During the last six months, twenty-four women have been testing and improving our first four experimental courses online:
These four courses are now officially open for registration. Our Spring online learning circles will begin 07 April 2008.
We are currently looking for "a few brave women" who would be willing to test-drive three new courses:
Examine your schedule--My days are already so busy that nothing gets done unless I make designated "sacred times" and "sacred spaces" in my life. On Saturday mornings, therefore, I have put my family on notice that they are not to disturb me from 8 to 10 "unless the house is on fire." You may have to do something like this in your household or in your dorm.
“How might your life have been different if there had been a place for you? A place for you to go . . . a place of women to help you find and trust the ancient flow already there within yourself . . .waiting to be released. . . . How might your life be different?” --Circle of Stones by Judith Duerk
Examine your budget--I am always skimping on this or that when it comes to making important things happen. When it comes to my development as a woman, my father mistakingly made the decision to send his boys to college and his girls to work. So, if my future matters (and it does), I have to skimp to do now what he neglected in the past. Meanwhile, if you are living below the poverty line, please apply for tuition assistance. If you are living in luxury, please become a sponsor and help detemined women to fulfill their dreams.
I am reflecting and feeling empowered that there is a place for me and for my contributions in this world. This doesn't mean that I have to prove anything to anyone else with my contributions. It just means that I am valuable, and that I matter. I think in the past I have always subconsciously viewed my life and my contributions as things that I have to justify to others in order to prove that I am worthy. And to the other women in this class -- you are valuable and you matter, too. I treasure the sharing that you have done. -- a participant
Examine your computer--Whether you have internet access at home or you will be renting equiptment at an Internet Cafe, how do you know that your system is ready to make use of the sophisticated technology of Catherine College? Quite easily. Take out five minutes and perform Test #1 and Test #2. Then you'll be ready to start!
