About this course
The course unfolds the evolution of human consciousness through several phases, and the Great Work ahead. First, it explores the role of the Great Mother Goddess in the Lunar Era and our original participation in Cosmic Soul. It goes on to examine the Great Father and the Solar Era, our separation from Nature, the evolution of the conscious ego, and a split between mind and soul.
Anne then explains how an Awakening of the Deep Feminine, and recovering a connection to the Soul, will create a new awareness that will help heal ourselves and our relationship with the earth.
Finally, the Great Work of Alchemy and the Stellar Era describes the sacred marriage of the masculine and feminine aspects of our nature, mind and soul. The sacred marriage, understood and lived as a new story for our time, could lead to our becoming truly human: wise, compassionate, and ethical in all our relationships with the planet, and with each other.
