“Seeking Harbor in Our Histories: Lights in the Darkness”

Save the Dates:  April 1-2, 2016, Boston, Massachusetts (location TBA)

Goddess Scholarship draws on historical, ethnographic and folk sources, among others, to document and honor the sacred and mundane stories which animate the traditions and spiritual lives of our global sisters and our foremothers.

This year’s conference theme embraces the heritage of location in the historical City of Boston, a harbor city rich in stories and symbols of First Nations of the Atlantic Northeast and the formation of the United States.

We are delighted to announce that one of our keynote speakers will be Dr. Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum,  feminist cultural historian and author of  “Black Madonnas,” “Dark Mother:  African origins and godmothers,” “The Future Has an Ancient Heart,” and, forthcoming, “black bird in a pear tree.”

Plan to come a day early to attend the Matriarchal Studies symposium, held in the same venue, and watch for notices about post-conference events.

Registration is ready for Conference on April 1-2 in Boston. Program to include Lucia Birnbaum, Elinor Gadon, Margaret Bruchac, Vicki Noble and Miriam Dexter and authors from Foremothers of the Women’s Spirituality Movement, Matriarchal Studies, Indigenous Scholarship, and much more:
