Summary

In this episode, Sarah & Vanya delve into the themes of creative transgression, the myth of salvation, and the archetypal figure of Eve. 

They explore the implications of patriarchal narratives on women's lives, the importance of friendship with oneself, and the need to reclaim the mythic medicine of Eve. 

The conversation also touches on the Great Reversal, highlighting the shift from Earth Mother to Sky Father and the impact of these narratives on our understanding of femininity and spirituality.
