Join us as we the topic of “goddess” leads us into a discussion on our feelings around the societal standard of separating “sacred” and the “divine” from anything relating to human normalcy. We are all already sacred, already divine. What would change if we acknowledged it?

Am I on the right path? Have I drifted off track? Is this right for me? All questions we all ask ourselves at one point or another. And questions Sue Ellen and Savanna have been asking themselves lately. While they certainly can’t answer the question for you, they explore these questions for themselves and their self inquiry might spark some inspiration for your own.
