The Author Greet & Eat is where authors from Beautiful Trouble Publishing, friends from various publishing houses and readers from all over can meet, eat, and participate in some good old fashioned face-to-face mayhem. This is a chance for readers to meet some of their favorite authors, for authors to meet their readers, and for everyone to have the kind of good time that is spoken about decades later with reverence.

Uterus Adventure - Belly Dancing

The Uterus Adventures™
In the summer of 2012, four women headed off for a girlfriends’ getaway. Excited, anxious and at times terrified, these ladies faced their fears and zip lined across the Red River Gorge in Kentucky! None of them knew that this experience would birth The Uterus Adventures.

Authors and advocates for “girl power,” Valerie J. Lewis Coleman and Karen Marie Reynolds Townsend have collaborated to bring The Uterus Adventures (UA) to YOU! UAs are ladies-only experiences and excursions designed for women who are willing to step outside their comfort zone to embrace the courage they never knew they had! These adventures will include single-day events and weekend excursions throughout the year. Each adventure will include empowerment workshops, a challenging adventure and time dedicated to debrief the experience. 
We invite you to join us for our inaugural adventure:
An Afternoon of Belly Dancing!

When: Saturday, June 29, 2013; 1:00 – 4:00 PM
Where: The Kleptz YMCA. 1200 National Road. Englewood, Ohio 45322

Since the belly is the “home” of the uterus, what better way to launch our adventures? This adventure will focus on relieving stress, improving physical health and building confidence. With guidance and instruction from a professional belly dancer, we will learn the basics of this Middle Eastern art form and how it promotes a positive body image. 
Your investment of $39 for this adventure includes:
•Personal empowerment workshop
•One-hour belly dancing class
•Debrief session 
•Light refreshments
•Giveaways
