Dear (Re)Collection: A WGS Newsletter Readers:
This newsletter was inspired by the Women for Genuine Security Retreat,
“WOMEN FOR GENUINE SECURITY ALL DAY: Sustaining our bodies, work, and
future” (DECEMBER 7, 2008). Participants were welcomed by Maikiko
James, moved by Colleen "Coke" Tani Nakamoto’s body workshop, enjoyed
music provided by Aileen Suzara, critically engaged in conversations on
sustaining ourselves and our organization through reflection and
discussion of our strengths, passions, weaknesses, and the
opportunities and threats of the current moment facilitated by Debbie
Lee, sustained themselves through creative writing led by Annie
Fukushima, reinvigorated their bodies with Eriko Ikehara, and inspired
to continue as a collective by Gwyn Kirk’s closing statements. The
writings in this newsletter came out of the creative writing portion
and opening statements made by the participants. We want to thank all
of our contributors and invite our readers to join us in this continued
journey.
Ellen-Rae Cachola, Annie Fukushima, Maikiko
James, Aileen Suzara, and Taeva Shefler
