Lecture: Witch Hunts: A Continuing Death Sentence?By Jaelle Dragomir
Free admission, donations welcome.
Presentation Description:
The witch hunts of the 1400s to the mid-1800s has, for the most part, been a psychologically unprocessed part of our history. The word "witch" conjures up burning at the stake. This horrible judgment and death sentence continues today as a continuing death of the self through silence, repression and denial of what we know and what we have to offer the world. Persecution, hysteria, shame, and abuse of power are all aspects of the hidden psychology of the witch hunts. Silence has prevented our healing from the witch hunts.
Jaelle Dragomir's research and more importantly, her intuition, informs the theory that the 400 years of the witch hunts have affected the psychology of women and men in many aspects of their lives and continues to keep them silenced, afraid to declare their intuitive healing powers. Additionally, the fear of retribution and mass hysteria that resides in our cells passed down from our ancestors has the potential to create illnesses such as breast cancer and Alzheimer's.
Join Jaelle for a lecture and discussion of the witch hunts and the ultimate healing of our fears.
