Hello, Friend of Unity Through Creativity,

Thank you to all who supported us in El Paso Giving Day. We deeply appreciate your gift.

We are honored to be facilitating a 2.5 hour workshop at the J-Win Women's Leadership conference based in Japan on Nov. 4th. 220 women from companies around the country will be attending. Lili Lopez and I will be modeling Feminine Leadership, collaborating with Takumi Komatsu of Azbil Corporation and a team from J-Win to design The Rainbow Eucalyptus-Wisteria Singing Tree of Women's Leadership.

One outcome of the workshop will be a document organized around the five areas of focus of the conference - Politics, Economy, Social Life, Ecology and Technology. Each participant will create art envisioning healing a heartbreak in their subject area, as well as dream for their life and work.

I've prepared a wisteria blossom example for the attendees. My heartache is that raising a family and using our talents to support that family is a battle. My healing Image is a feminine figure embracing those who need nurtured, while flourishing in a complex, connected and technological world.

We will keep you posted on this great adventure.

We are also excited to announce that UTC Board member, De Palazzo, has completed her Innovative Team Building certification, creating The Seagrape Singing Tree of Goodwill made with residents of Five Star Senior Living in Pompano Beach,Florida.
