Title: Cakes for the Queen of Heaven Location: 6 Locke Street
Description: Cakes for the Queen of Heaven, Part I of a two part series of workshops that examines pre-Judeo Christian cultures that may have worshiped the female as divine. The concepts of equality and reverence for the female in a religious setting are eye-opening to many participants.
Classes will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Andover, 6 Locke Street, Andover, MA 01810
Part I: 5 Sessions will be held on Sundays, October 25th, November 8th, 15th, 22nd and December 6th 7:00 to 9:00 PM
Part I: In Ancient Times
IN ANCIENT TIMES introduces participants to ancient Goddesses, weaving their stories together with major concerns of women today. The five session adult religious education curriculum includes an introductory section featuring author Shirley Ranck’s

“Statement of Feminist Thealogy,” Elinor Artman’s “Brief Herstory of Cakes,” and Nancy Vedder-Shults, “Baking Cakes for the Queen of Heaven.” The themes of the Session Plans are: The Sacred Female, In the Name of the Mother and the Daughter, Womanpower, The First Turning-From Goddess to God, and Reclaiming Women’s Heritage of Peace.” The resource section includes supplementary essays by a number of important authors, a listing of highly
recommended materials, and the sheet music of songs by Carole Eagleheart and Ann Forfreedom for use with the curriculum. The curriculum also includes a CD-ROM with five Visual Programs to accompany the sessions, plus resource material for easy distribution to participants.
Part II ON THE THRESHOLD consists of six-sessions and will begin in January.
This women-only series provides a safe environment for sharing, bonding and for the affirmation of the feminine.
