Sometimes we feel disconnected from the experience of pleasure. Sometimes life gets in the way of us experiencing the deepest forms of pleasure. What is holding you back from experiencing pleasure and desire in your daily life? How can you rekindle flames of desire that might be smothered right now? What are the things that make you feel most alive? How can you work to bring those aspects of your life into greater alignment with how you live on a day-to-day basis? Water, and therefore, flow, lives in the second chakra, the home of our sexuality, our sensual selves, our desire. When we get stuck in our attachments, we dam the flow of pleasure in our lives. In this workshop we will use movement, meditation, reflection and group exercises to “unstuck” ourselves, create clarity about how to churn the butters of deliciousness in our lives, and open the second chakra to embrace pleasure and desire in a new way.

Amy Jo Goddard is a professional sexuality educator, artist, writer, activist, and sex and relationship coach.

Reading and discussion with Amelia Klem Osterud, a tattooed academic librarian from Wisconsin. She has a master’s degree in history from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and writes and lectures on the subject. This is her first book. Visit her author blog at www.tattooedladyhistory.vox.com

RSVP on Facebook (not required)

Living in a time when it was scandalous even to show a bit of ankle, a small number of courageous women covered their bodies in tattoos and traveled the country, performing nearly nude on carnival stages. These gutsy women spun amazing stories for captive audiences about abductions and forced tattooing at the hands of savages, but little has been shared of their real lives. Though they spawned a cultural movement–almost a quarter of Americans now have tattoos–these women have largely faded into history.

The first book of its kind, The Tattooed Lady uncovers the true stories behind these women, bringing them out of the sideshow realm and into their working class realities. Combining thorough research with more than a hundred historical photos, this social history explores tattoo origins, women’s history, and circus lore. A fascinating read, The Tattooed Lady pays tribute to a group of unique and amazing women whose legacy lives on.

Check out Paradigm Shift’s Janice Formichella’s review of the book here!

March 12th –  April 10th  2010 – Opening Show on March 12th 7:00 PM – 10:00PM

About the show:

“Femicide” is defined as the systematic killing of women for various
reasons, usually cultural or domestic. Femicide is seen as a gender
crime. Most of the women were raped before being murdered and some
were mutilated, tortured and dismembered. It is an epidemic of gross
proportions. The mutilation, rape and murder of women along the
US/Mexico border, Congo, Guatemala, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq has
become an annual statistic, with little mainstream media coverage and
even less national outcry. And the worse part of it is that many of
these disappearances are not even investigated, they literally
disappear, vanish and are wiped from legibility.

How can rapes, incest, beatings and mutilations in such places like
the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bosnia, Darfur, Afghanistan and
Haiti go unanswered? Where Femicide, the systematic and planned
destruction of the female population, is being used as a tactic of war
to clear villages, pillage mines and destroy the fabric of Congolese
society.

Art by Mia introduces “Femicide”… bringing it to the forefront through
visual arts, poetry and music. More than thirty works by over ten
emerging and established artists will be on display. They will evoke
emotion, create dialogue and bring the coldest soul to its knees. The
exhibit’s focus is to bring awareness to the atrocity of female
killing all over the world.

“The Role of Corporate Social Responsibility in Improving Women’s Lives Around the World”

Join us for this exciting webseminar where representatives from Royal Dutch Shell, General Mills and Unilever will discuss their Corporate Social Responsibility programs and how it is impacting women all across the world.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainability and ‘Going Green’ has emerged as a new management paradigm for safeguarding a company’s brand reputation, engaging employees, maintaining customers and driving revenue. Our leadership in the 21st century is increasingly being defined by innovative approaches that integrate sustainability and profitability.

Women perform 66 percent of the world’s work, and produce 50 percent of the food, yet earn only 10 percent of the income and own 1 percent of the property.

Through CR, companies are empowering women in communities around the world to fulfill their potential by reducing poverty and driving economic growth. They are providing women with access to healthcare, job training, technology advancement and education while boosting their confidence and encouraging them to make social change.

Empowering women is a critical component of CR initiatives and ‘How’ an organization can best develop and incorporate initiatives into their core, everyday business practices.

In honor of International Women’s Day, we will explore how some top companies are changing the world by empowering women, learn more about their innovative programs, and how they are having a global impact on women by engaging in conscious commerce.

The seminar will be moderated by an early pioneer in corporate social responsibility, Samantha Taylor, Founder of Reputation Dynamics, and will feature presenters Josefine van Zanten, Vice President, Diversity & Inclusion from Royal Dutch Shell; Ellen Goldberg Luger, Executive Director General Mills Foundation and Vice President, General Mills and a representative from Unilever.

Josefine van Zanten from Royal Dutch Shell will address:
- A development programme that is specifically designed for women
- How participants benefit including expanded networking and more visible roles
- Improved advancement potential of women
- How these women give back to their communities through more active external participation

Ellen Goldberg Luger from General Mills will discuss:
- General Mills’ women and children hunger initiatives
- Projects that focus on empowering women around agriculture and livelihood
- How they are working in Sub-Saharan Africa to help women start small businesses
- Their great impact on the communities

A representative from Unilever will also discuss their programs in Bangladesh that help women in rural areas by providing courses in entrepreneurship skills, helping them become financially empowered and providing them with scholarships to obtain degrees in different fields of study.

Our web seminars are easy and incredibly convenient. You just need a phone for audio and a separate Internet connection (dial-up is fine) to view slides and presentation materials. It all takes place in real time so you can participate in live Q & A with the presenters without leaving your desk or conference room.
