Join Grailville Retreat & Program Center, Women’s Way of Ohio/Kentucky and Women Writing for a Change, as we offer A Sunday with Carrie Newcomer on May 20, 2012. Carrie Newcomer is a unique breed of singer/songwriter. She is the kind who illuminates life with startling depth, humor and clarity. She has been described as "a soaring songstress" by Billboard, a "prairie mystic" by the Boston Globe, and Rolling Stone has said that she "asks all the right questions." Carrie is one of the definitive voices of the Heartland and progressive spirituality.

A Sunday with Carrie Newcomer includes:

• Our Lives as Sacred Story: A Creative Exploration Of The Heart and Spirit of Our Experience from 1-4 pm
  Carrie Newcomer invites participants to explore and honor the depth, grace and wonder of our own stories. This workshop will use conversation, exploratory writing, group and individual experiences designed to facilitate a spiritual framing of our daily lives and inspire us to ponder the beauty and meaning of our personal histories. This workshop has been developed to be very safe, nurturing and encouraging. It welcomes all, including those who have previous experience in writing or creative expression, as well as those who are interested in exploring new ways to tell their own personal and spiritual story. (Note: space is limited )
• Grailville Sunday Supper at 5:30 pm
  Freshly prepared by our wonderful kitchen staff, incorporating Grailville Grown and other local ingredients; vegetarian options are available. Enjoy a healthy, well-balanced and tasty meal while admiring the display of Grailville’s annual Quilt Show, Necessary Beauty: The Art of Women, in our Dining Room Art Gallery.
• Carrie Newcomer Concert at 7 pm, with doors open at 6:30 pm
  Let your ears rejoice this rare southern Ohio concert by Rounder recording artist Carrie Newcomer. Carrie cuts across secular and spiritual boundaries and is one of the most notable singer-songwriters working within the progressive spiritual continuum.
