EnlightenNext (then called "What is Enlightenment? Magazine) started this deep conversation in 2007 with their first "Woman" issue, which is HIGHLY recommended reading. Click here to check out the back issue.
MyOutSpirit.com encourages lesbian, bi-attractional and trans women to join in the conversation by writing emails, comments and letters to EnlightenNext and participating in events. Whatever your gender and sex, we should ALL follow this deep work; the implications are really transformational.

This little video was just great, but I was highly suspicious when it ended with yet another male guru out there telling women that they can't create their own spiritual communities. We've been doing this for decades in lesbian communities worldwide, and on women's land.
Medieval women's communities flourished despite the church, and women had a lovely tradition in Europe. In China, they were the marriage resisters and had thousands of members. Thoughout herstory, women have created the spirit and the spiritual. Men have always attempted to destroy, suppress or make fun of this gynergy.
We don't ever need men to tell us how to live, how to prosper or how to think.
Go back to the source of the most powerful spiritual leaders in lesbian feminist traditions, and you'll find the real power, not the watered down variety.
