Honoring the Guest Interfaith Worship Series
~Exploring Diverse Faith & Spiritual Traditions
welcomes Rev. Judith Laxer, founding priestess of Gaia’s Temple.
Sunday September 4th is World Goddess Day, a day to come together, celebrate, and pay tribute to the Goddess. On such a day, we acknowledge that the Goddess is not merely the feminine face of God, but divinity in Her own right. At this time, the mysteries of Demeter and Persephone beckon us to the threshold of the Autumn Equinox. Join us to explore the profound significance that we draw from this ancient tale of darkness and light.
Pamela Gerke will offer music for this service

“Nowdays, in a staggered society impaired by centuries of patriarchy, heteronormativity and sexism, the Goddess is considered by many people the only way to reunite ourselves with the true Self, with our most inner Self. She is the only way to get rid of so many years of oppression that only brought differences, prejudices and wars … So a World Goddess Day has never been such necessary as now!:” ~ Brazilian author Claudiney Prieto
Our 2022 Spiritual Discernment:
Encountering the Infinite: Meeting the Divine Mother in Nature, Humanity,
and the Cosmos ~ a contemplative, exploratory inquiry and discovery
September’s Focus: “The Divine Mother as Destroyer”
“Why is Mother Kali so radiantly black?
Because she is so powerful,
Even mentioning her name destroys delusion.
Because she is so beautiful,
Lord Shiva, Conqueror of Death,
Lies blissfully vanquished
beneath her red-soled feet.”
~ Ramprasad Sen (trans. Hixon)
