This solo is full of inspiration, wisdom and love from Tama J. Kieves, Sharon L. Coggan, Diana Tokaji, and a little from me, Shira Cohen!!

A quick review of the ways we can quickly co-regulate and co-create through coherence and cohesion!

What do we need to do to co-create a world that gives us back our meaning, values, humanity and dignity?

Which beliefs make us feel and seem stuck in these societies that have lost all moral values?

How can we move torward a global society that gives us back our sense of meaning, feelings of belonging and significance?

How can we begin to dismantle the systems, structures, dynamic and relationships, is being shut down on every level of freedom of expression and living fully?

What steps will bring back the trust and belief of our human family, in our inherent incredibleness, deep integrity, our immense love, power and caring compassion?

Sharon L. Coggan, previously professor of religious studies, and author of Sacred Disobedience, discusses the importance of goddess to our modern culture with Shira.

Why has modern culture has lost its sense of the sacred? How did our present common fear of mystery and divinity come about? What has caused are we starved for the profound experience? What is the difference between religion and mysticism? What are the effects of purposeful suppression of the goddess, the feminine aspect in every being and repressed sexuality?

We look at the triple goddess Uma/Parvati, Durga and Kali,  women archetypes, symbolism, etymlogy and how to use it for self-development and shadow work.
