Not the Jesus I Knew: Yeshua and the Divine Feminine

We know from archaeological findings over the centuries that the Divine Feminine has been worshiped from the beginning of time. In our modern day, there are many expressions of worship of the Feminine through pagan and earth-based spiritual paths. But what about the Great Feminine during the first century in the Middle East? Suppressed, eradicated, or simply hidden?

There are many ways to consider how She was expressed during the time of the Jewish teacher Yeshua (Jesus) and those who knew and followed him. We will explore ways that Divine Feminine might have been expressed, venerated and ritualized during this era.

“Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion: The Wisdom of Jonathan Haidt”

Dr. Michael Sullivan will be presenting a creative understanding of why good people are divided by politics and religion. It is based on the work of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt.  Dr. Haidt concludes that “morality binds and blinds”. Using the six foundations of morality derived from his research, we can gain a better understanding of “the righteous mind” that everyone has. This can help bridge political and religious divides and promote greater respect for opposing views.
