Continuing the conversation from the last episode #123, Jessica Woodbury interviews artists turned curators and art exhibition co-founders Laura Erekson and Nicole Woodbury. They have been putting on the Certain Women Art show in Utah for the past 5 years. In today's half of the conversation, Laura and Nicole share how they came to the themes for the more recent Certain Women installment. They discuss their own pieces from the current show and share their journeys with coming to know Heavenly Mother for themselves. Each of their powerful witnesses of Her comes through their artwork and their words here in this podcast.

The current Certain Women exhibition can be seen until June 7th at the JKR gallery in Provo, Utah. The theme is "The Measure of Her Creation".

Today McArthur Krishna joins Jessica Woodbury as the first interviewee in the new series on sharing experiences and testimonies of Heavenly Mother. McArthur's background of curating art shows, co-authoring books, and giving firesides celebrating the doctrine of Mother in Heaven make her the perfect candidate to share the ups and downs of spreading the knowledge of Her relationship with us. McArthur shares what it's been like gathering witnesses of the Divine Mother for her latest contribution, Cherish Volume 2: The Love of Our Mother in Heaven. She relates the joy that can be found when we share our love and knowledge of the Mother, holding our light on a candlestick rather than burying it under a bushel.

In this episode, Jess offers readings from The Tree at the Center by Kathryn Knight Sonntag, Restoration: God's Call to the 21st Century World by Patrick Q. Mason, Cherish: The Joy of Our Mother in Heaven curated by Ashli Carnicelli, Trina Caudle, and McArthur Krishna, and Mother's Milk: Poems in search of Heavenly Mother by Rachel Hunt Steenblik. The selections of prose and poetry dip into themes of restoration, our work in its unfolding, and God the Mother's all-encompassing love.

In this episode Jess leads a short guided meditation to help you reconnect with your core; your essence. Relax and enjoy.

Inspired by Esther's courage and the voices of so many LDS women on the internet over the last few weeks, Jess gets vulnerable and shares some of the poetry she's written over the past couple of years. Some heartbreaking, some fiery, some tender, her poems will likely connect with those traversing the terrain of deconstruction, seeking Heavenly Mother/the Divine Feminine, and/or craving inclusion at the institutional level.
