Description<\/strong> She Rises: What\u2026 Goddess Feminism, Activism and Spirituality?<\/em> is the third volume in the She Rises trilogy after <\/span>She Rises: Why Goddess Feminism, Activism and Spirituality?<\/em> Volume 1 (2015) and <\/span>She Rises: Why Goddess Feminism, Activism and Spirituality?<\/em> Volume 2 (2016). The present volume continues on the path prepared by the two earlier volumes and takes the Goddess feminist activist movement to a new horizon. Creativity and connectivity are the hallmarks of this volume. Our 59 authors have tailored the question, What\u2026 Goddess Feminism, Activism and Spirituality? to convey their insights and to address the importance and urgency of Goddess feminist activism amidst the current crises on the global context that affects all beings within the very eco-system. We in this volume collectively embrace a capacity of connectivity with other sisters and brothers across borders. Our message is that Goddess feminist activists are healing, nurturing and transforming ourselves and the world. We are born stronger. We are ever more grounded, committed, daring, creative, and fiercely focused. We are the trees that are crisscrossed at the root! This book presents a loom that interweaves colorful tapestries of insights, experiences, visions, research articles, poems, artworks, rituals, plays and creative activities across disciplinary boundaries. Our readers may sense a phenomenon through this book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out some of what our Authors say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activism begins in the chambers of our own hearts, cultivating the seeds of self-love and self-appreciation. To be strong we must cultivate love for ourselves.<\/em> \u2014 CINDY MORRIS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relinquishing the old self is an identified task in the grief process \u2013\u2013unique to each individual\u2013\u2013for the mother and anyone who has lost a loved one<\/em>. -\u2013 Diane Martin, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we reclaim our body\u2019s truth: the TRUTH of our bodies as Divine?<\/em> \u2014 REV. DIANNA RITOLA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being in alignment with the Goddess, in a simple and direct way, is to be attuned with nature, with its rhythms and its manifestations. The moon\u2019s energy, for instance, can be a vital resource for our own.<\/em> \u2014 NORIS BINET<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you find your spiritual home, that place where things feel right and uncomfortably perfect, it changes you and everything around you: your worldview, your view of yourself, your view of those around you, your view of those who used to be around.<\/em> \u2014 ANGELA KUNSCHMANN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Goddess, our Divine Mother, is the eternal midwife, guardian, and healer. She is the guide through life\u2019s transitions.<\/em> \u2014 BELINDA K. LASHEA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel big changes coming. Not Apocalyptic earth changes, though climate change is definitely real, but societal ones \u2013 the Goddess is about to shuffle Her cards and things are about to be rearranged, redefined, and we\u2019re going to build it stronger this time around.<\/em> \u2014 MORGAINE SWANN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say \u201cyes\u201d to writing, telling the truth, embracing the Goddess, claiming our freedom as women, working for causes we believe in, and being our authentic selves beyond the realm of those cultural or regional expectations that limit us.<\/em> \u2014 ELLEN J. PERRY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A feminist spirituality must necessarily be a spirituality of \u201cwe,\u201d not \u201cme.\u201d <\/em>\u2014 HEARTH MOON RISING<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must also come to realize that with anger and divisive backlash between men and women we will get nowhere in solving our current predicament, as men as well as women are suffering the consequences of the patriarchal structures on which we are basing our lives.<\/em> \u2014 AMINA RODRIGUEZ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So my encounter with Mary Magdalene has awakened in me a desire to know the truth. It has awakened in me a sense of justice. It has awakened me to the fact that greater social powers, often disguised as the \u2018leaders\u2019 of society, manipulate the truth to their advantage, that they want some of us to be disempowered.<\/em> \u2014 JOANNA KUJAWA, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t realise that this journey was going to be so messy, so distressing, and so rewarding, but I seemed to have been blessed by strong, outspoken and often more educated women \u2013 their education teaching us both that immersion in patriarchal institutional learning had its up sides and it down sides, just as the organic way of lived curiosity has its ups and down, too.<\/em> \u2014 LOUISE HEWETT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I listen to inner guidance that also comes from the earth. The earth speaks within me. I touch and see and I know. Touching a tree, touching water, I know what I can\u2019t put into words. Sometimes words come, or a sense of peace and intense love. Lately I\u2019ve noticed the voice at my home, the hill on which we live centering on a beaver pond, belongs to the beavers, their presence and wisdom. I listen and learn.<\/em> \u2014 TINA MINKOWITZ<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our intuition is our most potent and primal magic. It is our connection to our creative power, to our divine feminine essence, and to Spirit.<\/em> \u2014 SUZETTE WEST<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you sacrifice your material desires and replace these with the truest desire of your own soul \u2013 to be at one with our perfect Earth and with yourself by silently singing the poetry of your soothing love? <\/em>\u2014 DEBORAH HOLLINS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a really exciting time for me as a teacher. My students were not only learning how to research, but how to question, which can be a harder skill to master.<\/em> \u2014 ERICA HOLMES STARKS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe the unconscious speaks in images and when we participate in a ritual, using symbols, pictures, colors, elements, and gestures, we are alerting the unconscious that we want to change our patterns of behavior and elicit its co-operation. We are stating in a non-language format what we want to set in motion.<\/em>  \u2014 JYOTI WIND<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the existence of a male principle is necessary for the continuation of life, its dominant position is checked by the female principle, demonstrating the superiority of the womb \u2013 the mother principle.<\/em> \u2014 DEEPAK SHIMKHADA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many women want a vision of deity that affirms who they are at this very moment as opposed to some ultimate reality that transcends gender. <\/em>\u2014 KAREN NELSON VILLANUEVA, Ph.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we recognize that we are sacred beings and one with our Source, as well as everything else around us, the connections begin to grow. We take ourselves out into nature. We learn to really \u201csee\u201d what is around us. We learn that everything can speak to us, tell us what we need to know, if we listen. We study our past, digging deeply into our ancestors\u2019 spiritual past, wanting to know who their gods and goddesses were, and we actively engage with them in our own lives.<\/em> \u2014 Deanne Quarrie, D. Min.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
