Goddess Art - Creations of Jeniffer ZimmerWoman
I am related to all things, and my work reminds me that
all energy forces share the same Source. I love various
cultural spiritual icons, because they resonate with
me the truth that all human beings are linked to the
Divine. Diversity is a pleasure to my artistic palate!
My favorite spiritual icons are ones that represent
the female form, because in these representations I
see myself and all my sisters, mothers and daughters.
My work is a spontaneous and personal expression of
a deep love for my woman-kind. I present this work to
the community as an offering, connecting us to each
other and to something greater than ourselves. Many
Blessings!

Kathi Anderson – Visual Artist. I came late to art
making– beginning to paint for the first time in my
life the year I turned 40. When I paint, it feels like playing
in the mud. It is like cooking without a recipe or foraging
for wild greens. It is Spell-making - mysterious, powerful,
irresistible and utterly absorbing. My paintings are new
images of the oldest of stories, Creation, interpreted through
the experiences of the female body. The images are alter
egos (and altar egos) mined from the place where my psyche
joins with the collective spiritual unconscious. The surfaces
stand in the stead of cave ceilings and mesa walls. |

John's pages include many of his writings, including

Governance through Sensemaking." He has information

The Hetakas' Way of Shamanism as presented by Kay Cordell
Whitaker, author of “The Reluctant Shaman”
and “Sacred Link.” The ancient knowledge of
shamanism about waking up out of society's unquestioned
stupor and coming to know who and what you and the rest
of your world really are. Without truly knowing self -
and other - everything we engage is make-belief. “When
you choose to dance with Song, you interlace with the
world, you are intimate like lovers and you make harmony
with all there is. This is dancing the web. This is Katasee.”(excerpt
from Sacred Link)

the life history of a fourth-generation American Indian

between two cultures - the Red world and the White world
- with vastly different belief systems. In this epic journey
of her search for identity and spirituality, she struggles
determinedly to find a place for herself in both cultures
while battling rejection. After traveling around the world
and learning from many spiritual teachers, she returns
full circle to her traditional Indian roots

007 Breasts deals with the controversial subject of woman's
breasts from many different angles. We believe breasts
were not created as sexual objects but as "babyfeeders"!
007 Breasts discusses the breast taboo and obsession,
public breastfeeding, why women fail to breastfeed or
wean early, benefits of breastfeeding, topfreedom, bra
wearing, bras and sagging, bras and breast health, etc.
The site features Normal Breasts Gallery (as opposed to
the "Hollywood" idea of big & perky breasts),
and offers free breastfeeding pictures and an ebook. The
emphasis is on encouraging women to breastfeed and to
quit worrying about the looks of their breasts.
