SUMMARY:Middle Reads: The Black Madonna by Christena Cleveland
DESCRIPTION:Meet Black Madonna—Mother of Abundance\, Holy Insurrectionist\, Our Lady of F Around and Find Out\nJoin us for a four-week read of this new book! Dr. Christena Cleveland will also offer a retreat on November 7 as a culmination of our reading. (You do not have to participate in the book read to attend the retreat. Do not have to participate in the retreat to participate in the book read.) \nThe chapters that will be covered each week are the following:\nOct 6th: Chs. 1 & 2\nOct 13th: Chs. 3 & 4\nOct 20th: Chs. 5 & 6\nOct 27th: Chs. 7 & 8 \nRegister Here! \nBook Description \nThis bold reclamation of the divine feminine offers a new vision of Black Madonna as a unifying figure of refuge\, resistance\, and renewal. When we are exhausted and burned out\, Black Madonna invites us to surrender to her protective embrace and be revitalized by her subversive life force. When disillusionment takes hold\, Black Madonna offers radical belonging—urging us to reclaim our own sacred power. \nChristena Cleveland expertly blends personal experiences\, global stories\, and historical records to reveal the cunning colonial forces that poison our social and spiritual landscape\, while illuminating our Divine Ancestor as an endless source of spiritual nourishment\, liberation\, and protection. Intimate invocations and empowering rituals within each chapter help you to nurture your own authentic connection with Black Madonna and feel her loving guidance through the twists and turns of life. This book is a call to mystic-activism—for all of us who are alert to injustice and fervently devoted to co-creating a world of love.

SUMMARY:Middle Reads: The Black Madonna by Christena Cleveland
DESCRIPTION:Meet Black Madonna—Mother of Abundance\, Holy Insurrectionist\, Our Lady of F Around and Find Out\nJoin us for a four-week read of this new book! Dr. Christena Cleveland will also offer a retreat on November 7 as a culmination of our reading. (You do not have to participate in the book read to attend the retreat. Do not have to participate in the retreat to participate in the book read.) \nThe chapters that will be covered each week are the following:\nOct 6th: Chs. 1 & 2\nOct 13th: Chs. 3 & 4\nOct 20th: Chs. 5 & 6\nOct 27th: Chs. 7 & 8 \nRegister Here! \nBook Description \nThis bold reclamation of the divine feminine offers a new vision of Black Madonna as a unifying figure of refuge\, resistance\, and renewal. When we are exhausted and burned out\, Black Madonna invites us to surrender to her protective embrace and be revitalized by her subversive life force. When disillusionment takes hold\, Black Madonna offers radical belonging—urging us to reclaim our own sacred power. \nChristena Cleveland expertly blends personal experiences\, global stories\, and historical records to reveal the cunning colonial forces that poison our social and spiritual landscape\, while illuminating our Divine Ancestor as an endless source of spiritual nourishment\, liberation\, and protection. Intimate invocations and empowering rituals within each chapter help you to nurture your own authentic connection with Black Madonna and feel her loving guidance through the twists and turns of life. This book is a call to mystic-activism—for all of us who are alert to injustice and fervently devoted to co-creating a world of love.
