Cultivating Sacred Feminine Community with Caryn MacGrandle

We are stronger together, and perhaps no one knows this better than my guest for this episode, Caryn MacGrandle. Caryn is the creator behind the Divine Feminine App, an online community, that, since 2016, has been connecting women and all genders in circles, and to events and resources. As Caryn says, if you combined the number of years of experience that the users of the Divine Feminine App have in doing the Mother's work, we would be back in time to a society that valued the Earth and the Mother, recognizing that we are all her children and must work together as such. On  the latest episode we discuss:

• How a full moon gathering sparked Caryn's interest in spiritual community outside the structures of traditional religions, which eventually led to her participation and creation of women's circles.
• Caryn's journey away from the Catholic faith of her youth, through Paganism and eventually to Goddess spirituality
• How the Divine Feminine App came into being, and why Caryn says its ultimate purpose is to take you away from your computer and into connection with your local community
• Why she feels there's no stopping the coming "tsunami of the Mother" (including the fact that it's not a tsunami we need to be afraid of)
• Our upcoming panel discussion on intersectionality that Caryn and I will be participating in at The Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago (August 14-18, 2023)
