“The Kjerringsleppet” -
35 Norwegian women who "improvised, surprised, and came uninvited" to the opening of the Norway Alpine Center in 1989. They swooped from the woods to make their presence known when they had been excluded, skied down the mountain with lanterns and clanging cow bells to crash the ceremony. These “women on the loose” became a fond symbol of strength and vitality in Norway, so much that they were invited to participate in the opening of the 1994 Olympic Games.
Sue Monk Kidd expresses in Dance of the Dissident Daughter that it is essential for a woman to know her own value, speak her own conscience, and act because she relies on and trusts what is within her. When empowered, she faces challenges as a dissident, if necessary, stating: “I am here now, and I am not going away.” That power may surprise her and the world may gasp at the genius displayed in the resulting effectiveness.
Paraphrased from: Dance of the Dissident Daughter: A Woman’s Journey from Christian Tradition to the Sacred Feminine, Sue Monk Kidd (New York: HarperCollins Publishers, Inc., 1996), 204-205.
Our Keynote Speaker at our November, 2008 Kjerringsleppet Conference, Elaine Miller-Karas, LCSW from the Trauma Resource Instititute and her co-founder, Laurie Leitch, Ph.D., were joined by Sherry Wheaton, M.D., at our Trauma Resiliency Model Training at Christopher Newport University. The therapists in attendance experienced the healing power of this model, and are integrating the principles in a variety of practices. Explore the concepts and learn about the work that is transforming the lives of trauma victims around the world.
