🌟 Join Me for a Live Talk & Guided Meditations: The Significance of Virgin and Supernatural Births: Patriarchy, Sexuality, and Spiritual Symbolism 🌟
⏰ When: Sunday December 22 at 8:00 AM PST
📍 Where: Facebook Live
Throughout history, cultures have celebrated virgin and supernatural births as symbols of purity, transcendence, and divine intervention. But what do these stories reveal about societal values, patriarchy, and the stigmatization of sexuality?
In this live session, we’ll explore:
✨ The profound symbolism of virgin and miraculous births in traditions like Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, and Vedic culture.
✨ How patriarchal structures shaped these narratives and reinforced control over women’s roles and sexuality.
✨ The dualistic worldview that sees the body as impure—and how we can reclaim a more holistic and sacred understanding of embodiment.
🧘♂️Guided Meditations:
