WISE

We established this women's companion group five years ago as an opportunity for like-minded and like-spirited women to meet one another as they journey on their personal spiritual path. Since then WISE has been dedicated to hosting events which are centered around the healing arts, personal growth and spiritual direction.
join us for our 5th Annual weekend of reinvention and revitalization of your spiritual center. Give yourself the gift of time to pray, meditate and participate in workshops, performances, readings, yoga and many other activities. Share your spiritual journey with other women of many faiths who work and/or live in the community of healing, hospice, nursing, ministry and the arts. Reach Out

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: LUCY LUNA
Lucy LunaLucy Luna is a Salvadoran sociologist, artist and poet. Her life's work is to empower marginalized women and their children. As the leader of ASAPROSAR's (Salvadoran Association for Rural Health) Barefoot Angel's Program, Lucy brings hope and inspiration to mothers and their children who live by scavenging sellable items from the local dump to sell in the crowded city market place. Using the power of micro-lending, community development and educational resources including the arts and theater, Lucy is witness to miracle amidst the despair of poverty. "Images of Our Lives" is an exhibit of photographs taken by their children that reflect the day to day challenges of life in this third world country. Through the children's eyes, you will find reason for despair but also for hope as you witness the transformative and healing power of creative expression.
