Becoming Mother--Spirituality, Femininity and Earth Transformation
Keynote by Regina Sara Ryan

Female or male, the task for each conscious human person is to "become Mother." Whether we have physically borne children or not, the knowledge of "mother"--as the one who facilitates birth, nurturance and maturation, and death and renewal--is present in the cells of the body.

Sadly, this knowledge of "Mother" often remains obscured and unavailable to us. We can, however, turn to one another, to the great "Mothers" from the past (women or men), and to the images and understanding of God as Mother to find the inspiration, courage and wisdom to transform our own hearts, to serve our children and families, and to ultimately celebrate and honor the Earth Mother on whom we all depend.
