Imagine the power and the possibilities when the indigenous sisters of the world and their sisters here in Malibu unite. Imagine the wisdom shared and the opportunities for global change that the union could generate. Imagine a world where each woman's voice joins into a choir of intuition and hope, a literal compass that can guide us all to a better future. You may say I'm a dreamer, but not the only one.
Please join us for a panel of women sharing their wisdom. Ours is a story of feminine energy and the power to create life, and with the help of our indigenous sisters, our words will create a powerful energy that we will release into the universe. Join us at Tracy Park Gallery for a life-changing discussion as the women on our panel share their thoughts on how the power of women returning to origin can change everything.
