"The Goddess Journey" lifts the veil on a lost Feminine Spiritual Heritage.
Femininist Spiritual Art is alive at the Magdalene Cultural Arts Center in North Hollywood.

In the tradition of Judy Chicago ("Through the Flower", "The Dinner Party"), Frida Kahlo’s portraits of the soul, and last spring Exquisite Acts & Everyday Rebellions: 2007 CalArts Feminist Art Project, WACK! Art and the Femininist Revolution at Geffen Contemporary at MOCA and Southern California Women’s Caucus for Art’s Multiple Vantage Points at LAMAG (Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery), "The Goddess Journey", a series of 33 paintings, a legacy to women spiritual heritage, explores the Eternal Feminine.

I'm receintly going back to therapy for issues related to being a survivor of sexual abuse, and more recent spousal verbal abuse and intimidaiton. I have the joy of deciding if I want to stay in my marriage or no *fake-smile*. I'm in a state of penny pinching and I am using state services. Art Therapy was recomended, but I have no idea what that will be like; my only experience is regular sit down and talk (ie: pour your heart out) therapy. I've never been good at really looking at my issues, just the surface, but now I really want to sweep out the corners.

If anyone has any words, insights or experiences to share, I'd apreciate it.
