Workshop: Reclaiming Eve: About

INTRODUCTION

Many of us have lived under the Christian myth of Adam and Eve. A story that depicts women as sinful, dangerous, and in some ways, connected to evil. But what if that's not the real story?

What if Eve's decision to eat from the Tree of Knowledge was an act of self-discovery, curiosity, and intuitive feeling?


What if liberation and knowledge were what she wanted? What if the Christian creation myth empowered instead of oppressed? In what kind of world would we live in?

Workshop: Reclaiming Eve: About

Reclaiming Eve

Curiosity is connected to impulses and hunches of our intuition. The feminine wants knowledge. It wants to be self-aware, it wants to know is naked.


Eve's desire for knowledge and self-awareness represents a fundamental impulse of the feminine. One that has been repressed and considered treacherous, turning the traditional story of Adam and Eve a tool, and justification for the subjugation of women.

WORKSHOP CONTENT

During the workshop, you will experience the storytelling of the Christian myth of creation, a broader discussion followed by a symbolic interpretation that empowers and strengthens women's sense of self.

Symbols we will interpret:

- Eve

- The apple

- The act of eating the fruit

- The snake

- The tree of knowledge

- Being removed from the Garden of Eden

Join us to reflect on the consequences of this myth to women today and reimagine a symbolic story that empowers and supports women in their search for consciousness.

Workshop: Reclaiming Eve: About

To forbid a woman to use the key to conscious self knowledge strips away her intuitive nature, her natural instinct for curiosity that leads her to discover “what lies underneath” and beyond the obvious. Without this knowing, the woman is without proper protection.
