Rebel Shamans: Women Confront Empire

Sunday, January 29, 2012
Noon, San Francisco time (see timezone converter)

Did you know that medicine women and female prophets led numerous rebellions against conquest, slavery, and empire?
They challenged systems of domination on multiple levels --and yet few people know anything about this historical pattern.
We'll look at how African/Diasporic and Indigenous women draw on their cultural traditions to resist colonization—and how, because of where they stand in an oppressive colonial order, their personal access to transformative power makes the spiritual political.

Includes: Dahia al-Kahina (Tunisia), Kimpa Vita of Kongo, Juana Icha (Peru), Queen Nanny of the Maroons (Jamaica), María Candelaria of Chiapas, Toypurina of the Tongva (L.A.), Wanankhucha of the Somali Bantu, Lozen of the Apache, Teresa Urrea La Santa de Cabora (Sonora), Nehanda Nyakasikana (Zimbabwe) and the oracles of Nyabinghi (Uganda)...

$7-15, sliding scale donation. (Reparations discount 50% for Indigenous and African/Diaspora people.) Please enter name of webinar you are registering for in the Special Instructions line. After payment you'll be sent a URL to sign yourself up, and then a final URL to be used at the day/time of the webcast. (It's a good idea to log in early.

Suppressed Histories: Ancient Spain & Portugal

Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012 at
11 AM, San Francisco time (see timezone converter)

Max Dashu presents a rare and rich cache of art and culture from from Mesolithic times forward. We'll view figurines and plaques in stone, bone, and clay; women in rock art and ancestral stelas; lunula necklaces and female diadems. We'll see how the Iberian Goddess fuses with Phoenician Ashtart and Tanit, with Isis and Demeter, and Ataecina in the west. Other treasures include the majestic statues of Galera, Elche, Baza, Alicante, and scenes of priestesses and devotees offering libation at the great sanctuaries of Cerro de los Santos, Torreparedones, La Serreta, and Caudete. Women's ritual culture shines through in ceramic painting and sculpture: musicians, processions, dancers, spinners, censers; wolf-women, bird-women, riders. And the petroglyphs and ritual saunas of Portugal and Galicia.
