Reverend Lesley Anne Curran: The Function of Imagination

In this meaningful talk, Reverend Curran points to the way that imagination enables us to step outside of ourselves and look at ourselves fully.

In today’s ‘post God present’, Lesley highlights the necessity of imagination as a vehicle for u...

In this wonderful talk, Joan Harcourt brings the wisdom of Marion Woodman, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Jane Prétat as well as her own life experience and work with older women’s groups to the powerful image of the Crone.
