Fall 2010Embracing Gaia: Reclaiming Our Heritage of PeaceSeptember 15-19, 2010 |
|
Gaia, the ancient Greek mother goddess, is one of the oldest known representatives of the Divine Feminine. Gaia symbolizes our connection to the earth and serves as a modern representation of the peaceful interrelation between the earth and all her creatures. During the Fall 2010 event, we will explore the myth of Gaia, and other ancient goddesses, to draw upon and enhance our own experience with the Divine Feminine. During the Institute portion of the event, we will study volume one of the recently-revised Cakes For the Queen of Heaven curriculum, facilitated by long-time Womenspirit member Barbara Green. This program seeks to raise awareness of the stories and symbols of the ancient world where females were respected and celebrated. Through worship services and the Gathering workshops, we will continue our exploration of Gaia and other goddesses, whose myths of strength, perseverance and peace continue to empower us today. We hope you will join us. |
