OPENING QUOTE
“Those who do not move do not notice their chains.” —Rosa Luxemburg
EXPLORATION: What is one tangible action that Lilith has inspired me to take in my life?
In this final session, we complete Part t Three of our study—Reclaiming Ourselves—by finding real life ways that this new feminine paradigm is shaping the way we move through the world. By looking at our actions, we become more aware of what is shifting below the surface as a result of the work we are doing to reclaim Lilith and reclaim ourselves!
SUGGESTED READINGS (go around the circle, allowing all participants a chance to read)
These pieces where chosen because they all speak of Lilith’s impact on actual women in many different circumstances. My hope is that their words will help you articulate Lilith’s influence on you, forging a channel for continued communication, growth and inspiration directly from Lilith, the remarkable first woman of the world.
Participants may read the piece in its entirety (if short) or an excerpt (if longer). The reader can select the passage(s) if excerpting. If time/resources exist, you may also project the selected image on a screen, making sure you credit the artist.
