This workshop is about writing in your own rhythms, using your own language, and telling your own story.

Nancy Slonim Aronie says, I cant teach writing. I dont think anyone can. But I can make it safe and Ive learned when people feel safe, they go deep. The writing gets more powerful, the heart goes deeper, and the words flow faster. Getting the story of what happened to you out of your body means you dont have to carry the weight of it around anymore. When people ask if its therapy,

I answer, No, its therapeutic to write the truth.

This workshop is about undoing the damage of school where red pens corrected spelling and grammar and stopped so many of us in our tracks, mid-sentence in our story.

In these funky, frenetic times, we need our feet on the ground, our instincts intact, and our intuition in full force. Being true to the signs and signals that come from within is our survival art, not to mention a way to move with integrity in a world in flux.

Hidden in chaos, like the eye of the hurricane, is the moving center, our power center, a place deep in our belly that holds our equilibrium and harmony. The way to this center is a deep medicine journey, a journey of blood, bones, and sweat—nothing less than an intimate affair with ourself.

When we are this connected to our true self, we respond instinctively and intuitively, rather than from fear or habit. We know when to stay and when to go, when to speak and when to be silent, when to be patient and when to push, when to rush full tilt and when to be still.

And so we move. Fueled by the ecstatic language of the 5Rhythms®, a cathartic form of dance, this is movement as spiritual practice, a dancing, kinetic prayer of connection to the unpredictable mystery of it all.

For the past seven years, Omegas Women & Power conferences have been attended by thousands of women from around the world. Hailed for their groundbreaking speakers and uplifting community atmosphere, the gatherings have helped define an emerging womens movement that balances inner wisdom with outer action.

This year we are breaking new ground again and addressing a timely topic, the need for women of different ages to gather and inspire each other across the generations. Our speakers and workshop leaders are trailblazers from several generations who will be in conversation with each other and us throughout the weekend.

In an era when womens wisdom is needed more than ever, it will take all of us to weave the lessons learned in past generations into the realities facing women today. During the weekend—in keynote talks, breakout workshops, informal conversations, and evening entertainment—we have the unique experience to hear from and connect with women from different generations, to empower each other, and to discuss the big questions facing women today.
