An Introduction to Feminist Theology
Facilitator Jaki da Costa
2-5pm Saturday 11 May
Feminist Theology developed alongside the Women’s Movement of the ‘70s and ‘80s. As an academic discipline it has encouraged women in particular to look with a critical eye at the male-centred religions that still dominate our world.
This one-off session will touch upon those who still work in the accepted faith communities as well as those who have branched off into Thealogy (study of the goddess). We will also look at the re-emergence of Wicca as part of women’s spirituality, and the work of Jungian analysts in helping women rediscover the Divine Female as a positive aspect of female consciousness.
Time allowing, we will end with a creative session.
