Caryn MacGrandle is the creator behind the Divine Feminine App: an online community since 2016 that has been connecting women in Circles, events and resources.In this podcast, Caryn MacGrandle talks about the roots of the divine feminine app and her vision of Version 3.0 including a Goddess library:  a repository to protect and support the work of the many women (and a few men) who have worked decades to preserve and discover ‘herstory’ as the Goddess and more matriarchal balanced societies reemerge to balance the world. Such as Max Dashu who has spent decades compiling thousands of slides from all over the world.  Caryn discusses mainstream presentations of topics such as Snake Goddess, which present her as "difficult and problematic’," and focus on the man who discovered the Goddess artifact.  Instead the divine feminine app offers resources of the ‘non-problematic’ Snake Goddess, with the many resources of forerunners like Marija Gimbutas, Mary B. Kelly who spent more than 20 years researching Goddess figures on Eastern European textiles, and contemporary nomad scholar Carla Ionesco whose TikTok channel vicariously takes us on tours of Goddess sites.As Dale Allen says, "Revealing this to women is a restoration not just of information but of the building blocks to our very Being - restoring us on so many levels."The podcast discusses the blend between technology and our mind: the importance for us to keep talking about things that are noble, good, uplifting, positive, healing and loving. That not only will these be the things that keep showing up in our lives, but this is how we create a better world.  This is a responsibility. It matters. It matters what we read.  It matters what we do.  It matters what we think.“The Women are activated, and their love cannot be stopped.” Dale Allen.   InOurRightMinds.Net Caryn MacGrandlethe divine feminine appDale Allen • In Our Right Minds: On the Sacred Feminine, the Right Brain and Restoring Humanity’s Natural BalanceBestselling Book:Color:  https://a.co/d/e8MZm8CBlack & White: https://a.co/d/imfeMKqAward-Winning Film:https://www.inourrightminds.net/watch-the-film.htmlSupport the show

I am so pleased to celebrate Deborah Koff-Chapin and her 50 years of Touch Drawing!  Deborah’s profound art has been with me and “In Our Right Minds” all along, first featured in my one-woman touring show, then in the film, and now my new book on Amazon. Deborah’s soulful touch drawings convey the beauty and strength of feminine energy – it is otherworldly, and yet grounded by body and hand.~Since 1974, Deborah has poured her soul into Touch Drawing. Over the years her work developed from simple primal marks to evocative transpersonal images. In 1995 and 2000, she published a selection of drawings as “Soul Cards 1 & 2.” They continue to be used worldwide by a broad range of people including therapists, workshop leaders and creative writers. “Portals of Presence: Faces Drawn from the Subtle Realms” was released in 2021. In private sessions, Deborah creates “Inner Portraits”  that bring into form many dimensions of an individual’s soul. She has also developed the art of Interpretive Touch Drawing at numerous events including the Parliament of the World’s Religions.~Deborah and I recently met to discuss her 50 Year Celebration and our journey together.  Find out more here:https://touchdrawing.com/in-our-right-brains-a-conversation-with-dale-allen-and-eborah-koff-chapin/Support the show

" In Our Right Minds" BOOK  by Dale Allen • International Bestseller In Our Right Minds Award-Winning FILMThe girls and women must go to the lake to get food for themselves and their families. There, they are vulnerable, as the fisherman deal in fish for sex.  Evans Nyesi is effectively changing this dynamic - freeing the women and the men from hazardous and hurtful paradigms.~Evans Onyango Nyesi is  is the founder and Team Leader of The Tikvah Center, a registered faith-based community organization in Siaya-Kenya, dedicated to holistic development and community empowerment.~Through his diverse roles and expertise, Evans Onyango Nyesi actively contributes to advancing sustainable development, human rights, and the vital role of faith-based initiatives in addressing societal challenges.~https://thetikvahcenter.org ~Dear Dale,I hope the year is going on well with you so far... I was greatly thrilled by your perspectives on the healing energy of the sacred feminine during the Omnia's Patriarchy meeting late last year.~ One way of making sure the year continues to go well is by working more on detoxifying masculinity and transforming men to have a healthy masculinity that enhances the  flourishing women and girls. This is one of our key activities line up for 2024 and into the future. ~I am very worried about scriptural interpretations and cultural norms that legitimizes oppression and cages people into delusional boxes. I know you are too. The ease with which our religious and traditional leaders endorse marginalizing norms results in the horrific stigma, and women and girls bear the greatest brunt. ~While some argue  that all religions have been flawed from the very beginning, I hold the view that some people have managed to twist the doctrines, using religion for their own advantage throughout history. ~This is evident in the interplay among patriarchy, gender and religion where it  has confined gender roles and  upheld specific gender expectations. But i also know that religion has historically contributed to psychosocial support as a meaningful source of values and practices critical to healing and well-being. Such insights shed light on the ways religious doctrines and rituals can  offer avenues for gender expression and authentic healthy living, ~As The Tikvah Centre,  we wanted to find a way to shift this mindset so that our community and religious leaders would prioritize just and non-stigmatizing solutions to the pain caused by dis-empowering teachings by cultural and religious fundamentalists. ~I am passionate about this work because I would like to create for my two children and millions of others a better world to live and thrive. Research has proved that embracing equity and justice, will unlock the full potential of half the population, leading to greater innovation, economic growth, and social progress. ~Recognizing the precious space occupied by religion and religious leaders in Kenya as well as the potential for progress and/or regress in scriptural (mis)interpretations, I am convinced that integrating religion in  championing gender equality and women's empowerment, reproductive health justice and climate action (which has a huge impact on women and girls) would go a long way in building a more sustainable, inclusive, just, and prosperous world for all. EvansSupport the show
