This is the fourth in a series of international conferences dedicated to the
exploration of the female divine. Sponsored by the Canadian Centre for the
Study of Women and Religion at the University of Ottawa (Canada), it is
under the direction of Dr. Lucie Marie-Mai DuFresne. Divina et Femina IV seeks to bring together researchers, artists, and practitioners exploring the themes of the female divine, priestesshood, women's creation, experience and expression of the divine.
The special focus of this year's conference is the influence of Z Budapest's work and thought on the development of contemporary women's spirituality, feminist witchcraft, goddess worship, thealogy, and gynocentric art.
