Feminine Deities in Classic Literature

$275.00

What is the Female God? How is she depicted in classic literature and what kind of healing can she provide in an otherwise patristic culture? This writing seminar examines these questions and more in pursuit of fully understanding a God that has been historically denied. Beginning in ancient myths and biblical literature, moving up though 20th century America and landing in our modern world, this class will explore feminine deities. How does God as mother differ from God as father? How are these notions affected by differences in culture? What insights can we draw through this work about ourselves and the never-ending pursuit of truth? Readings will include classical mythology, the Bible, Toni Morrison, Virginia Woolf, Alice Walker, Ntozake Shange, among many others. The class will meet for 8 sessions from Oct. 15th - Dec. 10th, every Wednesday from 7:00 - 8:30 PM (excepting Thanksgiving week).

Feminine Deities Fall 2026

Feminine Deities is a five-session virtual creative writing workshop exploring the divine feminine through mythology, poetry, archetype, and imagination. Together, we’ll encounter goddesses and feminine figures from across mythological traditions and use their stories as portals into our own creative work.

Each gathering will include reading, discussion, guided writing prompts, and time to share. No particular writing experience—or knowledge of mythology—is necessary. Come curious and ready to write.
