			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This year, due to considerations of space and time, we will be hosting a very different kind of art show.</strong></p>
<p><strong>On Friday, March 23<sup>rd</sup>, you are invited to bring a piece of your art that you feel best expresses the Feminine Divine in visual form.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Each of you will have a turn to display your work on an easel or table at the front of the room, speak about how and why you created it and what it means to you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>There will be a Wine &amp; Cheese/Meet &amp; Greet the Artists reception at 6:PM, followed at 7:PM by the showing and sharing of art. Afterwards there will be time for the audience and artists to have a lively discussion.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Budhi Kling, artist and art therapist, will make introductions and be the evening’s moderator.</strong></p>
<p><strong>You are welcome to take part spontaneously, but we would appreciate you letting us know if you plan to participate.  Please go to the ‘contact us’ page on the website to reply.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The remaining members of the Producers Circle of the Goddess Festival are altering the format for the 2012 event. Though the past three years were grand and festive celebrations, we lack the energies and resources for a month-long Festival this year. Rather than letting the Festival go completely, we have agreed to put on a 10 day event which would be much less structured and more spontaneous, as well as less work and more fun for the organizers. We trust that this particular incarnation of the Goddess Festival will bring us all together in celebration. We hope you will join us in the co-creation of this event.</p>
