9:00 am – 11:00 – Her-Story: Revealing your story in a circle of womyn
Presented by Esyule Gamache/Spinsterhaven. Using one topic, we will go around the circle and tell a part of our lives, offered as a window into an important part of our lives. Womyn often don’t regard their lives as ‘important’ or valid, but when we speak of our stories, it acts to inspire and yields hidden wisdom to others. This is an ancient way of extending ourselves to our “tribe.” Women only Please.

Through developing lodges for various stages of womanhood, especially the crone lodge, Esyule has discovered the immense importance of telling stories in a group.
