The Feminine Side of God
Forbidden Secrets * Forgotten
History * Forsaken Wisdom
A resurgence of the
Sacred Feminine is sweeping the planet, but who is the Goddess,
and what are her attributes? What is the nature and quality
of power of the Feminine Side of God? Her story can be found
in every culture and tradition around the world, but why is
this knowledge vital to modern men and women? Don't miss this
enlightening and provocative presentation which reveals a synthesis
of years of intensive research for her upcoming book, Everyday
Goddesses.
The evening presentation
covers the architecture and function of myth and how the stories
have been altered since classical Greece. Forbidden “heretical”
secrets and forgotten or suppressed history will also be discussed,
including the true nature of the Grail. What is the unique quality
of the Divine Feminine and the nature of the power of the Feminine
Side of God? How do these realities affect the way women view
and value themselves and likewise how men perceive and value
everything feminine? Why is it vital to restore her reverence
and heal the heart of humanity?
Workshop
This experiental workshop
explores myths and divine feminine archetypes from diverse cultural
and theological traditions, including: Isis, Sophia, Shakti,
Medusa, African and American Indian goddesses, Eve, Kali, White
Goddess and Black Madonna, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and
others.
We will also discuss
why certain symbols are associated with feminine power and recur
across time and culturse such as: gardens, serpents, trees,
birds, spinning, weaving, cauldrons and apples of immortality.
Beloved scholar of myth Joseph Campbell demonstrated that stories
of the Hero's Journey and the essential aspects of the Divine
are echoed in every culture and land. Psychiatrist Carl Jung,
who popularized the term archetype, warned that unacknowledged
aspects of our collective consciousness do not disappear, instead
they go underground, emerging in dreams and sometimes psychoses.
Participants will gain a rich knowledge of these powerful feminine
icons and learn why it is vital to restore their many-faceted
powers to conscious awareness. An understanding of sacred calendars
and the value of creating individual rituals to evoke and honor
these qualities will also be included.
