Mothering Mother Earth: The Rise, Fall, Resurrection and Evolution of the Goddess


Unearthing the Goddess: A Journey Through Mediterranean Matriarchal Power

Mothering Mother Earth: A Conversation with Author S.C. Burns In this captivating interview with educator, author and historian S.C. Burns, we dive into the dramatic and eye-opening exploration of Mediterranean Goddess cultures—based on the powerful book that traces their factual, trans-historic, and evolutionary path through time.

From the ancient Greek world to modern Europe, one theme remains constant: the "mothering" goddess emerges time and again to bring justice, balance, and protection to both humanity and the Earth itself. But as her influence grows, so does the backlash. Who diminished her power—and why? Join us for a deep conversation about:

* The rise and suppression of goddess-centered cultures

* The link between feminine power and environmental protection

* How myths mirror social control over women

* What this history reveals about the world we live in today

This is more than a mythological journey—it's a reclaiming of female power, spiritual legacy, and ecological wisdom.
