About The Webinar:
In this FREE webinar, Sylvia V. Linsteadt and Chiara Baldini will explore the history and legacy of the Ancient Mother, the so-called Mother Goddess of Europe, whose origins stretch back to the Paleolithic era. Once, she was understood to be the Law of the Earth itself, the practices, beliefs and values which allowed the flourishing of all life and which were therefore profoundly revered and handed down for millennia. In these modern times of immense turmoil, we can see that it is her Laws which are being broken and the mutually beneficial relationships among all beings which are not being respected. To move past the destructive forces of patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism, the ways of the Ancient Mother could be a formidable source of inspiration to find our way back "Home".
Who Should Attend:
This webinar is for anyone looking to gain rare insights into the history of the Ancient Mother in Europe and the enduring, though often hidden, legacies of matrilinear traditions that still linger in these lands.
