Our Story

For those of you who have heard this speech from me before, I apologize for the repetition, but I'm sure it can't hurt to be reminded of our collective evolution. Search your depth of knowing, and if you don't know it, understand it, or feel it intuitively, do some research. Our past can be characterized by a long HerStory, where the prevalence of a female cosmological understanding of the world. This lasted from about 40,000 BC to 10-8,000 BC. At that time, the fertile crescent began to be exploited by a new culture. A culture of male dominance, which tried to control nature and exploit resources for human development. This ushered in the epoch we know as HisStory. The culture of the past began to be co-opted in order to legitimize the practices of the time and provide justifications for the retention of male authority and power. All our dominant religions institutionalized these control mechanisms and created ideologies based on ignorance and fear. I believe that we are awakening to a new change and a new era based on balance and cooperation. And that we will finally leave behind the last vestiges of a dualistic and polarized world. Instead, we are rousing from our slumber to usher a time of existential transcendence where we will overcome the polarization of our world. We are coming together to live on this planet as one community, one expression of humanity in balance with all life that we are inextricably connected. We are coming to know what it means to live OurStory. Please join me in welcoming this transition with grace and gratitude as we transform our lives.
