Goddess 2.0: Advancing a New Path Forward Book Two of the Manifesting a New Normal Trilogy The world is changing — and the Goddess is rising. As patriarchal systems falter and humanity faces ecological, spiritual, and cultural upheaval, more and more people are turning to an ancient source of wisdom: the Sacred Feminine. Goddess 2.0 brings together the voices of visionaries, scholars, and activists who reveal how Goddess consciousness is transforming our world — inspiring partnership over domination, compassion over control, and reverence for life over exploitation. These essays explore how Goddess spirituality informs justice, politics, ecology, leadership, and personal awakening. Together, they illuminate a sacred and revolutionary roadmap toward a sustainable future rooted in balance and love. Featuring insights from Starhawk, Carol P. Christ, Riane Eisler, Barbara G. Walker, Anne Baring , and other leading thinkers, this powerful anthology invites us to remember what we’ve forgotten — and to co-create the world we were always meant to inherit. She is ancient.
