Where To Stay

Joan checked with the Cenacle, a Catholic retreat center near Life Force Arts Center (LFAC) regarding housing for participants in the Goddess Festival. It is only about 15 minutes by car from LFAC!

Bob Racagulia is the contact person. He said the Cenacle provides housing for people attending conferences and retreats, whether the conferences are at the Cenacle or at another location. So it's fine for someone coming to the Goddess Festival to stay at the Cenacle.

Here is the information:
Cenacle Retreat Center,
513 W Fullerton, Chicago IL 60614
773-528-6300.

Single rooms are $60 per night
Double rooms are $90 for two people ($45 each person).
Rooms have a sink.
Bathrooms and showers are down the hall.
Rooms have air conditioning.
Rooms do not have telephone or television.
There are 20 double rooms and 40 single rooms.

Parking: There are 30 parking places.
Parking is on a first come, first served basis.
There is also parking at Children's Memorial Parking garage for $6 per day.

Meals may be purchased in addition to the room. fee:$7 breakfast, $8 lunch, $9.50 dinner

If there are up to 4 people coming for a conference/retreat, they can contact the Cenacle directly to arrange for accomodations. If more than 4 people are coming, a representative of the conference should contact the Cenacle to make a contract between that organization and the Cenacle. That means, if more than 4 people from the Goddess Festival are going to stay at the Cenacle, then Joan should contact the Cenacle with a rooming list of people from the Goddess Festival staying at the Cenacle.

So, the earlier people plan the better, so we can reserve enough rooms.

Please contact Joan at 773-327-7224 or joan@LifeForceArts. org if you have any questions.

Juno Covella

Juno Covella - "The dove that binds with cords".

On certain occasions, Romans combined their goddess titles of Juno and Khubele; hence, Juno Covello.

Blogs and Thrones

Isidora Forrest has created Isiopolis, a blog dedicated to Isis.

Since we are focusing quite a bit on the THRONE, this section seemed relevant:

"Isis is the Great Goddess “Throne,” the original Cause and Place of Being. She is the ancient Great Mother Who gives birth and rebirth to Her people as they pass through Her enthroning lap. She is the Lady Who nurtures and sustains them with the blessings of the Earth, which She—as the Primordial Place of Being—is."
