This group seeks to open up a space for people to talk, on both conceptual and personal levels, about gender, particularly with concern for feminist issues;  this has historically spilled over into discussion of other forms of marginalization and privilege.

We are here to change our own awareness and the …

Who Is TCAD Seattle?  On May 23, Muhammad Yunus spoke at Seattle Town Hall and showed a trailer for a inspirational documentary he's in, called "To Catch A Dollar," due out in September.

Alternate names for the group are "Women's Space" or “Wednesday Women” (as on the meeting room door sign—for the sake of anonymity). Together we graw in AWE: Authenticity, Wholeness, Empowerment. A woman who …

The Bellingham Artistic Christians Network will be comprised of artistically talented Christians (and their fans, patrons and supporters). It will be for people who strongly desire to empower one another to make the most of their talents for the sake of the kingdom of God. Starting this local group is the next phase in a project on which I began working more than 10 years ago. The culmination of the project, I hope, will be the creation of a rural residential arts colony specifically for Christi …

Hi to everyone! My name is Tanya.
