Welcome to our Dorset Woman’s Day 2014 Programme Saturday 1 March 2014 is the 9th Dorset Woman’s Day being run by the Woman’s Action Network Dorset (WAND), to celebrate International Woman’s Day (on 8 March). WAND has two amazing Patrons: Harriet Walter, actor and writer; and Tracey West, author, broadcaster and poet. About Dorset Woman’s Day Harriet said “It is great that WAND are focusing on women today March 1st, but let’s make sure women all over the world are listened to and noticed on all of the remaining 364 days of the year as well.” Tracey said “This is an absolute celebration of what we busy Dorset women can achieve. Today is a great day for putting aside our troubles and revelling in sisterhood and crafty creativity.”

Assert Yourself! With Carol Lewis Free
A taster session for those who would like to know more about communicating clearly with others. Often, we put the needs and wants of others before our own and then when we really would like to be understood and in particular, to say ‘No’ we find it hard to do. In this workshop we will look at ways of being clear in what we say and do and also at how patterns of communication (particularly in speaking) can contribute to our sense of being cajoled, persuaded or coerced into things. But... we are not victims and by taking a few steps to assert our views and needs can lead to a deeper understanding of what we want or need.
