 Contemporary Latina Authors Panel
We've put together an outstanding group of southern California Latina authors and have been hitting the road as of late. There are six of us (myself, Mary Castillo, Margo Candela, Reyna Grande, Sarah Rafael Garcia, and Sandra Lopez) but usually on these panels we get anywhere from three to four authors. It's fabulous for us, because writing is such a solitary job and when we get together we can catch up, talk about projects, share the joys of writing with the muse and all the highs and lows of dealing with editors and pop culture. We talk about our writing process, the influences of our family, our love of reading and libraries, and so much more. We've developed quite the camraderie and often tease each other or ask for our favorite passages during readings. We show the diversity of writings.We give each other props and support. Check these fabulous writers out!

The panel that we create is dynamic, inspiring and entertaining. We have toured at libraries, conferences, universities, bookstores.

Ecologically-Minded Pagans in Action
As those who hold the earth at our spiritual core, we should be the ones leading the charge in conservation and sustainability. To preserve species and spaces threatened by our mere existence, we must go beyond the drum circle and visualization dance to find for ourselves a bold land ethic with humans as part, not conquerors, of nature. Discover how the combination of our genetic disposition to biophilia (the innate affinity for the natural world), bio-diversity and direct action lead to creative conservation. Witchcraft has been dubbed a “religion of ecology,” let’s educate ourselves to protect Mother’s Earth’s diverse beauty.
