Cakes for the Queen of Heaven is a study about the rewriting of history which tried to erase any memory of female power.  Cakes is a journey of history with poetry, music and the mythology of women and religion through the ages. Cakes has been redesigned from the original 10 session course written by Dr. Shirley Ann Ranck, a UU minister, to 5 sessions. Nicole Tolbert will be the facilitator of the course.  Please share your email address with her so she can put together a list of those interested in participating.
