The Divine Feminine

First Thursday of Each month starting February 4, 2010

Join us for a deep dialogue to explore the Divine Feminine

Our conversation on February 4 will be anchored by Kathe Schaaf, one of the original co-founders of Gather the Women and a woman who has followed the call of the Divine Feminine around the globe for the past five years. Kathe recently co-convened an event on the Sacred Feminine at the Parliament of the World's Religions in Australia, where she experienced a powerful rising of feminine energy and spiritual leadership. Subsequent conversations will be led by women of various spiritual or cultural perspectives.

What is the Divine Feminine?

What is your relationship ... and resistance... to the Divine Feminine?

And why are these questions so important?

Seeding CIRCLES

Gather the Women Southern California invites you into a process to ‘seed’ sacred circles for women. We have put together a DVD to create home salons where you can bring women into the experience of listening and sharing in deep meaningful conversations. At the end of the series you have the opportunity to ask women if they would like to continue the conversation in an ongoing women’s circle.

This D.V.D. highlights three major teachers, authors, and speakers who address Gather the Women participants: Dr. Jean Houston, Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen, Barbara Marx Hubbard

Included is a discussion guide with suggestions and questions based on the programs. Each presentation is about 8-10 minutes long and gives impetus for an in-depth discussion of the information and points raised by the speakers.

GTW proposes using this D.V.D. for a three-evening series OR all in one evening. This conversation can lay the groundwork to form on-going women’s circles.

To pre-order: Send a donation of $25.00 plus s/h $3.00 U.S. Or $7.00 Can. to Gather the Women, c/o Marilyn Nyborg, 14480 Craig Lane, Grass Valley, CA 95945. For more information: Marilyn@gatherthewomen.org
