Topic: How Do I Know?

Is the voice I hear that of my fear or my higher power? Learning to listen.

Guest: Sally Fisher

Sally Fisher co-founded Northern Lights Alternatives, a network of HIV/AIDS agencies in the mid-eighties to produce the AIDS Mastery Workshops, which she created for people impacted by HIV. The workshops have been done in over thirty cities and are still going strong.

She also created Taking Care, a series of workshops to prevent Burnout and to deal with conflict within organizations and coalitions.

Fisher has recently established INTERSECT, a new international organization, which will look at the ways in which all of the movements working for a safe and healthy global future intersect, and how we can come together around our commonality to become a powerful strategic force. The first project of INTERSECT explores the relationship between HIV and Violence Against Women.

For the last several years Ms. Fisher has been intimately involved with V-Day as a producer of events and Director of the Worldwide Initiative. Most recently she has produced V-Day 2001, a gala star driven performance which centered around Eve Ensler's play The Vagina Monologues at Madison Square Garden. She is also Associate Producer of the play.

Ms. Fisher has written Life Mastery based on her experiences and workshops and has released the first two of a series of audio tapes for Brain sync, Burnout: Getting Back On Track and Spirituality: What Works For You. Ms Fisher is currently working on a new book, The Quality of Life is not Determined by the Circumstances but by What we do with them, which is also the philosophy underlying all of her work.
