Presenter: Sharon Martin, PhD
Like it or not, there is a fundamentalist in each of us. It is a defense system born of fear, and all of us experience it in one way or another. In this lecture/discussion, we will explore the various ways fundamentalism manifests in our inner and outer worlds. In particular we will look at how it shapes our own Southern culture. We will discuss some of the psychological roots of its power, the most primary being Shadow projection, the very thing which leads us to wage war. How can we resolve this moral failure? Can we make a difference in the world? Is it possible to open more fully to our feminine reality to help resolve these difficult issues? These are the questions we will attempt to live as we explore the dark territory of Fundamentalism and the Feminine.
