International Congress 2010  Spirituality and Politics

“You call me with thousand names and really mean yourselves”

Great Mother – Goddess – Ancestress – Grandmother
The living Goddess – The political dimension of feminine spirituality

Hambacher Schloss / Germany – May 28 to 30th 2010

I am calling you memory
to send pictures into my vacant home
since even darkness will shine
when we start to remember

For decades women have again been communicating with the Goddess. They are in connection with the Great Mother – with nature and all of her living beings, with her manifestations, energies, and powers.
This dialogue is part of a comprehensive elementary and of matriarchal spirituality.
The forms of separation and isolation we experience in today’s patriarchal “non-culture” – be it a separation of external and internal, of sacred from secular, of mankind from nature, of macrocosmos from microcosmos originate in a fundamental attitude that puts profit as the basis of all values. No longer is life perceived in its great variety and wholeness. Destructive thinking and behaviour rule and excessively increased patriarchal economical and political goals give them the illusion of actual purpose of life.
“Matriarchal spirituality is not a patriarchal institution but a movement with political essence in the way of a different political term implying a system of bridging politics.” (Heide Göttner-Abendroth)
Feminine matriarchal spirituality is about developing a deep inner connection to life, about respect , esteem, care of all living things. Spirituality is the awareness of being a part of the whole, not as a dogmatic religious belief or organisation but it is like the way breathing belongs to living.
The return of matriarchal cultures, brought back by us women, changes the general consciousness: An integral and comprehensive world-wide understanding with the symbol of the Great Goddess comes about. Because SHE is the energy and spirit inherent to the earth.
