IHL 6785 - Women's Embodiment,Sexuality,and Healing

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

This course offers a personal, multicultural, and womanist exploration of the spiritual gifts, liberatory struggles, embodied experiences, cultural roles, and collective and individual resilience found in women around the world. Using readings drawn from science and medicine, psychology, feminism, women's spirituality, Earth-based spiritual traditions, and the writings of women of color, we will review and re-envision the basic themes of female embodiment: woman and nature; growth and maturation; illness, disability, death, and dying; sexual diversity, abuse, and healing; and menarche, childbirth, and menopause. We will use the sacred arts of ritual, writing, sound, and movement to weave a safe container to hold our own stories of descent, healing, and transformation.
