When you hear the name "God" as the bearded male patriarch in the sky, do you feel represented?
The Divine Feminine has been disparaged, disrespected and discarded for too long. But it was't always like this.
Barbara Walker wrote The Woman's Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects to remind us of our position in society. "Second created, first to sin." We have settled for an unempowered existence and we don't have to.

Closely observing thousands of patients under Anesthesia led Dr. Madhava to ask fundamental questions around ideas that have gone unchallenged for a very long time: What does it mean to be awake?

The world we occupy through our "sensory masks," as Dr. Ibrahim Karim puts it, has caused us to lose touch with the Universe.
We're feeling the implications of that now through corruption, environmental destruction, skyrocketing rates of chronic diseases and mental health disorders, animal extinction, deforestation, over-extraction of resources, war, social injustice and global climate change.
As a society, we are almost completely separate from not only the nature around us, but also the intrinsic wisdom of our bodies.

According to Dr. Christine Page, and many others, this is the voice of the Womb.
The Womb is the seat of feminine power and our source of intuition, knowing, and connection with the divine.
When we speak from the throat, our voices become higher in pitch, wordy and brain-centered. When we speak from the Womb, our voices reverberate with the relationship-building power of the Sacral Chakra and we effortlessly magnetize attention to our message.

As women in this society, feeling "complete" can be a rare occurrence. Our society fosters and feeds on our insecurities and our craving for MORE, which translates to more material items, more status, more money.

Which is exactly why the Christian church destroyed ancient libraries, appropriated pagan holidays and gods and made it their global mission (literally) to subvert all pagan and indigenous cultural, spiritual and religious practices. Conveniently, the obliteration of pre-Christian artifacts, particularly in Europe, eliminated nearly all trace of female participation in religious traditions and spiritual leadership.
