Are Consciousness raising groups making a comeback?

Not exactly.

But it does appear that every generation attempts to make some sense of "how did I get here, what am I doing here, and how do I get out of here?" quests.

When I was a thirty something, I was a full time mom,  a part time graduate student, a full time wife, and part time playground sitter, trying to make all those things balance. Our challenges were chronicled in the birth of Ms. Magazine, the writings of Betty Friedan, Germaine Greer, Gloria Steinem.  We were challenged to look at our choices, consider these choices, and make more informed choices. Or not. 

All this while serving up Sara Lee mini coffee cakes and coffee. 

Fast forward to the 21st century and we now seem to have "spiritual cowgirls" and "spiritual superheroines" leading the charge. Or so we are told in a recent article I read "seeing yourself in their light".

I want a piece of that.

I am reasonably certain that I can take my superheroine cape out of storage, unfurl my yoga mat, and dispense a lifetimes self-help reading list worth of advice.

My beverage and snack selection is to be determined.

Interested?
