Current Events

Cakes for the Queen of Heaven – In Ancient Times — This adult curriculum centers on the Sacred Female, divine Goddess.
A woman/feminine identified honoring curriculum, it examines pre-Judeo Christian cultures and the divine feminine. More than Goddess 101, this curriculum builds week to week examining how your life might have been different if, when growing up, the divine had been imaged as female.
Begins Wednesday, March 20th 6:30pm – 8pm. In this 5-session class, the first 2 sessions are open. Because of the encouraged depth of personal sharing, this group will be closed and no new participants accepted after the second session.
