The philosophy of the artwork relates to the idea of the sacred feminine. By holding mirrors, we hope to suggest that women are a reflection and embodiment of nature, the sun, the sky and the land. We want to express the belief that we will
rely upon the stren
gth, intuition and wisdom of progressive and enlightened women to find
our place in nature an
d to regain the balance within it. The mirrors communicate that we are a reflection of ourselves, each other and of the world that surrounds
JOIN US TO LEARN "THE THIRD WAY"
, a spiritual practice taught by Gandhi and MLK, as well as many women spiritual teachers. Never respond to violence or aggression with more violence or aggression, and never lie down like a doormat and become the victim. Giving up fight or flight is a very difficult practice and we need religious teachers to learn.
