The October meeting of our branch will feature Gerlinde Lehner speaking about the cycle of life. During our gathering together we will discuss the archetypes of the maiden, mother, crone and how these archetypes may be active in our lives today. During the presentation we will bring awareness to how our contemporary world defines and holds these roles for women through
music and media. As a child we became somewhat familiar with some of these characters through the fairy tales and stories we have read. Gaining some insight around the maiden, mother, and crone we can continue to orient ourselves as we all continue to move towards the next stage of our lives.
