Mythologium 2023 welcomes Dr. Andrea M. Slominski

Dr. Slominski’s presentation is called “Myth Illuminates the Heart of Humanity, and it is Eternally, Blessedly Feminine.”

Myth illuminates the heart of humanity. The heart is the noble seat of love, compassion, empathy, intuition, creativity, feeling, relationship, and nurturance. These are attributes of the archetypal feminine. The heart is held, nurtured, opened, protected, led, expanded, and emboldened by the eternal sacred feminine.

All of humanity, and many other beings on this planet, were born through an embodiment of the feminine, the mother. This is our first relationship. This is our first narrative, our first story.

As life progresses, we can turn to the stories of the goddesses to understand our expanding narratives and be reconciled to our hearts. Many of the goddesses’ stories exemplify all the pain and glory that a human heart can experience. These metaphoric narratives invite us to embrace the shadow and the light of love, the full and the empty heart. They call us to compassion and empathy for ourselves and each other. They invite us to embrace each other as we go through our personal experiences of life’s universal rites of passage. This is the relational energy of the heart, and it is eternally, blessedly feminine.
