Students will learn that ancient prehistoric cultures as well as practitioners and teachers of women’s spirituality today celebrate/d a female goddess. You will read materials, discuss and have student presentations on scholars who illustrate the goddess as a giver of life, of sustenance, of agricultural plenty, a keeper in death and as a connection to the great cosmic cycles. We will discuss what a worldview that values equality in social relations and connectivity to the cycles of natures and the web of life could mean for us and our communities. No prior knowledge is needed. There will be in-person sharing and discussion.
NOTE: There is no class on Monday, Jan. 19.
