WOMEN GATHERING
The International Lesbian Information Service (ILIS) will be holding a four-day workshop in Amsterdam from 19 August. The workshop is designed to appeal to committed activists who will consider among other things, the role of the lesbian network in Europe and its relationship to groups in North America and the Third World.
The weekend meeting will also focus its attention on how lesbian activists can best face the challenge of the New Right in Europe.
Meanwhile, plans are well advance for the women's international Summercamp at Denmark's KVINDEHOJSKOLEN (The Women's Highschool). The first camp takes place from 31 July to 6 August and costs 25 Dkr. per day (about IR£4.00). This one week long gathering is entitled "Tame the Planets" and according to the press release involves "working in our well nurtured fields - feel the earth under your feet, soil under your nails, sun on your back...supply the kitchen with vegetables during the Summer courses, where appetites grow wild, .cut the grass, so no women disappear in the long green blades.."
The second gathering at the Women's Highschool will be from 7-20 August and will consist of an international period with three different courses: Ritual and Ceremonial Healing, Creativity, Bodyconsciousness, Relating and Sensuality. This Summercamp will be run in Danish and English and costs 1950 Dkr, (about IR£250) per course, each course running concurrently. Places are still available and may be booked by phoning the Kvindehojskolen at Bredebro, 04 763493.
