We will explore the myth that is the source for the Biblical “dance of the seven veils.” What is the significance of the grand existential metaphor of veiling? Can it and how help us see ourselves through the mystery of our existence? By re-telling the myth of Inanna’s descent into the underworld and presencing its states and stages though our personal stories, we will trace the grand cycle of a heroine’s journey and arrive at a better understanding of our own pathways. This ancient counterpart to a hero’s journey and His crucifixion showcases unique implications of a laborious archetypal passage for a woman’s psyche. To move forward into the future with joyful anticipation rather than fear, we need to revisit the models that help us re-build the healthier continuum of our individual and collective being. While the Feminine is the topic, all are invited to join the circle in the Red Tent and peak through the psychic veil of our feminine intelligence, resilience and resourcefulness for our shared future.
