Gather the Women Petaluma, CA

Women of the Northbay Region of California gathered in Petaluma for the Gather the Women (GTW) Fall Congress in October 2008. Speakers Marilyn Nyborg, GTW president; Jean Shinoda Bolen, author and Jungian analyst; and local healers Jan Boddie and Marystella Church spoke to more than 60 women. Women participated in a labyrinth walk with Virginia Grace-Braun and a Walesongs performance with performance artist Diana Marto and cellist Suellen Primost. Local circle facilitators led break-out circles to discuss the theme Celebrating Our Connections. A potluck lunch added to the celebration.

I play this on fiddle! But my version has a less dotted rhythm, and this one doesn't have gracenotes or ornamentation.
