What our world needs now is greater understanding.
Our perceptions create our realities. How we view other people influences our opinions of them, and motivates our behavior toward them. Too often, unfortunately, we know too little about others; our perceptions are often incomplete at best, inaccurate at worst. Learning more makes for healthier relationships.
On March 9, 2025, from 1-3 p.m. at Studio B Art Gallery, join facilitator Clare Novak who spent her 30-year profession working in over 20 countries and visiting over 46 to explore and discuss our existing understanding of women and men across cultures. Clare worked with locally-owned companies to increase the number of women in the paid workforce.
To explore Clare's musings prior to our gathering, visit https://www.clarenovak.com/ The homepage map is interactive and will take you to specific countries or, if you prefer lists, there is a destination list.
Hear. Think. Imagine. Discuss. Write. The event is offered free at Studio B, 39A E Philadelphia Ave, Boyertown, PA 19512. Light refreshments are served. www.studiobbb.org.
Thank you, Craig for sharing your story of how, despite what we see, or are told, and therefore judge on the surface harshly (and sometimes violently), there is a story behind it, a human story we know nothing of.

Thank you, Jane for the wonderful essay. Truth is truth. The message from God 25 years ago or 25,000 years ago is still the same. Thank you for your insights and for sharing.
I say this with no sarcasm, condescension, or malice:
Isn't it remarkable how the inner child lives within us no matter how many years have passed?
