Book Club is Back!
Join us on the first Sunday of each month from 3-5 pm at WWf(a)C for a book discussion. Our selections will explore the theme "Fiction and Memoir for Writers."
December Selection:
The Glass Castle
by Jeannette Walls
December 1, 2013
3-5 pm
The Book Group follows the processes used at WWf(a)C, to offer an intentional circle using both writing and conversation to broaden and deepen our understanding of each book. We will explore the obvious and not-so-obvious places where we discover, or in some cases the characters themselves discover, the conscious-feminine. We will also discuss plot, structure, voice and narrative, and which of these enabled us on our journey with these characters and story.
2014 dates: January 5, February 2, March 2, April 6, May 4

Friday Salons
Next Salon: November 15th
6:30 pm - potluck
7pm- discussion begins
Topic:
"The Creative Process
across Art Forms"
"When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college - that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, "You mean they forget?" ~Howard Ikemoto
What is your creative process?
Facilitator, Diane Debevec often claims that she is a visual artist who loves to write. Join her for this next salon as she leads a conversation about the creative process. If you are a creator, an artist, a dabbler of any type, please consider bringing a piece of your work along!

The Conscious Feminine Leadership Academy, 2013 "CFLA is about leadership, and about facilitating, but it is also more. I have learned so much through the readings, teachings and writings, and from being part of the community that is CFLA: self-awareness without self-absorption, presence with intention, transparency with courage, fervor with temperance. I have a sense of peace and purpose, what a gift." ~Laurie Lambert, CFLA 2013 On November 2nd, 2013, nine women will graduate from the Conscious Feminine Leadership Academy (CFLA), in a ceremony to be held at 6906 Plainfield Road.

JOURNALING YOUR WAY THROUGH THE HOLIDAZE:
Maintaining Health and Mindfulness during the Holiday Season
The Holidays have a way of derailing our attempts at healthy living and mindfulness. Before the chaos of "The Holidaze" begins, take some time for yourself and learn ways to navigate your way through the holiday chaos, using your journal as a guide. Through writing, group sharing, and discussion, participants will learn strategies for creating and keeping holiday memories, eating healthy, taking care of themselves in body and mind, and learning to be mindful in the midst of the holiday chaos.
