Goddess Talk: Looking Towards the Next Metamodern Spirituality Lab

I'm joined by Layman Pascal and Schuyler Brown to consider some avenues of exploration for the next metamodern spirituality lab, during which our thematic focus will turn to "The Goddess." Such a shift marks a logical turn after the spring gathering's theme of "God." But what semantic aura tinges this term, Goddess? What sort of things can we expect this next gathering (September 13-15) to foreground and emphasize? What are the archetypes--and stereotypes--involved, and how might we be called to attend to this field of possibilities?

I’m sure you’ll get to it but I just feel like this is something I need to get out: trans identity, non-binary identity does not erase cis identity. For me, it is a vindication of something that gives me meaning in my life, my masculinity. For trans and non-binary people, this is something equally fundamental to who they are. We need not feel threatened but, in fact, validated in the importance of who we are through witnessing of the importance of gender to these people who are saying that our categories don’t work for them.

Y'all might like to have a look at Senua, a goddess worshipped in England until beaten out of history circa 3-4th C, forgotten til uncovered in Ashwell 2002. She filled my imagination: in a more reflexive-processing timeline, could the British have exported a more right-brained sensitivity? As IIIΞ recreate the State every moment; Birth anew IIIΞIIIΞ?

This conversation is calling to mind the book The Alphabet and the Goddess
