This talk interprets the contemporary political and social crisis in America as a spiritual birth pang. A new more immanent feminine spirituality is welling up to heal the disconnect between the modern world and increasingly irrelevant dominant spiritual traditions. With its most recent roots largely in the 60s, this new development is appearing in the rethinking of the spiritual, and the role of women in some Christian and Jewish traditions, Western Buddhism, NeoPaganism, Shamanism, and the African Diasporic traditions. If there is interest, diZerega will teach the audience to see subtle energy.

Weeks after receiving his Ph.D. in Political Science at UC Berkeley in 1984, Gus diZerega unexpectedly found himself exploring the world of psychic phenomena and spirits beings, culminating in a powerful encounter with the Wiccan Goddess at Midsummer. From then on he led a double life as a political theorist deeply involved in shamanic and Pagan spirituality and healing. DiZerega is completing his third book on these subjects. Along with extensive academic publications, he is author of Pagans and Christians: The Personal Spiritual Experience and (with Philip Johnson) Beyond the Burning Times: Christian and Pagan in Dialogue. DiZerega has spoken and conducted healing work for many years in the US and Canada.
