Our conference seeks to connect and amplify the voices of those who are actively building a new, post-patriarchal world from the ashes of the burning world of hierarchy and oppression. We invite visionaries, educators, artists, practitioners, care-workers, and change-makers to share their innovative projects and audacious dreams during this exciting 2.5-day conference.
Conference presentations and activities will reflect the following key themes:
Goddesses, Female Deities, and the Divine Feminist
Healing, Reconciliation, and Transformation
Earth-Based Ethics and Relationships
Sacred Mysteries, the Arts, and Imagination
Spiritual Activism and Liberation
We are firmly committed to an intersectional analysis and praxis in our work and our conference is welcoming of all genders, gender identities/expressions, races, cultures, nationalities, economic statuses, ages, and ability levels.
