Perchè a Salt Lake City
Luciana Percovich
Chi mi conosce sa cosa penso delle religioni in genere e di quelle monoteiste in particolare (malissimo, per dirla in breve), in Oscure Madri Splendenti e nel Dio uni-verso e la dea dai mille nomi spiego più diffusamente il mio sentire, e tuttavia andrò a questo Parlamento 2015, a Salt Lake City, nella patria dei patriarcali mormoni, perchè il lavoro di molte donne, tra cui soprattutto Phyllis Curott che stimiamo e amiamo in molte, ha fatto sì che quest'anno per la prima volta (il Parlamento esiste dalla fine del 1800) una giornata intera sarà dedicata alla spiritualità femminile; anche nelle sessioni ordinarie ci sarà spazio per contenuti come quello del panel che coordino con donne come Joan Marler, Genevieve Vaughan e le indigene americane Barbara Mann e Pat Mc Cabe.
e poi vediamo cosa succede.... Di seguito l'intervento di Luciana
Parliament of the World religions 2015
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Salt Lake City Convention Center, October 17, 3.30 - 5 p.m.
Room 255DLuciana Percovich introduces the workshop
She who gives life, She who gives form: Ancient/Modern Mother Earth based Paradigms.
The re-emersion of ancient female myths of creation in every continent, the symbolic paintings and sculptures of the Cave Art and the abundance of female statuettes of the Paleolithic show interconnectedness and balance with Mother Earth (Luciana Percovich, Ladies of the Gift and Abundance);
the peaceful civilization of the Neolithic Europe as emerged from the work of Marija Gimbutas and other renown archaeologists, paleontologists and historians (Joan Marler, Earth based Spirituality in Old Europe);
the Modern Matriarchal Studies on contemporary matricentered cultures all around the world, which endured through millennia in the peripheral zones and which are egalitarian and peaceful (Barbara Alice Mann/Pat Mc Cabe, Indigenous American Societies based on matricentric values);
female oriented cultures, based on the awareness of human species’ frailty and its total dependency on nature, developed a vision of Nature as a Mother, both good and malevolent, whose cycles are to be attuned to further Creation (Phyllis Curott, Ancient European spirituality and healing);
reclaiming the Heart of humanity means rethinking shared values, for every single aspect of our troubled present is just a single face of the same civilization. Relational and economic models are to be reinvented (Genevieve Vaughan, The Economy of the Gift).
