Women's Psychedelic Book Club

The current book is Merlin Stone’s classic When God Was a Woman. We will discuss a chapter at a time over a series of gatherings.

How did the shift from matriarchy to patriarchy come about? In When God Was a Woman, Merlin Stone traces the ancient Goddess traditions, where women once held property, traded, and inherited through their mothers. She documents how myths and religions were rewritten to cast the Goddess as depraved and reveals how these transformations shaped modern gender roles.

We’ll discuss the book and and how psychedelics help us reconnect with the divine feminine. This is a space for women to reflect, share, and integrate whether you’ve read the whole book or just a chapter.

We support ordering a copy from Dudley's Book Shop in Bend.
