The sculptures are on permanent exhibition at the following locations: The Central Exchange Education Center Overland Park, Kansas Canyon Ranch Tucson, Arizona Women's Center Federal Way, Washington Scripps Women's Center La Jolla, California Workshops Healing, health, whole and holy all come from the same root words: the Saxon "hal" - to make whole, to bring the parts together, to resolve differences. In the multimedia presentations, facilitated workshops, and the repetition of the affirming music, The Real Women project expects to: • Explore belief systems about beauty • Examine whether belief systems have a positive effect on well-being • Explore the uses of time, money and energy to create well-being • Challenge individuals and groups to come up with definitions of beauty and choices, which are inclusive of all • Broader definitions of beauty are not only more inclusive, but enhance and affirm one's own sense of health, of body, of mind and spirit. • Reach behavioral contracts and action plans, which excite commitment from women. If you're interested in bringing the Real Women Project to your area, or sponsoring a facilitated workshop for your organization, please send an email to [email protected] for more information. These workshops incorporate the Real Women sculptures, video, music and personal stories to empower women and assist in our collective and individual redefining of beauty.
