There's power and great boldness here...In these times where choices seem to be the norm--these women refuse to make them.
Who Does She Think She Is ?
Check out this site---and maybe think of having a house party for a screening of the documentary...you can pre-register to buy the DVD.
"In a half-changed world, women often feel they have to choose: mothering or working? Your children's well-being or your own? In this documentary by award winning filmmaker Pamela Tanner Boll, 5 fierce women refuse to choose between mothering and creativity, partnering and independence, economics and art. The film invites us to consider ancient legacies of women worshipped as cultural muses and modern times where we're hard pressed to name a handful of female artists...
Coming to a theatre near you in late 2008 or early 2009...and if not, consider purchasing the DVD and working with your own group of family, friends, spiritual or artistic communities.

About Beth Patterson
The Virtual Tea House website became 'word-ripe' when, over a cup of jasmine green, I realized that the web has an expanding part to play in the communal aspects of spiritual growth.
With a master's degree in religion, my career spans 30 years in end of life care and child abuse intervention and advocacy.
Here in beautiful Central Oregon, my spiritual homes of the high desert and the mountains are both in proximity. And for good measure, four hours away is Grandmother Ocean and the stunning Oregon Coast.
I'm making decent progress on the goal set by my mother early on: she taught us that the goal of humanity should be to become ever-more eccentric, i.e. more fully human.
Entering the 'forest-dweller' phase of life, I am honored to host the Virtual Tea House for all who wish to explore how our lives are enriched and made new a thousand times each day by the spirituality we embody. Exploring this engagement together is the purpose of the Virtual Tea House.
Welcome! Let's have a cup of virtual tea together and share what brings us joy, what we are being taught by life, how we are leaning into the Big Questions posed to us each day in sometimes 'distressing disguises'.
