Women don't go on a solitary hero's journey. Our journey is relational, so we find God in the details of ordinary life such as nursing our children rather on a journey to some distant place. Women as nurturers worship God by creating safe, warm places in which other people can grow and flower. This is a daily activity that we perform for people we care about. Our flights of mystical union are born of the practicalities of living.
Many women are angry about religious patriarchy and have abandoned their religions.
One complaint is that rituals unique to women are missing from the practices of most structured religions. All religions have rituals pertaining to death. Yet, when a woman loses a child through the death of a born child or through the choice for abortion, special women's rituals can be uniquely healing. Even when a woman miscarries a child, it's difficult to find a place where she can express and move through that grief. Ritual circle provides a place to do that.
