The Artists Sound Off Series empowers participants to identify, discuss, and champion existing barriers to success in various and multifaceted disciplines in the arts. This is a brave space to join with a community of peers, to be heard, to share ideas and frustrations, and to elevate one another on a shared journey towards gender and racial equity. International Women’s Day serves as the perfect overture to this bi-weekly evening series beginning March 9th. Athena Project will host these virtual discussions in a continuing effort to better understand and support women in the arts. 

“Factors such as implicit male bias, a cyclical lack of representation, and traditional stereotypical gender roles lead to the suppression of women artists in general.  Women artists of color face suppression from additional factors like institutional racism, affirmative action ‘box checking’, and the inaccessibility of arts education. We are excited to create space to host “town hall style” conversations to identify these barriers and create a plan of action to ensure that women artists can effectively advocate for themselves in the future.” — Angela Astle, Executive Producer and Founder of Athena Project.

The kick-off session will feature women that are leaders in their artistic institutions. We will invite them to speak frankly and honestly about their challenges and successes in the arts.  Their stories will serve to engage, educate, and create a plan of action. The Series will  showcase the following disciplines: 

• Women Leaders of Institutions (03/09)
• Photography, Videography and Graphic Design (03/23)
• Playwriting, Writing, Poetry, and Spoken Word (04/06)
• Fashion Design (04/20)
• Acting, Directing, Dramaturgy, and Technical Design (05/04)
• Comedy and Improv (05/18)
• Music (06/01)
• Visual Arts (06/16)
• Dance and Choreography (06/29)

Coping with the Tensions of Living
• Are you searching for balance in today’s world?
• Do you wonder if there is a way to face stressful situations with love rather than fear?
• Do you have a feeling inside that there is more to life than coping with the challenges of the day?

Spiritually you can shift from coping with the tensions of living to finding a place of inner peace. It is possible to go within and find the answers to anything you face. It may be difficult to believe but the answer to every problem you face is already within you. This does not mean that problems disappear. Yet, can give you hope that you will find a solution. You are soul created from love. Put in this world to learn and grow in spiritual stamina. Make the shift from looking at life as a series of problems to seeing it as an opportunity to gain spiritual freedom!

“At certain times in your life, things are more up in the air than at other times. When they are, you’re living on the edge. Your nerves are frayed, or sometimes you’re being pushed too fast for what you can do. If you don’t get it done, you wonder, then what? Because you do not know. These are the tensions of living.”

“The Holy Spirit is directing each of our lives. It will lead you, and has led you, into the very life and circumstances that you need- the circumstances which spiritually are very good for you.”

Quotes by Harold Klemp, from the Spiritual Wisdom Journal referenced below.

All are welcome to join us for this online spiritual discussion as we find joy and gain insight into our own lives. Seekers will discuss the challenges and spiritual guidance that we experience in our daily lives. Hear others share insights they gained through day dreams, night dreams and intuition. All are welcome to share ideas, ask questions or listen while others speak of their own spiritual journey.

This event is sponsored by ECKANKAR, the Path of Spiritual Freedom, as a community service for people of all faiths and beliefs.

The Spiritual Wisdom Journal titled, “Coping with the Tensions of Living” includes stories from people who are have experienced miracles as they let go of the tension of living and find new insights on how life works. It also contains a spiritual exercise you are welcome to try. This free publication can be viewed or downloaded at:

When have you learned the most about yourself and life? More than likely, it’s the times of trial and tribulation that informed and influenced your journey the most. Adversity pushes us beyond our previously perceived limits — beyond our comfort zone. No doubt, you have learned much over the past few months in light of the COVID-19 crisis. At this moment, we have a choice. Do we choose to be diminished by life OR emboldened? Please join presenter, Jane Barton, to explore the afterglow of adversity—the opportunity to reclaim the authorship of the story of our lives. We need not be victims of our circumstances. The possibility to write a new ending is ours to embrace.

All Together sounds like a sweet song, but the reality is that the compromise underneath is hard work. But communities grow up through hard choices.

All Together means coming back to our hearts and humanity and letting go of the fear and disinformation that keeps us stuck.

It’s about acknowledging our desire to be right and then choosing to do right by each other instead.

And this is the beauty of coming all together: It’s not easy at first, but hard choices now lead to better times ahead. The way forward needs each of us to bring our differences to chart a path, all together.

Join us on June 26 as we come all together to explore ideas in science, art, poetry, and community.
