• The Goddess doesn't enter us from outside; she emerges from deep within. She is not held back by what happened in the past.

She is integrity and value, created and sustained by the hard work of personal growth and the discipline of a life lived actively in hope.

• The image of the Goddess inspires women to see ourselves as divine, our bodies as sacred, the changing phases of our lives as holy, our aggression as healthy, our anger as purifying, and our power to nurture and create, but also to limit and destroy when necessary, as the very force that sustains all life. Through the Goddess we can discover our strength, enlighten our minds, own our bodies, and celebrate our emotions. We can move beyond narrow, constricting roles and become whole.
