Woman on the Edge: The Many Faces of Iris Woman

May 17, 1994 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm PDT

lecture:

The Goddess Iris will be introduced as a re-emerging ancient feminine energy being experienced by many women and men today. At home in liminality, this earlier form of Hermes has a foot in both worlds. Her incarnation, whether in mid-life or at the other turning points in our lives, can bring us to the edge. If she isn’t to run us ragged, we have to be conscious of her. The traps and possibilities of some modern-day incarnations of Iris will be discussed, including Medial Woman, Invisible Woman, Temperance Woman and Traveling Woman. Slides will be used for illustration.
