EPISODE 188; Eve & the Power of Creative Transgression with Vanya Leilani
Manage episode 458370442 series 3410414
You will love this beautiful, powerful chat with Vanya Leilani, who is a depth psychologist, writer, teacher and storyteller with a PhD in Depth Psychology.
Vanya shares about growing up in a conservative, fundamentalist religion and the dichotomy of the often harmful spiritual colonisation and the enchanting mythical aspects that both accompanied it.
She challenges the predominant creation myth in the Western world and Eve's role in humanity falling from grace, and its implications for narratives and justifications for sexism, racism, and White Supremacy, as well as the exiling and eradication of the sacred feminine; the Great Reversal.
Vanya goes on to celebrate Eve's role as a pioneer of creative transgression or disobedience that sets us free, allows us to claim our sovereignty and our right to exist and to freely and authentically express ourselves and our desires.
Enjoy!
