When a mother of American anthropology, Edith Turner, published field notes about her sense of spirit, she concluded that anthropologists’ awareness of spirit is something of which they “do not talk.” Rudolph Steiner, the father of anthroposophy, left unfinished his spiritual anthropology of our sub- and supernatural senses. And the grandfather of philosophy, Philo, literally disappeared such feminine wisdom by translating Sophia into logos. Through discussion, painting, readings, participant-observation and ethnographic writing we’ll explore what constitutes this feminine divine in culture and ecology. Our field site is a workshop of ritual, lectures, and cosmic dances led by Dr. Robert Powell, movement therapist and author of The Sophia Teachings (www.sophiafoundation.org).
