Goddess Wisdom for Today’s Woman: Embracing your inner goddess to empower your life. An Interview with Dr. Judith Greer EssexPh.D. MFT, REAT, ADTR Founding Director – Expressive Arts Institute
Why the goddess workshop? Why now?
|
Can you describe a typical Goddess workshop
|
The workshops are really art making for the purpose self-discovery, and the examination of our relationship with culture and nature through the feminine. I spend a bit of time introducing the particular Goddess, as image, myth and metaphor, exploring her powers, resources, strengths and teaching. I want to give my participants a working knowledge of Her, although no one can know everything about a Goddess!
Then we take on the creative task of investigating these aspects: we move as She might move. We create costume to more embody Her. We create images and poems to celebrate Her, and us as mirrors of Her qualities. Each woman does it her own way, but we all have the same resource material. Of course, we share what we have found.
How might this be helpful or useful for a modern woman? Who might benefit?
