Our events excite,
educate, and enliven!
*As you know In Other Words is a non-profit bookstore. In fact, we are the only surviving non-profit women's bookstore in the country. In an effort to become more sustainable we are now asking for a minimal donation for community events held at the store. Guests will be asked to donate $5 to store events, unless otherwise noted, however, no one will be turned away.Title of Event: Open Mic: The Goddess Returns!
When: Friday, July 3, 2009 6:30 PM Location: In Other Words Women's Books and Resources Description: The Goddess Returns! is a new open-mic at In Other Words, the last surviving non-profit feminist bookstore in Portland, Oregon. All singer/songwriters, spoken word artists, dancers, performance artists and ceremonialists are welcome to perform with us! Come sign up at 6 PM. The show runs from 6:30-8:30 PM, a perfect way to start a Friday night!
The focus will be on honoring the sacred feminine as She incarnates within each of us, male or female, but all music and art is welcome. What does "The Goddess Returns" mean to you? A return to eco-awareness, the recovery of the body and sexuality as sacred, a shift in our power centers as a society, the re-awakening awareness of the many Goddesses we have forgotten? Where does your inner Goddess live and what does She want to say? Come share your dance, song, or stories with us each month! This is a safe and sacred space for women and men of all ages to share and celebrate!
We are asking for a donation of one to five dollars at the door to benefit our beautiful hostess, the In Other Words bookstore. Come co-create this new monthly event with us!
