THE QUANDONG TREE
I want to let you know of a fabulous book that has
just been released.
"Under the Quandong tree" by Minmia.
"I want to bring back thinking places. I want
to bring back the songs.
I want to bring back the stroies. I want to bring back
the sence of
belonging. I want to help with the healing. Thats what
I want."
Minmia is an Aboriginal senior woman,educator and
healer. she was born
down the line to carry traditional womens lore/law of
the Wirradjirri

MESSAGE
FROM STARHAWK
Hi friends, below is some good news I have to share.
Many of you are old fans of the Women and Spirituality
trilogy Donna
directed for the National Film Board of Canada back in
the 'eighties and
'nineties: "Goddess Remembered", "Burning
Times", and "Full Circle".
Well, they are finally out on DVD! Their new distributor,
Alive Mind,
is excited about feminist spirituality and savvy about
promotion, and, what's even better-they are also going
to distribute "Signs Out of Time", our documentary
on Marija Gimbutas
http://belili.org/index.html.
This will take a huge load off of us, and
we hope will get these works out to a broader audience.
Alive Mind is sponsoring a new website on the broader
topic of Women
and Spirituality, and both Donna and I will be writing
regular
blogs so you can keep up on our activities. I will continue
to
send out posts to my own list, from time to time, but
I encourage you to
check the new site. The other women who are writing include
Charlene
Spretnak and Carol Christ, and it promises to be a great
dialogue.

Brightest of Blessings for Brigid,
Starhawk
