Spring 2027 Courses
(Details are subjected to change without notice)
Restoring the Magoist Calendar (13 months 28 days) I (0.5 Credit)
Course No: 302
Instructor: Dr. Helen Hye-Sook Hwang
Time: January TBA (8 hours in all)
Description: The 13 months and 28 days Magoist Calendar (lunar-menstrual-solar) is the key of entering the matriversal reality of WE/HERE/NOW wherein ALL are membered as kindred in the Cosmic Mother. Charting the synchronized cycle of women’s menstruation, lunation, and the Earth’s revolution around the sun, the Magoist Calendar guides human lives in harmony with the creative force of the Matriverse, the Cosmic Music or Ninefold Sonic Numerology. Characterized by regularity and synchronicity, the Magoist Calendar leads human societies in tune with the Cosmic Music, a ceaseless interplay of nine numbers, which creates, nurtures, and transforms ALL (including inorganic entities). By way of the Magoist Calendar, we humans are found kindred not only with other humans but also with ALL else in the Matriverse.
Female Divine in Myth, History, and Culture (0.5 Credit)
Course No: 405
Instructor: Dr. Helen Benigni
Time: January 19, February 16, March 16 and April 20 at 1PM PT (Tuesdays, 4 sessions of 2 hour-long per session, 8 hours in all)
Description: This course traces the evolution of the basic archetypes of the Goddesses of Life, Death and Regeneration outlined by Marija Gimbutas as they evolve from the Paleolithic Era to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Focus on the Creatrix and Regeneration Goddesses in Western Europe and the Mediterranean reveals attributes in the matricentric cultures that allowed all forms of the Goddess to flourish as part of an expression of the Female Divine in myth, history and culture.
Creatrix and Mothers: Thealogies of Birth (0.5 Credit)
Course No: 403
Instructor: Dr. Nané Jordan
Time: TBA (8 hours in all)
Description: Thealogies of birth explores the birthing-potentiality of the divine
female/feminine and Great Mother in connection to women’s birth-giving power. Reflecting on
thea-logy, as in study of Goddess, through an embodied, eco-spiritual feminist lens that holds
birth, those who give it, and all being born as sacred, we inquire into matricentric (mother-
centred) understandings of birth and qualities of experience. Weaving meaning with Earth-
honouring thea-perspectives, we explore interconnecting threads of goddesses and
mothers—write large and small—at the centre of birthing agency, care, and spirituality, and
potentials of such in our lives.
Archaic Roots of Spiritual Rituals and the Mother/Bear Worship (1 Credit)
Course No: 406
Instructor: Dr. Kaarina Kailo
Time: TBA (16 hours)
We will study the key elements of the ancient worldview that carries traces of the Bear-Great Mother worship or the Bear Religion through oral storytelling and archeomythology. I show how the religious shrine has developed from the cave bear’s abode and its ritual aspects and how its vestiges are found even in saunas and North American sweat lodge rituals. The persistent elements carried over to modernity include the notion of rebirth, regeneration, the protective Great Mother in her many guises (Sheela-na-Gig and Artemis). The course presents information on cross-cultural bear goddesses and reveals their importance to an ecosocially more sustainable future.
Whale/Dragon Bells: Whale Songs from Ancient Silla Korea (0.5 Credit)
Course no: 303
Instructor: Dr. Helen Hye-Sook Hwang
Time: TBA (8 hours in all)
Description: This course explores one of the masterpiece Ceto-Magoist cultural expressions, ancient Silla Korean whale/dragon bells. Its major symbols and concepts including the dragon (planetary circulation of water by whale songs), the ninefold cosmic music (the cosmogenic force), the female body (the cosmic reality), and the sono-numeric feature as well as the myth of the pacifying flute (the dragon identified as whale songs) will be discussed. It sheds light on how early Sillan Ceto-Magoist Mu-Shaman queens and mothers put forth their sons and daughters as the leaders of ancient Silla (ca. 57 BCE-935) and continued to revive and innovate the legacy of Ceto-Magoist Old Korea (pre-patriarchal One People of the Planet).
S/HE Forums Spring 2027 (0.25 Credit per forum)
Course no: 901
Instructors: Helen Benigni Ph.D., Helen Hye-Sook Hwang Ph.D., and Others
Time: September through December (Second and/or Fourth Sat of the month, 8 hours)
Description: The S/HE Creatrix Studies Forum is a collective teaching course prepared and facilitated by forum organizers (0.25 credit for each forum section). Each of the forum organizers will lead 4 hours of either one or two sessions in a month for the duration of four months. Each facilitator/teacher leads a class focusing on the topic of her own expertise by inviting 2-4 guest speakers who will speak on the topic salient to the forum theme.
