Where Hope Begins
If we want true lasting change, we need to ask the deeper questions and break free of the polarization that has enslaved and hindered us.
Your Dark Goddess – A Song
A song came to me last month on the new moon while I was ovulating. I had recently read Dancing in the Flames: The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of Consciousness by Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickson, which prepared me for the major life upheavals which swifty followed.

Matriarchy Will Heal the World
It is long past time to structure our human activities around the naturally fluctuating cycles and rhythms of women and nature.
The Whole Self

When God is only portrayed as masculine…
For too long, Christianity as a whole has ignored, belittled, and even outright suppressed the feminine. I've witnessed first-hand the dysfunction that such imbalance creates within individuals and families. When we portray God using only masculine terms, it's natural for women to think that godliness is more of a masculine virtue. Instead of embracing our … Continue reading When God is only portrayed as masculine…
