The project is funded by Community Foundation for Calderdale, Calderdale MBC Cultural Grants and the Arts Council of England. We are looking for contributions from as many women as possible, which will lead to the production of a publication celebrating women's well-being, health and creativity to be distributed nationally. There will also be a commission of a permanent piece of artwork for the Centre, informed and inspired by the work and funded by the Arts Council of England. So please let us know - WHAT IS YOUR RECIPE FOR WELL-BEING? Cherie Blair has already given us hers and we would love to hear from as many women as possible. Examples of recipes from women so far include: Long walks on the moor; a glass of wine and a hot steamy bath My recipe is to smile at the sky Listening to Aretha Franklin - very loud! Allow myself to do nothing - staring out of the window, and switching off for a while Bubble bath Walking on the wet grass with bare feet Go up onto the moor with the kids and lie on our backs on top of a grassy hill, look at the clouds and just chat - rambling with the clouds! Once we have gathered together thoughts and ideas, a group of women at the Centre will help us design artwork and illustrations for the book as the participatory element of the project. Hope you can help!

More than just celebrating ordinary women as makers of history, we are looking to encourage people to think in a creative manner without losing the social-political thread of how we value women and how much has that changed the role of women in our current society. The research, the inquiry, the project initially interviewed 100 view points (50 men and 50 women). The next phase its where you will be involved as a volunteer, for a whole day, you will be looking at 'what does it mean to be a woman today?'™ and together with Tereza Araujo you will be developing the final product/response triggered by the process. Our aim is to stimulate a new way of seeing women and encouraging people to have positive attitudes to, and treatment of, women. The project is lead by Tereza Araujo. Tereza is an award winning artist and renowned Brazilian performer; specialist in community theatre. Tereza has also worked with Augusto Boal in her native city of Salvador-Brazil. She will be leading the group with cross arts community techniques which unify artists from different art form to empower a section of the community in creating an art installation.

This is an organic site that will grow and develop as we interacted with it. The idea behind this project is a realisation that as a society we are becoming more and more isolated, and withdrawn. The government have got in right in some respects we all need to be nicer to each other. The eventual aim is to organise an exhibition of letters, which will document this unique social discourse, and allow us to recognise that we aren't alone in feeling alone.
