For centuries the planting of seed in the earth not only nourished humanity, but also symbolized the mystery of life and the journey of the soul. In our current supermarket lifestyle of pre-packaged products, far removed from the cycles of planting, we have nearly forgotten this mystery. Now as the integrity of the seed is threatened, so is its primal meaning.

The Power of the Feminine
The Power of the Feminine: Facing Shadow Evoking Light highlights women's role in global change. Authors are from Egypt, Ghana, Exile Tibet, and the United States. They discuss the dismantling of patriarchal and colonizing behaviors influencing political, economic, and religious paradigms. Colonization has caused great harm to people of color, indigenous cultures, and natural resources. Authors emphasize the need to face the human shadow. Patriarchy has suppressed women, Nature, and the power of the feminine. We have been unable to ground many of our religious and ethical ideals simply because of the suppression of the feminine-the relational archetype. Listening to the guidance of indigenous peoples is encouraged as they have maintained a stronger relationship to Nature, respecting all species throughout human evolution. Authors emphasize the need for healthier ways of living and relating in order to create a healthier future for our youth and the future of all humanity. An organization for change is presented: Face the human shadow, heal oneself, create healthier relationships from birth forward, and support the emergence of the feminine archetype in both women and men.
