What Is Matriarchy and Why Do We Want It? - Encore Presentation
Q: What is Matriarchy for you and for me?
It means clear, concise definitions of economic, social, political, and cultural aspects where everyone cares for one another with no one person worth more than the other.
Laura Hirch - From The Goddess Film Series - with Vicki Noble
Q: Did you have something like that in your own life where you felt like, okay, I'm pulled, there was something that pulled you towards us, or was it just always something that was part of your, you know, life experience?
I think spirituality has been a part since my teenage years. But the goddess specifically, I think I had the calling or she called me when I was living in LA in 2015.
