Feminine Wisdom.

This month, we're exploring "Feminine Wisdom and Spirituality."

We can come to know and understand the Goddess in Her myriad forms and expressions, in various cultural and religious traditions, throughout history and time.

Her name is Mary, Aphrodite, Venus, Kwan Yin, Tara, Gaia, Isis, Lakshmi, Athena, and Patchamama, to name a few...
