This Saturday morning the Wake Up and Live! regulars will be joined by Linda & Yvette Sechrist from Naples, FL. Linda balances her left and right brains as editor for "Natural Awakenings", an on-line magazine and as board member of the Urban Land Institute, a non-profit organization in DC whose mission is the highest, wisest use of the land. Yvette, who's moving to Nashville, is involved with Linda in creating Mother/Daughter retreats based on the Demeter/Persephone mythology.
The story of the abduction of Demeter's daughter, Persephone, and her subsequent resurrection and return, fascinated the ancient world for more than 2,000 years. The major motifs of this myth-theme include pristine virginity, betrayal, rape, lust, abduction, depression, and reunion of the mother and daughter. The myth of Demeter/Persephone reflects the condition of the feminine spirit in a patriarchal society. In addition, the myth has grave implications regarding the condition of our environment and the relationship that human activities have on the health of the planet.
Bongo Boy and Tony return this week to provide some live music in studio.
