Alisa Blanchard, BA is life in motion During the last few years I have begun honoring my moon time by creating or learning something new each cycle. This allows me time to really listen or reflect on my inner wisdom and to manifest my dreams. I believe the sacred flow of my blood opens me in new ways to my goddess; the Divine Feminine within my being. This is also a great time to connect with my daughter and enter... Read more
Kay Lindahl is an interfaith activist, speaker and retreat leader, author of “The Sacred Art of Listening” It took me a long time to recognize the Divine Feminine. I grew up in the 40’s, a member of a mainline protestant denomination, and was used to all the masculine pronouns and expressions of God. I didn’t necessarily feel excluded or included – that was just the way it was. However, I also sensed a deep calling to be in communion with... Read more
Dr. Halina Krupa writes a blog of inspiration for families who do it differently I am a mom to a beautiful 5 year-old daughter who makes sure my rituals are simple, short and in the moment. Gone are the days of leisurely meditations at dawn. Now, at dawn, I may wake up with a foot on my head, or little fingers crawling under my shirt, searching for the warmth of my breast–still. My ritual becomes this being in the moment.... Read more
Kathleen Schmitt is the author of Seasons of the Feminine Divine: Christian Feminist Prayers for the Liturgical Cycle in three volumes. From as early as I can remember I have known the kind, feminine spirit that permeates all nature and all life. As a tiny child I loved a little flower we called a ¨wine cup,¨ which I later identified as a sign, an image of the divine womb. I know the Divine Feminine in remembering experiences, events and people... Read more

Ravneet Kaur Tiwana is a Ph.D. student at UCLA conducting research on immigrant Punjabi Sikh women and their children. She is a core-member of SAFAR (Sikh Feminist Research Institute). As a Sikh, I believe I cannot reach spiritual bliss-“anand”-unless I connect with the divine feminine. This divine feminine is compassionate, courageous, and humble. It is through this divine feminine that I connect with the omnipresent power of Waheguru. The divine feminine is not reigned by the five vices – lust,... Read more
Karen Speerstra, author of “Sophia, The Feminine Face of God”. What does a world transformed by the Divine Feminine look like? On a recent trip to Spain, there were days when all I could think of were patterns I watched patterns of mountains notch into valleys and fields, fallow and fertile, slip into one another. I saw saw olive and orange trees line up and the earth crease and fold around them. Gregory Bateson once said in Mind and Nature, “What... Read more
by Anne Scott of Dream Weather This woodblock print that you see here, Benedictas Veritas, carries the essence of what this blog is about. For the green expresses what I understand as a woman’s sacred relationship to life and to the divine. I once had a dream in which I see a vibrant, healing green stream that runs through women from head to toe. I am told that women need to find and recognize it in themselves, so that it can flow out into... Read more
Laura Paskell-Brown is a writer, student and spiritual activist. She runs the women’s circle at Occupy Wall Street I’m forever rushing at the moment. No sooner am I done with one task then I’m on to the next. Life’s about getting stuff done, and people just get in the way of that process. “HEY YOU!” yells the voice in my head “DON’T YOU KNOW I HAVE A WOMEN’S CIRCLE TO RUN? GET OUT OF MY WAY!” I’m well aware of the... Read more
Yvette Warren is a grandmother, the author of the blog One Family, Many Faiths and a newly ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. Feminine Fecundity A world transformed by acceptance of the feminine divine Would stop jockeying and competing for power. Humankind would stop acting as jackels and dogs And celebrate each other’s finest feats and hours. Our world would look for connections and ways to cooperate In striving to create societies that our young can imitate. We would cheer... Read more
