The word “Goddess” is used to mean “the Feminine Divine.” The terms/titles are used interchangeably in our thoughts, print material and conversations. The concept of goddess or feminine divine predates the Bible and other patriarchal religious writings prevalent in today’s culture. We speak of the goddess or the feminine divine as a concept, as a representation of a set of qualities vs. “The Goddess.”
There is the aspect of the feminine divine in all religious traditions. We have been drawn together in the creation of this event to initiate a reversal of the patriarchal dominance in mainstream spirituality, to restore balance in the spiritual quest. It is our intention to create a safe space to explore, express, and celebrate our connection to the feminine divine.
We do not “worship.” We explore, claim, and respect divinity in the self. We are not a religion. We are not a collection of Pagans, Wiccans, or any other single identifiable structured religious group. We are not producing a “green” festival, a “women’s” festival or a “feminist/separatist” festival.
We seek to express our connection to the feminine divine through art, music, words, dance, and shared knowledge. We extend the invitation to everyone to join us in an atmosphere of respect and acceptance for all. Our mission statement: Dare to hope for spiritual wholeness in the world.
