"Confronting Gender: Seeing, Hearing & Valuing the Feminine" | 2018 Festival of Faiths

"We face many grave spiritual and cultural imbalances caused by our devaluing, oppression, and ignorance of the feminine. Discrimination, bias, and assault based on gender/identification is a global and systemic condition. Yet as evidenced by #metoo, #TimesUp, the women’s march, and prominent media stories from Hollywood to New York City, women’s voices are being heard around the globe, and with them, political will is building to confront gender bias.
Understanding, lifting up, and integrating the feminine may result in a new understanding and re-spiritualization of how we look at the world and ourselves. How can we more fully reconnect and restore feminine wisdom to our collective and cultural consciousness as a fundamental way to heal our wounds? How would the world look with a realignment of values, and the reinfusion of the feminine?"

2:15 Wrong information! Jacob had multiple daughters in Genesis 37:35. It's important to study the Scriptures thoroughly.

[@mrs.frog_and_fwends2381]

My name is Dinah… I think she mispronounced it but I don’t know I guess there can be multiple pronunciations

[@kittysnowshoe6475]

umm.. it's a Hebrew name and it's pronounced DEENA. She is absolutely correct in her pronunciation
