Therefore, Ms. Ruth is planning another festival in March of 2009. The keynote speaker, internationally renowned Master Channeler & Intuitive Mentor, Sheryl Blumenthal (www.littleone.us) discussed “Connecting with Our Angels. After bringing the women through a mediation session with the angels Ms. Blumenthal remarked, “I met an amazing group of women and was excited about the entire day.” “Powerful You” Women’s Network Co-Founder, Sue Urda invited women to join her network. “I am grateful that I was asked to introduce Powerful You! to the women gathered. From the looks on their faces as I was speaking to them, I imagine that many of them will join us at future meetings.”

SuZen presented a women’s healing circle ceremony. “The ceremony celebrated who we are as women” explained Ms. Ruth. As part of the circle, all enjoyed a drumming circle with Sharon Silverstein the founder and president of Living At Peace, LLC.

All, including those who got to drum along with Ms. Silverstein, felt the energy in the room.
