038: Enter Here: Pros and Cons of a Brick & Mortar Church of the Goddess with Dominique Bryant Williams, Flora Ware, and Dr. Carla Ionescu

Today I’m hosting another panel episode with three guests who’ve been on the show before; Dominique Bryant Williams, Community Coordinator at WomanSpirit Reclamation, Flora Ware, Marketing Mentor and founder of Earth Song Temple, Dr. Carla Ionescu, The Artemis Expert and host of the Goddess Project podcast. Together we look at the pros and cons of having an “official” Church of the Goddess and/or a Goddess religion. Dominique Bryant Williams is the Community Coordinator at WomanSpirit Reclamation, where she supports women in their journey to self-sovereignty and embodiment. She studied Marine Biology and Environmental Science at the University of California Santa Barbara, and now she dives deep into the work of inner child reclamation and rest as resistance.
