swings out of balance for a while so that we may have the experience of what we do not want. It is up to women to bring the pendulum back into balance and bring back the sacred sisterhood we yearn for at our core.

If we envision a world where women support each other and help each other find their place in an ever-changing world, then we can become the change we want to see. Jealousy, envy, criticism, and judgment are refuges for the insecure. As we help others to become self-assured, we create a world in which all people help each other, regardless of gender. Only women can make the change in how women are seen and understood, not just by other women but by the world at large. The way we speak about each other to other women and to the men in our lives informs everyone to treat us with the respect that all women, and all people, deserve.

Way of Story Writing Course
by Catherine Ann Jones

Our world is made up of stories. If you don't like the one you're in, write a better one. Like your Soul, the soul of story is a combination of craft and magic, a uniting of head and heart. We live in a world of too much separation and pain and at the same time for many writers, one that recognizes the power of ending that separation by illuminating the oneness of life through creating powerful characters that live in our individual and collective psyche awaiting release. Writing is a powerful tool of self-exploration. Join master story teller, Catherine Ann Jones as we discover the the how's and why's of writing great stories that have impact and resonance through personal experience and the inspiring insights of other artists, writers, poets and painters. You'll leave this class more prepared than ever to create stories that enlighten and empower action. That's the only thing that can help transform a highly dysfunctional and dangerous world. The writer has that kind of po! tential power whether writing memoir, short stories, novels, plays. or screenplays.
