I hate to use the word 'serious', but as an artist, I am constantly looking for new ideas and thought I'd be fun to do this with others. To get a sense of the tone of the group, perhaps you can check out my artist page & blog at facebook.com/thou.a …

The voice of the Divine Feminine is re-emerging in human consciousness bringing with Her a new vision of the sacredness and unity of life. Her voice is needed during these chaotic times.
