What is peace?  What is the connection between women and peace?  What kind of power facilitates peace?  What is the relationship between inner peace and peace in the world?  How do we bring about just and sustainable peace?

Join a busload of other Central PA women as we journey to the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, NY, (www.eomega.org) to explore questions about women, power and peace at this historic gathering.  This is the 5th Women and Power conference organized by Omega and V-Day – conferences hailed for their courageous speakers and their uplifting, inclusive atmosphere.

Since the Nobel Peace Prize was first awarded in 1901, only 12 recipients have been women.  Four of these remarkable Nobel laureates will grace the Omega stage at this conference.  Each of them started as an ordinary citizen, empowered by the conviction that peace is possible. The achievements of the four laureates presenting at this conference challenge the notion that humankind is doomed to greed and warfare.  The laureates are joined by other groundbreaking peacemakers, activists, artists and leaders from around the world, including Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Eve Ensler, Natalie Merchant and Elizabeth Lesser. 

The 2007 Conference Theme focuses on the necessity for women to stand up for what we have always known; that while conflict may be inevitable, war is not; and while disagreement can foster understanding and growth, violence does not.  The conference highlights bold action steps that women are initiating all over the world in their families, communities, and the public spheres to dignify and legitimize the values of love and communication; to heal societies and individuals from the scars of violence and war; and to create imaginative and effective approaches to conflict.

The Omega Institute is one of the leading holistic learning centers in the United States.

Enjoy the tranquil and beautiful setting, wonderfully prepared mostly vegetarian food and peaceful Sanctuary.  Yoga, meditation, movement and Tai Chi classes are included at no additional cost.
