The purpose of this workshop is to look at past matriarchal societies that were "not patriarchal in reverse", but rather an entirely different orientation of consciousness of the past, so as to understand how the patriarchal worldview has propelled us into a fundamental and dangerous existential crisis. This crisis furthermore threatens healthy family, cultural, and ecological structures. We may begin the healing and balancing by ending the culturally driven self-deceptions perpetuated by biased historical renderings.

• Understanding matristic religion, mythology, family, cultural, and ecological systems that carried the fulfillment of our life's purpose, which provides an indispensable key to an understanding of the human experience. ("For our purposes matrifocal, matristic and matriarchal should all be taken to mean communality based on blood and spirit ties uniting all living things within the body and spirit of The Great Mother")
  
• Understand the important psychological implications that affect our view of ourselves in our traditional roles as men and women.
  
• To bring healing insights at a time when we can either cross into the new age of spiritual awakening and personal inner freedom, or be drawn back, through lack of a solid factual support, into the imprisonment of worn out and decadent cultural forms.

The participant will work through a holistic, integrated, principle centered approach for solving personal and professional problems. The process will help the individual develop a different orientation of consciousness to work through the changes being presented.
