Nancy Schwoyer and Rosemary Haughton: Reclaiming Home-Making

Join Rosemary Haughton and Nancy Schwoyer on Wednesday, Dec. 5,7:30 p.m. at the Gloucester Writers Center for a conversation about the book they are working on. It is based on their experiences as founders of Wellspring House and their many years of practicing “radical hospitality”.

In their words:”The phrase ‘home-making’ has traditionally meant women’s work, something of lesser importance than a ‘professional’ job.  Now, it has become clearer and clearer that the essential work of both women and  men is to make our only home, the earth, a home fit for all living creatures to live in.

At Wellspring, doing the everyday jobs of , literally, homemaking in the spirit of hospitality both attracted and inspired others , in the words of the mission statement, ‘to care for the earth and her people’  at many levels and into the future.”

Two of the seven founders of Wellspring House in 1981, they work for social justice at the local, state and national levels. They are known in several countries through their lectures and writings (Rosemary has published more than 30 books).

Rosemary and Nancy look forward to this opportunity to dialog with many friends.
