Workshops
Healing, health, whole and holy all come from the same root words: the Saxon "hal"
- to make whole, to bring the parts together, to resolve differences. In the multimedia
presentations, facilitated workshops, and the repetition of the affirming music,
The Real Women project expects to:
Explore belief systems about beauty
Examine whether belief systems have a positive effect on well-being
Explore the uses of time, money and energy to create well-being
Challenge individuals and groups to come up with definitions of beauty
and choices, which are inclusive of all
Broader definitions of beauty are not only more inclusive, but enhance
and affirm one's own sense of health, of body, of mind and spirit.
Reach behavioral contracts and action plans, which excite commitment from
women.
If you're interested in bringing the Real Women Project
to your area, or sponsoring a facilitated workshop for your organization, please
send an email to [email protected]
for more
information. These workshops incorporate the Real Women sculptures, video, music
and personal stories to empower women and assist in our collective and individual
redefining of beauty.
