Quest of Divinity Circle for Women
"Quest of Divinity" - a year long, bi-weekly, grassroots worship for women of all religions - attempts to reconstruct devalued self-images in women through emphasizing divine attributes within them. The workshop cultivates an ethic of living, working. and "serving" which advocates creating sacred space and experiencing the divine in everyday life. The workshop addresses: "living the divine" in the practical, everyday things we do; changing the notion of service to others to become analogous to worshipping God; practicing spiritual communion by honoring the divine within us; creating sacred space at work and in our family settings; empowering ourselves to be creative women who have the power to make a difference in whatever way we choose, honoring and respecting each other's choices; creating a work ethic that reflects God's purpose for our lives; and practicing excellence in all we do.

Creating a Tour of Violence Project in Your Community
In a riveting thirteen-stop itinerary, a bus takes adults on a tour of violence in their own neighborhoods to see first hand the violent influences to which their children are subjected. Many children have learned to hate by the time they reach the age of five. Participants of the tour discuss what the root causes of violence are that keep children at risk, and most importantly, what adults can do to change this situation. Also, libraries with anti-violence resource centers have established community centers throughout the city or town in which the bus tours are running, allowing citizens access to the materials and resources that will help them address the issues and problems of violence. These resource centers include books, journals, curricula, films and videos, other teaching materials, and the handouts that are available on the bus tour.
