Goddess Gathering, 18th & 19th February, Clonakilty
Goddess Gathering aims to hold spaces for women to gather, physically & virtually, in love, to gain inspiration & strength while connecting with, & embodying, the Divine Feminine within ourselves & creating new ways of being in the world.
One of the ways in which we do this is to hold physical gatherings that are either for women only or that are focused on feminine energy; the Spring Gathering in February 2011 is a physical gathering of remarkable women in the beautiful setting of West Cork on the south west coast of Ireland.

Endangered Species Summit, London, 4th March, 2011
At the summit, body image activists from all over the world will be talking about the hot topics in their countries, the positive changes that are being made and the issues that still need to be addressed. I know that there is a lot of interest in the topic of body image and I wanted to invite members of the Cork Feminista to meet with me ahead of the summit to share their views and ideas so that their voices are heard at the international event in March.

A Carnival of Feminist Cultural Activism, University of York, UK, 3-5 March 2011
This carnival is part-festival, part-conference. We seek to bring together artists, activists and academics from many nations to learn from each other, celebrate our creativity, and advance feminist work. We ask, can feminist art save the world, and if so, how?
Turn the Light On: An arts day for women filmmakers, artists, photographers, March 2011
