For those of you who have registered for the symposium–many thanks! Here is a MN Restaurant list; some are near the Carondolet Center. Remember that there is a continental breakfast and networking luncheon included in your registration fee–but we’re on our own for dinner.
If you arrive Friday before 7:30, there will be a memorial service for Patricia Monaghan at the Carondolet Center. If you plan to stay over Saturday night, we have discovered some wonderful theatre offerings that might interest you. They are also included on the Restaurant List.
We will see you in St. Paul!
We are honored to offer the 2013 Brigit Award for Excellence in the Arts to Lydia Ruyle. Lydia is an artist scholar emeritus of the Visual Arts faculty, University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado, where The Lydia Ruyle Room for Women Artists was dedicated in 2010. In April 2013, the University presented Lydia with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Few artists can claim to have profoundly expanded and improved contemporary images of women. Lydia is beloved around the globe for her stunning presentation of multicultural goddesses and symbols of divinity. Her Goddess Icon Banner Project began in 1995 with 18 banners created for exhibit in Ephesus, and has grown to include representations of over 295 goddesses. The Brigit Award recognizes not only this great body of work but also Lydia’s dedicated scholarship in researching these diverse, inspiring images.
Sid Reger and Dawn Work-Makinne present the Brigit Award to Lydia in St. Paul, while Lydia’s Gobekli Tepe Sheela banner dances in the background.
The Mankato State University (MN) will hold its 31st Annual Women and Spirituality Conference on October 12-13, 2013, on the university campus.
