Building Community: Women’s Coffee and Conversation
You are invited to join us on Sunday, January 29 at 2pm for a coffee and some great conversation. This event is facilitated by Christine Wagner and Karen Hodges and will take place at Destiny Allison Fine Art. Read on to understand why this coffee is happening and what it is about:
Dear Destiny,
Congratulations to you in the achievement of the 2011 Businesswoman of the Year award!
We are especially intrigued by your comment about your contribution – “I do what I do because it is the Work I do that feeds my soul.” Far too many women do not have an inkling what that may be for them. Women’s work sometimes can seem very far from the “capital W” Work that refers to a life calling or purpose. Our strengths, our talents, the gifts that light us up seem to remain dormant in the face of the “shoulds” – no, the “musts” – that represent our world. Why?
We are the mothers, the daughters, the housewives, the caretakers. We bring groceries and meals to neighbors who are ill or unable to prepare meals for themselves. This is our work, and perhaps we also do “work” that helps pay the bills…but how much of this work is respected in today’s society?
We are creating the 21st century roadmap for all women. And there is no roadmap to adulthood for our daughters to follow.
What can we do to trust our unique voice as women and see its importance to the business community and the world at large? What are the gifts and talents that women bring to the table both in business and in our communities? How can we discern our voice as women, individually and collectively?
What message is the media transmitting to our daughters? Feminist thinking is clear that women are much more than one-dimensionally defined sex symbols. Our daughters see images of scantily clad women flaunting their bodies. The message is consistent and repetitive, but untrue. A woman’s sexual self is NOT the only real power women have.
What can we do as women to claim our powers of collaboration; authentic and reflective listening; responsiveness and attunement? The virtues of feminist thinking are widely known and appreciated. At the world peace summit in Vancouver in 2009, the Dalai Lama proclaimed that the world will be saved by the Western woman. How can claiming our own voices and power have world impact? And how can we include our young girls and teenagers to sustain it?
We are energized by the opening your award and response have created — and find the dialogue rich and multi-faceted. We welcome being part of this conversation, hearing the voices and insights of women in our community.

FREE SCREENING OF “THRIVE — WHAT ON EARTH WILL IT TAKE”

In spite of the snowstorm and icy roads the December showing had a full house.
Join Karen “Tallkat” Conley on Saturday January 7, 2011 at 1:00 PM for a really cool combination event at no charge at The Performance Space at La Tienda:
1) See Thrive: What on Earth Will it Take? The movie produced by Foster Gamble. Enjoy a creative group discussion on the Thrive subject matter following the film.
2) After the discussion, Occupy Santa Fe will present “We Are The 99%.
ARE YOU IN THE 99%
(This event will begin at approximately 4 pm for those who are not attending the film)
If you make less than 2.5 million a year you probably are in the 99%
Members of Occupy Santa Fe who live in Eldorado will be having an informational meeting at La Tienda on Saturday January 7th at 4 pm. (You could drop by after the free screening of THRIVE in the Performance Space)
OSF is not affiliated with any political party so all Republicans and Democrats and everyone to the right and left of them is welcome.
The top one percent of Americans controls 42% of the wealth in our country and the gap between rich and poor is the largest in history. What has happened to the Middle Class? Two women who will speak have homes now in the foreclosure process here in Eldorado The Occupy Santa Fe movement has been “The Movement different”: no violence … no rioting … great cooperation with the Police and mayor’s office. There are many plans for Occupy 2012 and, there are other people and other movements which are beginning to address the issues of greed, corruption and wealth buying the justice and political systems. You will be able to ask questions, offer comments (good or bad) and find out some way to stand-up for your beliefs. For information contact cscot@comcast.net
Holiday Celebration on Saturday, December 17
Two great art openings this weekend
On December 10, from 5 – 7 pm, join Destiny Allison Fine Art as we welcome renowned jeweler, Cynthia Jones.
Destiny Allison Fine Art gallery is holding a jewelry trunk show, featuring the work of jeweler Cynthia Jones. There is an understated feminine certitude to the delicately fashioned jewelry of Cynthia Jones. Her hand-crafted pieces are very contemporary, and convey a sense of unfettered spatiality, accomplished by just the right amount of strength built into the construct of her designs. The work is a reflection of Cynthia herself, an artist whose confidence in her own abilities and engineering sense has set her imagination free.
Cynthia received a B.S. in Metalsmithing/Jewelry from Southern Connecticut State University, afterwards entering a two-year apprenticeship with a jeweler where she honed her technical and business skills. Her signature CJJ line of work is found in stores and galleries across the country.
Cynthia will have a large collection of her surprisingly affordable work at the trunk show, and mention this newsletter to receive a 10% discount on all the items she brings. To view Cynthia’s full collection of earrings, bracelets, neck pieces and rings, go to www.cynthiajonesjewelry.com
Also on Saturday, December 10, join The Exhibit Space in welcoming Visual Synergy.
Shelley Campbell in Concert
The Performance Space is pleased to welcome Shelley Campbell for her debut concert performance. Join us for an evening of song and live music at its finest.
Shelley Campbell, an up and coming singer, will inspire and delight her audience in her debut concert as a solo artist Dec.2nd! Growing up in Albuquerque one of her musical experiences included singing back-up for “The Steve O’Neil Band” in the 80’s, which opened up for “The Motels”. Having then lived on Kauai until 2004, she appeared on “Hawaii Stars,” Hawaii’s version of American Idol, recorded a song for the soundtrack of the surf movie “Bali Hai” titled “The Last Illusion.” and won the talent portion of the “Miss Kauai” pageant with her rendition of the song “Dancing Bird” by Holly Near. Shelley’s lifelong passion for her singing career is to serve and connect with her audience in a more authentic, intimate, and meaningful way. One that will awaken, inspire and foster a sense of divinity & deeper connection to ourselves and each other. With the tenderness and yearning of her voice her deepest desire is to nourish the soul and enlighten the mind. The quality of her voice has been described as angelic, soulful, and heartwarming and has often moved people to tears. She will be accompanied by Michael Hall on piano, Darragh Nagle on guitar, and Christina Boiano & Diana James on vocals. Shelley is currently working on her first CD, due out in 2012.
Friday, December 2 at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $10.
The Performance Space is located just 15 minutes from downtown Santa Fe. Go to http://www.ThePerformanceSpace.com for more information.
Literary and Performing Arts come to La Tienda
As part of our ongoing efforts to support artists and promote a gathering rich with creative juices, we are beginning to incorporate the arts across multiple disciplines.
On November 15 at 10 am in The Performance Space, we welcome Santa Fe Improv at La Tienda. Santa Fe Improv is offering a free class for seniors (55 and above) who want to try their hand at this incredibly fun and creative expression. The free class will be followed by a regular class schedule.
On November 16 at 6:30pm in The Performance Space, join us for a reading by published poets and fiction writers. There is a suggested entrance fee of $2 (but if you can’t afford it, it’s ok).
On December 1 at 5:30 pm at Destiny Allison Fine Art, photographer and publisher Eric Swanson will present a free talk on creative economy and how artists can create an income stream in this challenging time.
Coming soon, La Tienda will launch it’s independent film series. Some good people have stepped forward to steer this initiative but could use some help. If you are interested in helping to support independent film makers and their films, call Destiny at (505) 428-0024.
La Tienda is committed to being more than a shopping center. It’s goals are to build community and to promote artists as well as the work they produce. Emerging artists and established artists need a place where they are valued as much as the work they do. Santa Fe is home to thousands of artists but there are few places where they can get together, learn from each other, and participate in an environment that is engaging, stimulating and diverse. La Tienda is that place!
