THE POWER OF WORDS: LIBERATING YOURSELF AND THE WORLD
THROUGH THE SPOKEN, WRITTEN AND SUNG WORD
A conference at Goddard College, Aug. 6-9, 2005,
Plainfield, VT.

Explore how we can use our words – written, spoken or
sung – to make community, deepen healing, witness one
another, wake ourselves up, and foster empowerment and
transformation. Sponsored by Goddard College’s
Transformative Language Arts degree program, this
conference features experiential workshops on a wide
range of the expressive language arts, panels on right
livelihood and certification and training options,
performances and celebrations, an open mic, and time
to write, walk in the woods, and seek greater freedom
for ourselves and our communities through the power of
words. Conference costs: $175 early bird special by
June 1/$200 afterwards. Room and board available at
the college for an additional, and quite reasonable,
fee. A number of partial scholarships are available,
including scholarships for people of color through the
Florence Roxanne Fund.

Transformative Language Arts (TLA), part of Goddard
College’s individualized MA program, is a 48-hour MA
degree focused on social and personal transformation
through the spoken and written word. Goddard College,
