How is the return of the feminine shaping spirituality? Sacred Body, Sacred Earth....

In the UK, we've been culturally required to be Christian for about 2000 years, until my parents' generation mostly just said, "actually, no."

Folks then seemed to generally prefer rationalist atheism, and many of my generation grew up without religion forced on us. We looked around and said, wow! Everything is alive and... interconnected and... awe-some!

So. What's happening? Let's talk. Authentically as always.

How it works

We gather on zoom and settle in together (please try to be on time). We'll listen to some music, the speakers will speak for about 5 mins each, then we'll open the conversation to everyone. At various points we'll Call off the Thought and Sing, using voice to digest the emotions raised by the conversation; we'll mostly be on mute, but hopefully some of you will come off mute sometimes. From time to time we have a guest musician. We'll practice plurality (holding space for divergent view points), communicate respectfully, and make sense of our world together in a held space.

Tess Howell's ministry is powerful. She connects people to body, nature and what we might call a bigger aliveness, in my experience very directly, through leading dance outdoors.

Connie Batten is my American Hunka Mama. Raised in the Episcopal Church, they practiced Zen Buddhism for several decades before profoundly exploring Native American spirituality. They live simply, in deep relationship with a particular ridge top in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Northern California, close to the changes, small and vast, in storm and sunlight, moon and starlight, madrones and redwoods, crickets and quail, wild cats and coyotes, snakes and lizards.

“Kate Joyner is a modern day temple priestess and activist of the ancient ways. You’ll most likely find her dancing in flames while toasting menstrual blood to the Moon. A thunderbolt to the heart, she is a contemporary embodiment of the unspoken and suppressed voices of the wild and divine feminine. Her witchy work is revolutionary — and taboo in just the ways we need in this precarious time of radical change." - Bill Plotkin
