"Women of Radiance Blossoming"

Winter WomanSpirit Conference
was held January 31, February 1 and 2, 2003
at the Clock Tower Convention Center in Rockford, Illinois

We have reached the time in all our lives, maiden, mother, crone, when it is our charge to share the gathering of all of our knowingness and the gifts of our hard work…..All the art, music, love, nurturing and caring * All the knowledge of our bodies, sensual, sexual, mysterious, and tangible *All the emotional and relationship skills * All the practical, hands-on, nitty-gritty, know-how of LIVING in this world * All the awareness from battles won…and lost. At this changing time….this transition moment….We must seize the day….We must be a power to be reckoned with….. It is our world to transform…… Blessed be!

the featured keynote speaker was
Wendy Doniger
Wendy Doniger is the Mircea Eliade Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Chicago.  She received her PhD from Harvard in Sanskrit and Indian Studies and received her D.Phl. in Oriental Studies from Oxford University.  Her topic is The Kamasutra, expanded upon from her new translation of the text for Oxford University Press. The Kamasutra, a text from ancient India, elucidates sexual techniques and the sexual roles of women within a man's world.
