“Mother”
The stories, the myths, and the emotions
Come be in community with other wonderful women. Join us on a lovely Spring evening as we explore the topic of “Mother” as it relates to us as women, as individuals, and as members of a society. We’ll explore how mothers are glorified and vilified through movies, literature, music, and poetry – while the reality of most mothers lies somewhere in between! Come share your thoughts and feelings as we reflect, laugh and discuss the very complex topic, “Mothers.” Feel free to bring a photo, poem, card or memento that symbolizes “mother” for you.

Tuesday, May 7 ~ 7-9PM
First Congregational Church, Milford

Come to our circle to stretch your imagination around the topic of The World I Want To Live In.   Let us open our minds to transformation as the natural world around us transforms from winter to spring.  Let’s play with our minds and hands as we create a depiction of a new world using the medium of collage.  There are no limits for women.  As we have brought new life to the world, in the form of children, artworks, literature, science, healing arts and so on, let us now bring a new world to our lives.

Wednesday, April 10 ~ 7-9PM

Please reply before April 8 so that sufficient materials can be provided.

Come spin a yarn with us as we celebrate the joy of life. Every year, people of all traditions join with the Irish to celebrate during Saint Patrick’s Day for the pure fun of it. Though the reasons may be different, the outcome is simply connecting with others. Come with a joke, a funny story, or a special tradition to share with your sisters and be prepared to laugh and leave with a smile.

Since our letter to the membership in January, 2012, we have held Spiritual Circle II each month, with only two cancellations. The leadership has rotated between several Peer Leaders. Luminaria was beautiful and great fun for the organizers as well as the women attending. Book Club has also been held monthly with rotating leadership.

We would like some fresh thinking from women who are interested in the future of WCW. The Board of Directors see three possible options; 1) Continue as is with the hope that more women with a passion for revival will contribute. 2) Dissolve the organization. 3) Taking a year off and revisiting 1 & 2 in April of 2014.

WCW exists for the women of our membership and the larger community. We are totally volunteer, egalitarian in structure, empowering in nature and based on the principle that each woman deserves respect and a voice in determining her own course in life. These seem to us as principles worth standing up for. How about you?

Thank you for your attention.

Cordially,
Jane I. LaForce, Treasurer & Christine Moyer, President

We always have a choice, Pema Chödrön teaches: We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us and make us increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us and make us kinder. Here, Pema provides tools to deal with the problems and difficulties that life throws our way. This wisdom is always available to us, she teaches, but we usually block it with habitual patterns rooted in fear. Beyond that fear lies a state of openheartedness and tenderness. This book teaches us how to awaken our basic goodness and connect with others, to accept ourselves and others—complete with faults and imperfections, and to stay in the present moment by seeing through the strategies of ego that cause us to resist life as it is.

Join us as we explore the magic of love in its many expressions and its many guises.  As a famous song writer once wrote, “What the world needs now is love, sweet love.”  We will reflect on the best ways for us to give and receive love in this special month dedicated to Lovers.
