Keynote Speaker: Donna DeNomme
"She Who Holds Up the World"
How do you "hold up" your world? How many expectations and responsibilities are you carrying on your back? How many roles do you fulfill every day? Drawing from her popular book, Turtle Wisdom, Donna explains that the turtle is an ancient symbol of feminine wisdom and strength. In Hindu mythology, the tortoise actually supports the world on its back. This Keynote Presentation will include stories about inspirational women like Jane Goodall, Rita Moreno, Marilyn Van Derbur Atler, Wilma Mankiller and Mother Tereas. Learn how, like them, you can continue to carry all that you do, in a way which is healthy and balanced, fulfilled and unfrazzled. Ultimately, Donna gives us "permission to be happy" and to "achieve our greatness." She also gives us an overview of significant changes occurring in our time, and look at the suddenly-real possibility of a woman president. Donna was voted Colorado's "Spiritual Health Guru" by 5280 Magazine. She is the author of the award winning book, Turtle Wisdom: Coming Home to Yourself, and has spent over 25 years assisting clients with their healing, life enrichment and spiritual development. Donna has a degree in Human Development and Families Studies from Cornell University, an advanced certification in Spiritual Coaching, and many years training in alternative therapies and indigenous healing studies.
