Announcing Scholar Salon 2 with Kathy Jones
“Motherworld: Creating a Life-affirming Society for All”
Wednesday, September 25, 2019
2:00-3:00 PM Eastern Time, online
MotherWorld is the society where Mother Earth, mothers and the values of mothering – love, care and support for each other, and for all Her creatures and nature – are placed in the center of our lives and communities.
In MotherWorld, creative and life-affirming values, actions, insights and awareness are honored and encouraged in women, men, children and all genders. It is the society that is grounded in the fact that we all live upon our Mother Earth–the source and foundation of all that we are and all that we have. We need to honor and take care of Her, of each other and of all life.
Kathy says, “MotherWorld is a grassroots movement which can change everything, arising from the Earth Herself. We are exploring what it means to create a MotherWorld community within Glastonbury Goddess Temple and we are setting up a MotherWorld political party.”
Internationally known goddess scholar Kathy Jones is the recipient of ASWM’s 2018 Demeter Award for Leadership in Women’s Spirituality.

Announcing Scholar Salon 1 with Monica Mody
ASWM Online Scholar Salon
Feminism on the Borderlands with Dr Monica Mody
Tuesday, April 16, 2019, 3:00 – 4:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time
ASWM is hosting conversations with scholars about issues relating to women and mythology. In order to be eligible to participate, renew your membership before April 13, 2019. We will send the Zoom call in information to all current members on April 14.
How do we move into the borderlands and reclaim our full relationship with modernity, secularization, and the shadow spaces in our own psyches? How do we relate to the shadow produced by European and western modes of being, thinking and relating to the world, to each other and to ourselves? What do we need to give up? What do we reclaim and bring to the surface?
Let’s have a lively discussion on these questions that transcend disciplines and affect our daily and creative lives as women. Join Dr. Monica Mody for an inspiring discussion on discovering the shadow projects of modernity and secularization from the perspective of feminist and borderlands spirituality and scholarship.
Monica Mody holds a PhD in East West Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies, where she worked on a cross-genre dissertation on the decolonized feminist consciousness in an Anzalduan framework of the borderlands. Monica is a trained dancer and an internationally published poet.
Our salon is moderated by Dr. Gayatri Devi, Associate Professor of English at Lock Haven University, and longtime member of the ASWM Board.
