Penny Slinger, sometimes Penelope Slinger, is a British-born American author and artist based in California. As an artist, she has worked in different mediums, including photography, film, and sculpture as a “feminist surrealist”. She is the author of “50% – The Visible Woman” (1971), “An Exorcism” (1977), “The Erotic Sentiment in the Paintings of India and Nepal” (1991), and “Sexual Secrets” (1999). She is the creator of the “Dakini Oracle Deck”, a system of divination based on the authors’ work in the Ranipur Jharial Temple of Orissa, India. The temple contains stone carvings of 64 Dakinis, ancient symbolic representations of the female principles of intuitive wisdom. The Dakinis are the guardians of the deeper mysteries of the self, and it is through them that the secrets of inner transformation are opened. Penny will be presenting a slideshow about her life and work, with time for a Q & A afterward.

While most WCCW programming is free or donation-based, with no one turned away for lack of funds, we do offer some workshops that have fees associated. This covers materials and allows us to pay the leaders of these workshops for their time and expertise, and to put a small percentage back into WCCW. This income, in addition to memberships, is what lets us keep the doors open and the lights on. We want to make programming as accessible as possible to anyone who is interested though, so we also offer volunteer opportunities and free community tickets to each event or workshop (number varies depending on capacity of the class). Email [email protected] for more info or to find out more about this opportunity for a specific event.
