A Free Event to Honor Grandmothers will be held on Friday, August 26th from 2:00-4:30 p.m. at The Left Bank, 5 Bank Street, North Bennington. This celebration is open to all women in the Grandmother stage of life, regardless of whether they have grandchildren.
Though Ceremony and sharing stories we will honor each other and this stage of life. This event was inspired by The International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. They came together in 2004 and for the past 12 years have traveled to each others homes to establish intercultural and inter-generational dialog and to promote World Peace. Their lives are a testament to the Unity that can be created by honoring the differences between cultures.
We will also reflect upon how we would like to see the role of the Grandmother change in our society.
If you know you will be attending, please email me so that we will have enough chairs. Women will be coming from the 4 Directions.
