Meet the Sacred Feminine in all her aspects as presented by leading women scholars, authors, artists, and ritualists.

Fri. 4/15, Deborah J. Grenn, Ph.D. - Lilith's Fire: The First Woman as a Symbol of Empowerment. Who was Lilith? How can she serve as a role model to help us reclaim our voices and the suppressed parts of our Selves? How can we co-create a culture which honors the Sacred Feminine and our erotic lifeforce? When viewed as natural these energies can fuel our inner strength and enrich our intellectual and spiritual lives. Grenn is the founder and director of The Lilith Institute and author of Lilith’s Fire: Reclaiming Our Sacred Lifeforce. She is lead faculty in the Women's Spirituality MA Program at New College, and teaches at Napa Valley College and at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Grenn also serves on the Domestic Violence task force of the Napa Interfaith Council. (www.lilithinstitute.com)
