A Gift to the Silenced
You hold space with us in this world for diverse women’s voices. It is the call of our times to reach together across limitations to connect in rooms of our own making and to amplify each other’s voices and our creative work. We are excited to share a new vision for AROHO gatherings, Global Summer Camp. This is one way we are making more room. Inspired by women’s requests in The Q and our recent “Voices of...
Global Summer Camp
AROHO’s Global Summer Camp Our Room Our Work Our Way Once upon a time, before the COVID-19 Pandemic stopped the planes in the sky and the people from gathering, there were women writers and artists who met in the high desert ruled by Pedernal and millions of night stars. They came together in circles of all sizes until they were filled with each other’s stories and the possibilities of connection. They laid down their armor by...

Names are in bold for those who have provided more about where...
In a Time Apart, What Does It Mean to Have a Room of Your Own?
In a time spent apart, our creativity becomes resourceful. Our rituals are a reminder of what roots us. Our community and virtual acts of connection are all the more vital, and yet the claim to our own space all the more necessary, too. What does it mean now to have room of your own? Has it changed or remained the same? If a photograph, an essay, a poem, a piece of art could reflect your “room” in these historic days, what...
