Spring Cleaning for the Soul: A Fresh Start for 2010
NY WICT's Skills To Succeed Series Continues with "Spring Cleaning for the Soul: A Fresh Start for 2010," led by Kristina Leonardi, Founder of The Women's Mosaic.
Spring is a time for rebirth, renewal and reawakening. It’s a time when many people dust off their homes and open the windows to let the fresh air in and stale air out – come listen to Kristina Leonardi as she talks about doing the same for your soul! The New Year is also a great time to review where you are at, make adjustments and revise goals to get you where you want to be.
Examine what no longer serves a purpose in your life, and what ideas, work, or relationships need to be let go of or revised. Take this time to stop and reflect on where you are at this moment to gain clarity for making 2010 your best, most fulfilled year yet!
Note: This is a brown bag event. Bring your own lunch.
Topics include: * Viewing your life from a broader perspective in order to gain clarity and awareness of blocks and imbalances * Looking at life patterns that need to change * Clearing mental, emotional and physical clutter * How relationships may be holding you back from moving forward * Using your personal power to achieve the life you want * Unique and creative ways to detox mind, body and spirit * Insights and tools for helping you make the changes you need to grow

The Purity Myth: How America's Obsession
with Virginity is Hurting Young Women
Paradigm Shift NYC is hosting a discussion with Jessica Valenti, Author & Feministing.com Founder & Editor about her latest book, The Purity Myth.
The U.S. is obsessed with virginity from the media to schools to government agencies. The Purity Myth is an important and timely critique of about why this is so, and why it's problematic for girls and women. Analyzing cultural stereotypes and media messages, Jessica Valenti reveals the overt and hidden ways our society links a woman's worth to her sexuality rather than to values like honesty, kindness, and altruism. Valenti takes on issues ranging from abstinence-only education to pornography and exposes the legal and social punishments that women who dare to have sex endure. Importantly, she also offers solutions that pave the way for a future without a damaging emphasis on virginity, including a call to rethink male sexuality and reframe the idea of "losing it." With Valenti's usual balance of intelligence and wit, The Purity Myth presents a powerful and revolutionary argument that valuing girls and women for their sexuality needs to stop-and outlines a new vision for how it can happen.

Location: The Tank, 354 West 45th St
