“Lady of all the essences, full of light, good woman clothed in radiance whom heaven and earth love… You are a flood descending from a mountain, O primary one, moon goddess Inanna of heaven and earth!” — Poem by the Priestess Enheduanna, C. 2300 BCE.

Imagine traveling to a hauntingly dark and mysterious place, alone. Forced to surrender everything you know along the way - everything you think you are – you arrive at your destination sans armor, comforts, or totems of identity, cold and naked. Truly alone. Who are you?
Inanna is the ancient Sumerian Goddess – the Queen of Heaven – whose story of descent and return from the underworld can inspire us to surrender the stories of who we think we are; the masks we’ve adorned ourselves with to construct our identity, conform to expectations, and “earn” prestige or status. What does it mean to strip ourselves bare and meet the world with our truest essence? What does it mean for us? How does it transform the world?
Join us as we re-tell the story of Inanna’s journey and imagine the opportunity for our own shedding – programming, defenses, stories, woundedness – to find ourselves anew; transformed, and more truthful, awake, and fierce than we imagined we could be.
Join us in the Red Tent this Friday for meditation and sharing. Bring your journal.
