Film Screening of Miss Representation
Sunday, February 12, 2012
7:00 pm – 9:00pm
ITP Main Campus, Great Sophia
Please join us for a film screening of Miss Representation at ITP on Saturday February 11, 2012 from 7-9pm.
This event is one of many screenings across the United States. The documentary ...Miss Representation, by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, and aired on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network in October.
Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, Miss Representation uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself.
Tickets:
$12 General Public.
$7 students with IDs from other universities,
$5 ITP students/faculty/staff/alumni,
The film screening will be directly followed by a facilitated discussion. Space permitting, tickets will also be sold at the door.
If you have any questions about this screening, please email kford@itp.edu.

Event Description: V-DAY Institute of Transpersonal Psychology JOINS GLOBAL EFFORT
TO STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS
The Center for the Sacred Feminine at ITP is sponsoring a benefit production of Eve Ensler's award winning The Vagina Monologues. Proceeds from V-Day ITP 2012 event will go our local beneficiaries, Shakti Rising and The Art of Yoga Project as well as to the V-Day Organization.
ITP faculty, staff, students, and alumni will be performing Eve Ensler's powerful play The Vagina Monologues. With humor and grace the piece celebrates women's sexuality and strength. Through this play and the liberation of this one word, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives. For more than twelve years, The Vagina Monologues has given voice to experiences and feelings not previously exposed in public.
What are The Vagina Monologues
Hailed by The New York Times as "funny" and "poignant" and by the Daily News as "intelligent" and "courageous," The Vagina Monologues, which was first performed off-Broadway by Ms. Ensler, dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women’s experiences. Ms. Ensler has performed the play to great acclaim throughout the world - from Zagreb to Santa Barbara, from London to Seattle, from Jerusalem to Oklahoma City. Villard Books/Random House first published The Vagina Monologues, which includes a foreword by Gloria Steinem, in February 1998. A special edition was released in hard cover and paperback in February 2008 in honor of V-Day’s ten year anniversary.
V-Day Description:
Last year over 5400 V-Day benefits were held around the world raising funds and awareness towards ending violence against women. These highly successful events raised over $4 million through performance of Eve Ensler’s award-winning play, The Vagina Monologues, readings from V-Day’s A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer and Any One Of Us: Words From Prison and screenings of V-Day’s documentary Until The Violence Stops. Institute of Transpersonal Psychology has joined this global movement as part of the V-Day 2012 Campaign. 
Creative Expression Sunday Series:
The Effects of Energy: Playing with Light and Dark in Oils
Sunday, March 4, 2012
10:00 am – 6:00 pm
ITP Main Campus, Samadhi
Through consciously creating oil painting images that reflect the balance of our lives and the movement of energy within and without, this interactive workshop will share stories of the human relationships that touch us. Through the process of painting, a gate to the transpersonal will open and energy will flow.
Ben Rush has worked in the arts in many different forms; painting was something he never played with until 2004. After creating his first painting, he was captivated and addicted to the emotional energy that painting provoked.
