SUMMARY:St. Paul - Headscarf Story Circle: Tea Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota Humanities Center (MHC) is excited to host Headscarf Story Circle – a series of offerings that recognizes the strength and resiliency of women. Join us for our fourth offering as we gather together through the shared connection of the headscarf and its complexity. Guests are encouraged to wear a headscarf or head dress that is symbolic of anything from a fashion statement\, cultural identity\, health related\, or memories\, and beliefs. \nDuring these historical and current challenges\, we will come together to share stories\, embrace our differences\, and support each other along the way. Reflecting on previous offerings\, we will highlight the impact and discoveries made during previous gatherings as well as hold space for new stories.  As we sip on teas and food from around the world\, we will embark on a journey with cultural wellness professionals who will unveil their unique strategies for achieving balance and inner peace. Participation in past offerings is not required. \nPresenters\nWendy Goldberg is an adjunct professor in the religion department at Augsburg University and teaches first and seventh grades at the Heilicher Minneapolis Jewish Day School.
