Sonoma County, CA, August 26, 2009: A Conversation With Alice Walker is being produced by Palm of Her Hand, and is a benefit for the Margaret Okari Children's Foundation in Kenya, East Africa which works with educating children who have been orphaned by AIDS. Join Alice at the Raven Theater in Healdsburg, on Sunday, October 25th at 3:00 p.m. The afternoon holds live music, tea, chocolate, an art auction, and of course, the gift of hearing from Alice Walker, including poems from her forthcoming book, ‘Hard Times Require Furious Dancing’, as well as a question and answer period.

Shiloh Sophia McCloud, the founder of Palm of Her Hand, will MC the day. The afternoon will conclude with a reception at Electric Rose Gallery on the plaza, which is donating 20% of proceeds to the Foundation.
“If you have ever heard Alice Walker speak, you will know what I mean when I say that her presence is the very impartation of being “peace” even in the middle of a war zone. Whether that war is metaphoric, personal, or political, the space she holds of how we can continue to choose happiness despite our challenges, is riveting and transformational” says Shiloh McCloud.
Alice Walker, a visionary for our times, continues to share her wisdom and inspire our hearts and minds through a series of conversations happening internationally, and online in her “living book”,www.alicewalkersblog.com. From Mexico to Burma, from Rwanda to Egypt, from Berkeley to Healdsburg, we get to share in her experiences through her teachings on topics all of us can relate to: love/hate, justice/injustice, war/awakening. Through all of her work, central messages emerge that are that ultimately call us to compassionate action.
This event, takes place on the 3rd day of a Visionary Conference called Bountiful which features teachings by Bay Area women visionaries on creativity, transformation and thriving during challenging times.
