“This is the journey of liberation! It is liberating ourselves from passivity to becoming part of the wave that starts where it can only start – with changing ourselves. The ripple effects of changing our own lives will produce the waves of liberation that can challenge the poverty of isolation and economy that is crippling us all. To change the world, we need to believe in the power of our check, and write it! The power of our arms and wave them! The power of our voice – and sing the line we were meant to sing from the day we were born! Not alone. But in unison. To create a women’s choir that will reach 5.6 million people… and so many more.” -Karen Keating Ansara, Keynote speaker and Wellspring Award Honoree
Thank you to everyone who participated in our 15th Annual Women Honoring Women Luncheon, Celebrating Journeys of Liberation. You inspired us all! We will make a video available of Karen’s remarks soon and will pass on a link to you when it is available. Some of you asked for more information on some of the resources Karen referred to:
-Eric Whitacre’s virtual choir
-Tina Rosenberg, Join the Club: How Peer Pressure Can Transform the World
Thank you for your support of Wellspring House. Your caring is translated through your financial gifts, volunteering and donations and you are making a difference.
