This spring Andrea journeyed to Crete to learn about ancient Minoan culture, worship of the Goddess and matriarchal societies. The Pilgrimage included experiencing Bronze Age Minoan ritual sites on mountains and in caves and a 1400 year old convent still functioning today. It celebrates a Society of Peace where the Goddess was revered as the Source of Life, women were honored, people lived in harmony with nature, and there was no war. An alternative to patriarchy. This Sunday, Andrea will share this journey with us.
