TESTIMONIALS
Peering the Veil is about peeling back the layers of reality and living a more conscious life.
It’s about women riding the Fourth Wave of the women’s movement and its impact on postmodern society and the evolving roles of women in our culture.
It’s about strengthening our intuition and living life from the inside out, not the outside in.
It’s about fostering intellectual debate in a nonjudgmental forum.
It’s about opening our minds and our eyes and facing our fears.
It’s about looking at situation and inherently understanding what is real and what is not.
It’s about realizing that there are innumerable truths as each individual’s reality is different from the next.
It’s about reexamining history and thinking that maybe, just maybe, there is more to the story than what we have been told.
Ultimately, Peering the Veil is about opening the curtain and realizing that the Great Oz is just a reflection of you, me, nature and how all this energy collides to create the universe in which we live.
