043: Love is the Answer to Everything – “In Our Right Minds” with Dale Allen

Dale Allen has for 25 years shared the healing energy of the sacred feminine through her work: In Our Right Minds: Guiding Women to Their Strength as Leaders, Leading Men to Strength Without Armor. The piece was first a musical theater production, then a one-women multi-media dynamic presentation, then an award-winning film, now a forthcoming book and a next-level film production. In Our Right Minds has been widely acclaimed in all its forms. As successful live presentation, Dale presented to scores of audiences, touring universities, conferences, corporations, theaters, and expos across the US, Canada, from Kauai to Dubai, and twice to the UN Commission on the Status of Women. (Her encore was requested by the Vice President of the UN Commission, Ambassador Gonzales.) The film screened at the 2023 Parliament of the World’s Religions Film Festival in Chicago. It has been named a Finalist, Official Selection and Semi-Finalist in 19 Independent Film Festivals worldwide.

In Our Right Minds is a sweeping journey covered efficiently and clearly, in short order - judiciously illuminating the history and relevance of the Goddess archetype, its impact on societies where this archetype is active, as well as its connection to our right-brain way of both attending to - and shaping - the world. In Our Right Minds garners praise for being “well-researched, organized, clear, level, balanced, without blame, and inclusive of all the human family.”

Carl Jung wrote in The Structure and Dynamic of the Psyche: “Archetypes, are the living system of reactions and aptitudes that determine the individual’s life in invisible ways. In Our Right Minds looks at the invisible yet powerful ways the Goddess archetype affects persons and cultures. When a society embraces the concept of a female creator, that society behaves differently than a society that embraces a male deity. As Anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday documented: there is a clear connection between Goddess veneration and: the honoring of nature, women’s role as officiators of sacred sacraments, connection to the land, and women’s power and social status. In Our Right Minds illuminates historical and current consequences of the suppression of the Goddess archetype, as well as the ways in which the Goddess archetype is being energized globally today. In Our Right Minds coherently and elegantly synthesizes psychology, history, myth, anthropology, sociology, art and poetry into an eye-opening and life-changing alternation of our perspective.
